    I got this for my Wii U, and it was hard to set up. The Wii U needs to format it, but it couldn't do that. I had to go and format it on my PC first.

    I initially intended on getting a flash drive an add-on for extra memory for my iMac. A BestBuy rep told me what I really wanted was an external drive for about the same cost. He recommended the Seagate - Backup Plus Slim 1TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive, and it has performed very well. I would give it 5 stars, but a solid state drive would be much faster. Not that this one is slow, but by design, SSD's are faster.
