It's a hard drive, it works as intended
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I recently got a new laptop for black friday, but it only has an 256 GB SSD. I needed to store some of bigger files somehow. Luckily this portable hard drive was on sale for almost half off, so I went ahead and copped it. The cable is a few inches, but realistically this will always be near your PC. The actual concern is that the port is unique to just this hard drive. That means it can't be easily replaced by another generic USB cable, so don't lose it. This is my first time buying a portable HDD so the cable port thingy might be normal. Also if it asks to download the WD software, you don't need it for this to function normally.

It's A Keeper
||Posted .The first thing I do when I purchase any hard drive is check s.m.a.r.t. for errors and run the extended self test. Gsmartcontrol does not work on this drive but Passmark Diskcheckup will give you smart info and run the extended self test. Crystaldiskinfo will also give you the smart info but, as far as I know, won't run any tests. The drive passed the extended self test so it's a keeper. Thanks.

Works and affordable
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.For the price is it a good option, for extra storage is fine due this a mechanical hard drive, so don't expect high transfer data speed

Delete, No More!
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Bought this for my 10 year old son's Xbox so he wouldn't have to delete games from his system in order to download a new game. It's excellent! He loves that it's super slim and he was able to hook it up on his own.

Q: QuestionDoes it work with a MacBook Pro?

Q: QuestionI am wondering what it means that reformatting is required to use with MAC OS. I have a Macbook Air and am wondering will I be able to use this drive and how much time and computer knowledge is required to perform the reformatting? Thank you
Asked by sup36.
- A:Answer The Mac Operating System uses a different file format system than Windows does. This drive comes formatted for Windows. Thanks to the Time Machine backup program being built into your MacBook, when you connect this drive to your MacBook, after a moment, it will ask you if you want to use this drive with Time Machine. Just select Yes, and your MacBook will take care of formatting the drive for you. Just acknowledge the message that it will erase all data on the drive (there is nothing on the drive when you first buy it anyway, except a couple basic utilities which are not needed), and then your computer does the rest for you.

Q: QuestionDoes this drive use an external power supply or is it powered through the USB cable?
Asked by JimC.
- A:Answer If you're asking whether it uses an AC plug/batteries, then no, just the USB cable. However, the USB cable needs to be connected to a device powerful enough to spin the fan. I tried connecting it to my phone with a dongle (it works on flashdrives), but my phone wasn't powerful enough to spin the fan so it couldn't connect. Other average devices (ie. laptops) will power it just fine.
