    Great Product

    This particular product extends and surpasses the expectation of storage, connectivity, and size. I use this product to store my pics and videos. I have very large database of pics and it keeps adding every week. It is very easy and fast to transfer pics from laptop to this hard drive. This portable hard drive is very sturdy and works perfectly fine even after a drop on the floor. It does come with the Cable. Great price and great customer service from WD. When you buy this particular product from the best buy make sure about the return policy (If you ever have to return or if you don't like this product, which might be unusual) for this product.

    Returned item'

    Hard drive does not have firmware upgrade to allow it to play with my Samsung LED 55in TV. So, this hard drive shows no videos after plugged into multiple USB ports on TV. It will only show videos on my laptop and other computers. I returned the item back to store.

    Simple, well designed backup device

    I liked being able to set this up with a backup system without much ado. The capacity is greater than my computer hard drive.

    PS4 Compatible

    I purchased this 1 TB external hard drive as a $40 Deal of the Day for my Playstation 4. The hard drive has functioned well without issue. I did not realize the PS4 did not have a USB port in the back and had to plug the USB cable into a front port, but the USB cable was just long enough to allow the slim designed drive to tuck right in behind my PS4. I have purchased more downloadable games than expected since I purchased the drive. In retrospect I wish I had purchased at least a 2 TB or larger, and would recommend you purchase at least the next size up hard drive for your PS4 than you think you might need, of course limited by what you can afford, but the price of external hard drives continues to go down. Gaming storage trends continues to move more toward downloads and less on physical hard copy discs of games. Good gaming everyone.

Questions & Answers

  • Will this work with Dish Hopper?

    I would guess not, as Dish is proprietary service, you can all them and ask them.

    Answered by JAXFLROOFER

  • Does it works with iMac Time Machine?

    Sure, any external HDD will work with Time Machine back up...as long as it's formatted in MAC OS Extended (Journaled) or NTSF. I prefer NTSF because it's MAC and Windows compatible, meaning you can use the stored files on both types of computers. If you only intend on using the back up files on a MAC then the OS Extended would be the better choice. To read and write on an NTSF drive with a MAC you may need to install a driver, I use Paragon NTFS. It depends on your MAC, newer systems have the necessary drivers installed.

  • Would this external hard drive work on a ps4?

    Yes....It works GREAT. Using it for that purpose with GREAT success.

    Answered by FrankS1313

  • The description says that this external hard drive has both USB 3.0 & 2.0 ports. Are the USB 2.0 ports backward compatible with USB 1.0 ports on my PC? In other words, will it work with my older PC which only has USB 1.0 ports? Thank you!

    Yes it will, USB has always been designed with backwards compatibility in mind so even though USB 3.0 connector is different from the 1.0 and 2.0 connectors, it will still work with them. You simply will not be able to benefit from the speed 3.0 was designed to produce.

    Answered by NIcK

  • Will it work with MAC and PC both same time without any reformatting ?

    Unfortunately, this needs to be reformatted to do anything with Mac OS. You can partition it to work with both but it will need to be reformatted to be able to do so.
