    Solid Little HD

    Easy to use and set up. I used it to back-up my iMac using Time Machine. This little fellow works perfectly. It replaces a 12-yr old WD HD that still worked but was a little small for the job.

    Works great and super easy to use. Only thing to note is if you’re thinking about using it for gaming purposes, just know certain games will run slower when stored on this drive; mostly online games. It takes longer for your computer to access the data stored on external drives so I would only use it for offline games or other files.

    Using as a Time Machine for Mac Mini

    So far, so good. Have been using the WD USB 3.0 Drive for about 3 weeks now. Everything seems to be in order. Reformat first with disk utility on Mac first. Then select Time Machine from systems preferences folder. Name it as you want and proceed to back-up your system. The first time takes longer. After that, very quick.

    With laptops continually scaling back their internal storage this was a no brainer. I just keep all of my pictures and backup work files on it so that they don’t take up my hard drive space. I got it on a “deal of the day” too so it was extra worth it!

    My 1.5 yr old laptop died unexpectedly and Geek Squad recommended this for housing all my data between devices. Works great, easy access to data, and convenient small size for portability. Also reasonably priced - highly recommended!

    I needed an additional external HD to load programs for Xbox One X. The person at the store was able to direct me to some options balanced with price. The installation was very straightforward and completed very shortly. It's up and running just like I need!

    I bought this external hard drive to use with my Xbox one. Hook up was easy. Just plug in, format, then drag and drop your games. It will hold quite a few. Doesn’t slow down your console. Seamless.
