QuestionHow hard is it to use this to store pictures saved on my computer to transfer them from my computerto the external HD?
Asked 9 years ago by Sherry.
- Answer It's very simple. As soon as you plug this device into your computer it will recognize it as a NEW storage device automatically. At this point, you just open the folder on your computer that contains all your photos and DRAG all the photos to the new hard drive. (i would create a photo on the new hard drive first called "Photos" or something similar.

QuestionIs this external HD compatible with my macbook?
Asked 8 years ago by Row.
- Answer Yes, if you format it correctly. Go to utilities - disk utilities and erase the drive. It will give you an option to rename it then keep it MAC OS X journaled. Just make sure you erase the easystore and not your actual hard drive. It's clear but just double-check.

QuestionI am not savvy as far as back-up. Do the external backup drives back-up all folders? I basically want to know if external back-up also save my email folders created for documents sent via email. Thank you!
Asked 8 years ago by Pollywog17.
- Answer It will not necessarily automatically back up everything on your computer (programs, for example, would not be backed up). You can always use it like you would use a flash drive and drag and drop anything that wasn't included in your backup.

QuestionCan this drive be used through a usb hub?
Asked 7 years ago by rterrell007.
- Answer Unless it's a powered Hub it's unlikely the drive will work correctly while connected to the hub. The new USB C hubs provide plenty of power but older USB 3 or 2 hubs typically will not have enough juice coming from the computer port to supply power to an external hard drive.
