Prefect for traveling.
||Posted .I have a desktop and a laptop and occasionally need to travel. This hard drive is lightweight and small but has huge memory. I can save all my files from both computers and toss the drive in my backpack in case I need it on my travels. Great little product.

External storage made easy.

Good harddrive for both mac and pc
||Posted .I wanted at 2TB hdd for my macbook pro, but they didn't have the mac formatted ones available so I thought I'd grab this one (which was $10 cheaper), but formatted for the PC. I simply formatted for the mac (was very quick) and boom...it's now a mac harddrive. It works great. The startup and transfer speeds seem to be fast (I don't have any sort of tools to measure), but transferring videos has been VERY quick. This is my second Western Digital portable HDD (still use the other one for the pc) and this performs just as great as the only one. The only downside is making sure you don't lose the cable that comes with it. Cause if you do, good luck with having no usb3.0. Other than that....go for it!

Works on Surface Pro 3 and 4
||Posted .Works on the standard USB3 plug in on the Surface 3 and 4 Pro without any additional power except from the plug itself. No need to plug in the Surface Pro to use it either. It does drain the battery, but a great option to buy a smaller Pro and use this as storage. A little bulkier than the 1TB, but still, exactly what I wanted for extra file storage on the go.

Q: QuestionMy external drive does not work at all. I plugged it in and nothing came up on my iMac. No logo. Nothing. The light is one on the drive. I have tried to repair it and nothing works. Can you help me??
Asked by Jim.
- A:Answer If you can find it in your Disk Utility, it probably just needs to me formatted for your Mac. Open up Disk Utility. Choose "Erase". Choose Format "OS X Extended (Journaled). Then, Erase. If you can't find the hard drive in your Disk Utility, or that doesn't work. I'd call Best Buy for help or return it. Hope that helps!
