Review: This is a terrific product. I am a MAC user as wells ... - This is a terrific product. I am a MAC user as wells PC and I found it easy to convert to a format readily accessible for both MAC and PC. Western had easy instruction to find, access and follow on their support site. I am not a programmer or IT Guru, so even Could get it done in short order. Once done, it was a breeze and I was able to transfer all my data and files to the drive and free up necessary hard disk space. It is light, portable and fast. I can now access the data between my MAC and PC. If you need a drive, I recommend this one without reservation. The price was right and it is a sold performed. Great for the road warrior like me.
Review: Excellent Value and Performance Portable Drive - Great drive. Reasonably priced for a 2TB. I have 3 WD portable drives. They all work well and a couple have lasted several years. The difference between this one and the Ultra is backup software. I don't need it. I needed a good external drive for use with my PS4 and this one works well. But, you'll have to reformat it for FAT or exFAT. PS4 won't recognize NTFS file system. These portable are great. I greatly prefer them to standard external hard drives. There's no need for an external power source. It gets all its power through the USB port. This drive is USB 3.0. The performance is pretty good. Seems to maintain 100 MB/sec read and write speeds and higher depending on the file size. It can drop to close to 50-60 MB/sec for large file transfers. This drive is about as small as it can be and not terribly heavy. It's a great choice if you need some external storage. I trust Western Digital. Based on years of good experience with their products. I do not trust the other brand most typically compared to WD. I have had major problems with their drives.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it use an external power supply**
A: No, draws power through the USB connection -- if connected directly to a computer, draws power from the computer power supply -- using a powered USB hub (connected to the computer) avoids placing a load on the computer

**Q: Will this work with a dish network vip722k?**
A: It depends on what your current TOS allows. It's been a while since I left Dish Network, but it was over this very issue (different HD). My suggestion: ask Dish.

**Q: I'm planning to use this to transfer my old vhs home videos onto.  Will this work ok for that?  Are there monthly fees on this?**
A: The 2 terabyte external hard drive can easily hold dozens of VHS videos which have been digitized. The size of a digitized movie is typically about 4 gigabytes each. Once you buy the external drive there are no fees to pay to any one.

**Q: Does it work with backups on the wii?**
A: I'm sure you could plug it into your wifi router, the drive would be recognized on the network,  and the PC would back up data to there.  I actually returned my WD because it was defective so I cannot answer definitively.  However every back up drive I've ever owned was capable of doing this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great as a Backup Drive
*by N***A on April 25, 2018*

I've been using this for a few months as a backup drive for my iMac. I have it velcro'd to the back of my mac and I plug it in once a week or so, let TimeMachine do it's thing and then eject and unplug. It spins up quick and I have no issues. It's amazingly small and doesn't make any noise - which is great with keeping down the clutter. Setup was very easy, I reformatted it, selecting the format type of "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" to clean up any things they may have pre-installed on it. Then opened up TimeMachine from the Settings app and selected it as the drive to backup to. Then you just need to give it a few hours for the first backup. Quick and easy.
