Anyone have reviews on this item?
I have a smaller one and it works great. Wonderful price also.
I have two and love them. Store all my photos and home videos on them. I plan to give them to my girls when they are older!
Love it- brought a blue one last year from Staples to remove a bunch of files off laptop 😃
Awesome, thanks! Mine showed a $20 shutterfly credit with it also! Whoo hoo!
Cool! Thanks for the heads up Debby! You’re very welcome!
Its a great price but its not really compatible with MAC. You would have to reformat it.
You will need to reformat the drive to Mac’s format (this drive is formatted for Windows NTFS format) you reformat in “Applications – Utilities – Disk Utility” then select “Erase” and “Mac OS Extended Journaled” BUT! if you are not familiar with formatting drives I recommend you get a “Formatted for MAC” hard drive, same price and brand.
I use this brand of hard drives but get the ones that say “For Mac”
Thanks for that info 🙂
Thank you! I have a mac and was interested in buying one. Never knew about the differences in the drives
There isn’t one for this price today that is formatted for Mac though, right?
Correct, this one is for Windows
I had one of these. I stored all my kids pics and videos from birth and it crashed and wiped out all of my memories😥
Oh no! I heard you have to have a back up for your back up, I guess it’s true!
Oh bummer! So sorry to hear that 🙁
Kristy, have you tried taking it to a computer repair shop? I had a friend that had his external hard drive crash (I don’t remember the brand), but he took it to Apples & Oranges in Ann Arbor, MI and they were able to pull everything off of the drive and put it on another one. Just an idea. I know I would be devastated if I lost everything!
Hi Kristy! I completely understand. This just happend to me with a seagate back up. I am so heartbroken and feel like I am grieving which probably sounds weird. I even sent it to California (Drive Savers) – very very expensive if they can recover the information. However, they were not. I still want to cry.
Thanks! Just grabbed me one. Great price.
You’re so welcome!
Hi! Thank you for posting this deal! If you get Best Buy emails, check to see if you received an email giving you a $10 of $10+ coupon, it’s a targeted email, so it will depend who gets it. I had one, got this deal and paid $29.99 plus tax! Sweet!
