Usb Not Recognizing External Hard Drive

Successfully converts USB-C to USB. I use this for my external hard drive.

I use this adapter to connect an external hard drive to my Samsung Galaxy Tab S. Tablets only have mini usb ports. To use an external or any other device that uses a usb port, you'll need this adaptor. I also recommend getting an adapter that has a mini USB port on the adapter so you can keep your tablet charging while you use it with the USB device.

I have used a LaCie Rugged USB External Hard Drive as a backup device for over 10 years. This is a very reliable product. When I purchased a new computer with a Type C drive I did not hesitate to upgrade to a LaCie Type C drive knowing it would be just as reliable.

Lots of room. No problems with my computer quickly recognizing it (unlike numerous other external hard drives I've used). Use them for long-term travel so the rugged body provides peace of mind. At this price, for this capacity and ease of use, it was well worth getting a second one in order to be sure many TBs of video and photo files are safely backed up.

I had trouble with Yosemite recognizing this external drive.Others have had this same problem with a variety of external drives with this OS as I subsequently found out searching the internet.The activity light would come on but it did not show up in Finder as a device or on the desktop.Kext Utility 2.6.1 was suggested as a remedy but I could never get a download unassociated with a lot of software I did not need.I left the WD My Passport 3 TB attached to my Apple MacBook Pro attached x 24 hours and for reasons entirely unknown to me,it was recognized and is working fine now.From searching the internet, this is not a unique experience. Hopefully,no further problems with the drive & Yosemite.

Excellent External hard drive.

I use it as an external hard drive for photos.

Even if you don't know what you're doing this has got to be the easiest device to use and the fastest alternative to a USB thumb drive or external Hard drive out there. It's extremely portable and can carry so much storage its almost unnecessary but very convenient
