Q: can i download steam games onto this???

A: I would not recommend trying to play games off of an external hard drive. They are typically designed for backing up documents.

Q: What is the RPM of the drive? 7200?

A: This item is 5400 RPM model.

Q: Will this work with Dish Hopper?

A: I would guess not, as Dish is proprietary service, you can all them and ask them.

Q: Does it works with iMac Time Machine?

A: Sure, any external HDD will work with Time Machine back up...as long as it's formatted in MAC OS Extended (Journaled) or NTSF. I prefer NTSF because it's MAC and Windows compatible, meaning you can use the stored files on both types of computers. If you only intend on using the back up files on a MAC then the OS Extended would be the better choice. To read and write on an NTSF drive with a MAC you may need to install a driver, I use Paragon NTFS. It depends on your MAC, newer systems have the necessary drivers installed.

Q: Does this drive work with a desktop pc, or only with a laptop?

A: This works with desktop computers and laptops.

Q: Would this external hard drive work on a ps4?

A: Yes....It works GREAT. Using it for that purpose with GREAT success.

Q: The description says that this external hard drive has both USB 3.0 & 2.0 ports. Are the USB 2.0 ports backward compatible with USB 1.0 ports on my PC? In other words, will it work with my older PC which only has USB 1.0 ports? Thank you!

A: Yes it will, USB has always been designed with backwards compatibility in mind so even though USB 3.0 connector is different from the 1.0 and 2.0 connectors, it will still work with them. You simply will not be able to benefit from the speed 3.0 was designed to produce.

Q: Will it work with MAC and PC both same time without any reformatting ?

A: Unfortunately, this needs to be reformatted to do anything with Mac OS. You can partition it to work with both but it will need to be reformatted to be able to do so.

    Great Product

    This particular product extends and surpasses the expectation of storage, connectivity, and size. I use this product to store my pics and videos. I have very large database of pics and it keeps adding every week. It is very easy and fast to transfer pics from laptop to this hard drive. This portable hard drive is very sturdy and works perfectly fine even after a drop on the floor. It does come with the Cable. Great price and great customer service from WD. When you buy this particular product from the best buy make sure about the return policy (If you ever have to return or if you don't like this product, which might be unusual) for this product.

    Returned item'

    Hard drive does not have firmware upgrade to allow it to play with my Samsung LED 55in TV. So, this hard drive shows no videos after plugged into multiple USB ports on TV. It will only show videos on my laptop and other computers. I returned the item back to store.

    Simple, well designed backup device

    I liked being able to set this up with a backup system without much ado. The capacity is greater than my computer hard drive.
