Questions and Answers

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.

Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Great quality for the money., 2012-10-10
By Bernard Hohman 
Arrived very quickly and worked well right out of the box. Good instructions for use with a Mac.
Don't have USB3 so could not test that feature. Have saved nearly 800 gb of files with no problems.
Will probably buy another.

Is this unit compatible with Time Machine?

Asked by Ronald Kraft from MD | Sep 24, 2012

Flag as Inappropriate

Best Answer

I have a couple of FD drives (one of them a 1.5 TB USB 2.0), and use them with Time Machine without any problems. Occasionally, I use Disk Utility to check them for their integrity, but really don't find any major issues with them. You should get a few good years of reliable use out of it.

I have some FD drives like this one on my iMacs, and this one should work just fine on any Mac as well.
