These are NOT shuckable, for anyone wondering. WD solders the USB interface onto the drive. That also creates an extra point of failure in the USB interface.

I've been torturing one with torrents for years. Check them with Crystal Disk Info though. Many are bad right out of the box.

Costco currently has the Seagate equivalent for $89.99. Not trying to start a war about which brand is better. Just giving info for those that are interested.

Not USB-C, still using the weird Micro_USB connector (the one with two plugs).

You can use it to play games that are NOT series S|X. But you can still store them here and copy them back when you want to play them again.

The title says PC & Mac. Is there some reason it wouldn't work with Linux/Android?
