Is that the USB Stick ( they now have a Photo drive, “Photo Stick Plus” enclosure, now ) I have seen infomercials on TV about and on the Web, like YouTube ads?

Looks like a genuine product and probably safe to use with a Mac.

The stick just looks like a fancy-looking USB flash drive and the Photo Stick Plus looks to be either a standard USB mechanical spinning laptop, 5400 RPM drive enclosure OR an SSD drive in an USB enclosure.

They do not give any tangible specs on the USB drive enclosure version.

Here is their Website.

You can get better USB sticks and better enclosed drives for Macs to do data backups.

Their product doesn't seem worth it to me.

This product appears to me to be marketed toward users who do not know much about computers and using external drives for data backups of their important computer data.


It is what it is.

It looks like a harmless, innocuous product.
