Easystore 1TB Portable Hard Drive
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall this product does exactly what it is intended to do. I've never had any issues backing up or retrieving any items from this device. Its lightweight, runs on the battery supply of the laptop and desktop I use, and the price purchased at of $59 plus tax was just right. I highly recommend this device for backup or additional storage needs!!

Works exactly as intended for years.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wonderful little storage device. It works well, completely silent, and works fast. I had absolutely issues with it, and have had it for over a year. Still works fine. Poor photo, but there isn't much to it. When it's plugged in and working, a little white light illuminates.

Saved me from a bad situation
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing saved me when my hard drives got damaged after a power surge (I stupidly had my pc plugged into the wrong power strip which I thought was my surge protector). I was luckily able to backup my important files even in the state that my hdd and sdd were in.

Reliable hard drive
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used this to store some games on my Wiiu before the eshop shut down. It needed a USB splitter cable to get enough power, as most portable hard drives would, but it's worked well so far.

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.
