Q: QuestionWii U Memory expansionDoes anybody know if this hard drive is good for expanding your Wii U memory?

Asked 10 years ago by Lina.

• A:Answer I haven't used it on a Wii, but I did connect it to my network router to create a network cloud. The connection I used was originally intended for a finger drive. This suggests to me that any component that a finger drive will work on, this will work as expanded storage. If the Wii has a usb port that connects to any type of storage, I think this will work.

Q: QuestionHow do I fix my Backup Plus Slim portable Drive if it stops working?Comment on computer says No Backups for 12 days. There was a message that said disc improperly ejected.

Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Best bet is make an ubuntu live cd or startup USB. I personally would use a 4GB or 8GB usb. I had to recover data from many hard drives as they fail and ubuntu lets you copy and retry without aborting the entire process, that way you can start copying, and the hard drive flakes on and off, you just have to keep retrying.

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with Time Machine (on Mac)?Seagate has another 1TB hard drive that says specifically "for Mac" and "Compatible with Time Machine." This product does not say that though it will, of course, work with Mac.

Asked 10 years ago by Harmony.

• A:Answer Yes. It will work with Time Machine! You will just need to take the very easy step of formatting it with the OSX Drive Utility. That is the only difference between the Mac Version & This version. Buy the Mac one and you're essentially paying someone at Seagate $10-50 to format the same exact drive. If the price difference is worth it for you for peace of mind or stress avoidance I say pay it and not worry about it. Hope this helps.
