A:AnswerIt does not come with back up software. I have a lot of things that I need to back up. This gives me tons of storage, and I simply save items to it just like I would save them to a folder. It's easy. This drive is small, but holds more than my other 2 external drives.
A:AnswerYou are clearly either too dank or not dank enough to ask such a question. It is a hard drive designed to work with computers and so forth. If it does not it is clearly broken. And by the way Windows11 is not for the dank. Linux is .
A:AnswerHi BigTony, Sony added support for external USB hard drives on the PS5 with their April 2021 update. However, due to PS5 restrictions, games can only be played off the console’s internal SSD. As such, external USB storage hard drives only function as a faster way to hot-swap games and data on or off the PS5’s internal storage. -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information

A:AnswerHi, Please be informed that the WD Easystore drive is a plug and play device tested and designed for Windows and Mac computers for seamless operation.

A:AnswerThis is a mechanical drive so you won't see it maxing out the USB 3.0 bus. Internal drive is 5400 rpms and due to the USB protocol overhead, you can expect speeds to be a little slower than an internal 5400 rpm drive. Not sure what that is off the top of my head but it's on the order of mbps, not gbps.
A:Answerno the internal drive of the tb wd easystore cannot be taken out and used in a pc, components of the ndrive are soldered together and not able to be taken apart to be used in any way other than as intended

A:AnswerI havent found any datasheet even from WD that included the RPM. From using the drive it seems quite fast as long as its on a usb3 connection. Copied a 1GB movie to it in about 1.5-2 ish seconds. Did a full backup from an older laptop with a 1TB SSD to it of about 300GB in about 15 mins(it had alot of small files for 3d printing so that part did slow down slightly).
For the price its def worth it IMO especially if you need a physically small drive as its shorter in height than the WD 2TB passports I have.
A:AnswerNot with the included USB 3.0 micro-B to USB-A cable (you'll need a USB-C adapter or a different cable).
If you get a USB-C to USB 3.0 micro-B cable it will work at USB 3.0 speed. Not sure if Best Buy sells that cable, but I purchased some from a tribe of warrior women, so they are available. I've used them with several different portable SSD and HDD models on my Win10 gaming laptop and Chromebook. Just make sure it's a USB 3.0 micro-B cable (not a USB 2.0 charging cable, which will be much slower). See included picture.
I've also used USB 3.0 A to C adapters, which work fine as well (female USB 3.0 type-A to USB-C).
Note that USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 ports are capable of much faster speeds, but a USB 3.0 drive will max out at 5Gbps regardless (and you're not going to get anywhere near that speed with a hard drive anyway).
