Fast and reliable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this for graphic design. It's fast enough to work off of when I'm mobile. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the size. But you get what you ask for when you need substantial amounts of space.

Drive seems fine, time will tell.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The drive works as advertised, although its true test will be lasting for at least 5 years. It was relatively straightforward to set up with a Mac, although a novice would have had problems following the instructions provided, which i didn't need. It did arrive a week early, although given that you estimated a delivery time of almost two weeks to get it to one of your stores for pickup, that is not particularly amazing.

Works as Expected - Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this specifically for downloading video games and I havent experienced any issues. The only issue I do have is with the plug. Its very heavy, and doesn't stay in the wall very well (knocked it out in the middle of a game more than once). I definitely suggest putting it on a power strip!

Q: QuestionWill this work with Wii U?
Asked by Ducky.
- A:Answer Any hard drive that can be plugged into the wall over 2TB can be used by the Wii U, but it cannot access the extra data on the hard drive over 2TB, so for this hard drive, it cannot access the 1TB extra data on this hard drive.
