    This drive works very well, and takes up little space on my desk. It looks awesome - the aluminum enclosure is well built and it matches the color of my mac perfectly. The USB3 interface is fast. I'm very satisfied.

    The drive was very easy to install, and so far it's been working well for me without any issues. I'm using it on a daily basis for Time Machine backups and for regular file copying. It's pretty quiet, and has good transfer speeds. So far no complaints.

    I got this drive a couple of months ago and I'm very pleased. The transfer speeds are very good with USB3. It's great that there's plenty of storage. I've accumulated lots of video and photos over the years, so I always welcome an opportunity to offload files to an external hard drive. It's also worthwhile mentioning that the drive is very quiet. Overall great product.

    This drive looks pretty good next to my Mac, and the 3 TB storage capacity is completely mind-blowing! I figure it will take care of my storage and backup needs for the foreseeable future. For the great design, top quality, and good performance, I give this an easy five stars.

    Subject says it all. Sleek, industrial grade design, robust performance, runs quietly with minimal heat and set up is a breeze. Plug and go. Made for a Mac.

    I was looking for a drive that would look good and operate well when connected to my iMac. In the end, I opted for Porsche. It looks like it was designed with my Mac in mind and it works with Time Machine, without any hiccups or issues. I would buy another one of these drives in a heartbeat.

    Among the things I appreciate about the design of the Porsche, besides its data transfer speed, is that there is no fan noise (it's not a power hog, so there's no fan) and you can neither hear nor feel the drive vibrating as it comes to speed (this is particularly, um, NOT noticeable if you use the power-saving capability of the preloaded software).

    I'd recommend this drive to anyone who needs a simple, and easy backup system. It was plug-and-play for me and so far I haven't had any issues with it. The backups are faultless with Time Machine and I don't have to worry about my data security, since it can be encrypted with this drive, nor about running out of space - 3TB is an enormous amount of storage capacity to safely save all my files, music, video and photos..

    It is decently fast and quite, nice industrial design with a big thick aluminum heat sink on top, works like a charm with the new usb3 macs, it's second gen usb3 allowing scsi over USB protocol. Very happy with the fanless design, great for musicians or anyone who hates noise.

    I've got tons of files, photos and video and I've been running low on storage space lately. Besides I got tired of managing multiple backup drives, so I've opted for this 3TB baby. It's quite heavy due to the thick aluminum enclosure. The design and the build quality are awesome. Transfer speeds are great. I also love that there is a data encryption option, which gives me peace of mind knowing that even if I leave the drive behind somewhere the information contained cannot be accessed and is totally secure.

    Was this useful? Great Design. Great Performance.
