- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 5400 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
- Interface(s): USB Type C (USB 3.1 Gen1) (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: does this item come with the cord to plug into the computer
A: 2 cables, USB-C to USB-C and USB 3.0 to USB-C
Q: Will this drive work compatibly with Apple Time Machine for back up AND retrievable?
A: There is the option of MAC only, PC only or both.
A: yes. Easiest way to do this is to format the hard drive on the Mac using the application "Disk Utility". Format it using the pull down, called "ExFat". ExFat is way of formatting the drive that will let you read, and write, from both Mac and PC. That being said, it must be done from the Mac side. For whatever reason, Mac's do not like ExFat formatted drives from the PC side in my experience. Also, on the Mac side, there are certain things that won't work like file cataloging. For most people, this wont' matter, but if you use disk cloning software, it won't be able to clone ExFat drives as fast.

A: No, it is not wireless ready.
