just fine. Do remember to reformat it when you get it because it will be
formatted for a PC and when you try to save files or folders with certain
characters in their titles that a PC formatted flash drive doesn't like, it
will give you an alert telling you you have to change the file name on a
file that has existed just fine on your Mac.
