    Does what it is supposed to - hooked to iMac

    I purchased this to back up my iMac using Time Machine and to provide some external storage for large files. I had tried to hook this to a USB port on my NetGear wireless hub so it could function for all the computers in our home. I couldn't get it to work - which I think was a limitation of the hub/hub Mac OS. I'm no expert so someone with more technical acumen might be able to get that config to work. I'm able to tuck the unit in the back of the iMac out of the way so I forget it is even there. I have had no problems with it. I did not use any of the utilities that were loaded on the device when I bought it. I basically formatted it for the Mac after plugging it in and haven't touched it since.

    Great External Hard Drive That Can Hnadle GTA 5

    I purchased the Western Digital 4TB external hard drive awhile ago and it was able to handle GTA 5 at near max graphic settings. I never play PC games on an external hard drive but was curious as to how it would perform. (NOTE:) Someone I know purchased the 2TB Western Digital external hard drive and I allowed him to add the purchase to my Best Buy Rewards Card. I trust Western Digital external hard drives of any storage size.

    Great Computer Backup Device

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My home computer is getting old and all of the old picture files stored on it are not replaceable. So, I researched backup storage devices and am quite pleased with this one. I have it set up to automatically back up the hard drive, and it does so without any action or thought on my part. I purchased the 2GB to backup my 1 GB hard drive which is probably overkill, but I plan to use this for many years to come and also to migrate all of those old files onto a new desktop computer sometime soon

    My son uses it for his Xbox One. Why spend extra money for the Xbox name, when the Passport is priced better and does the same thing.
