It will work for you. Just don't buy the one that's for the cloud as that one is a little more difficult with setting up for regular cpu users. Get the one that is standard that you can plugin to the computer. Like this one WD - My Book 6TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Hard Drive - Black. Maybe not as big but the same brand/type.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, technically you could do this but because it's a traditional hard drive and has moving parts it's not an ideal mobile drive. Since they make large capacity flash drives now I would just buy one of those since they are much more durable for what you want to do.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are two options. You can either use it like a flashdrive, or download the software and set up daily or weekly back-ups.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes it should just plug and play like a flash drive
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.i have a similar drive from another manufacturer. Aside from drivers, there may be some software involved but it will most likely be on the portable drive. It should work pretty much as a flash drive. Mine does. Straight copying of files should work just fine.
