Quick and Reliable for Time Machine backups

I'm using this WD 5TB My Passport Ultra for Mac on my iMac. So far, so good. Set up was as easy as plugging it in and selecting it to be my Time Machine drive. On the downside, it's replacing a 3TB WD My Passport that died.

Purchased to use with iPad, later reformatted to ExFat so I can move file from different external drives. No problem doing format. Drive is fast!
I would recommend this to a friend!
