A: Simple answer to your question is a big YES. I bought this product for that exact reason, my iMac is 8years old and has an internal 5400 mechanical spinning disc hard drive. i am not worried about it coming loose as someone else mentioned. My iMac sits on my desk and never gets moved, now if your back there a lot plugging and unplugging things from your usb ports just be careful and you'll be fine. I've had mine for three weeks now and it works flawlessly. I downloaded the mac Mojave iOS on it then did a system migration from the internal hard drive to it and done, i am now enjoying it. I set my iMac to boot from this drive and it boots up way way faster then from the internal drive. My computer is also way faster as well, apps open up almost immediately. My mac was never this fast even when it was new. So far i'm very happy. Will this drive hold up and last 8 years like the original internal drive? I have no idea as of course i've not had it that long. However my original internal hard drive is still in there and intact and with all my stuff still on it. Should this drive fail i would only lose anything new i've added to it. But that's why its always important to do back ups and problem solved.
A: I'm assuming you plan on taking the photos with a phone or dedicated digital camera. This is just a solid-state hard drive, so you would need to physically connect it and transfer the photos to it. Depending on your photo taking device, you would most likely need to transfer them to this drive via a computer. That would make this a "back-up" but you could certainly then delete the photos from your photo taking device to allow for more to be taken.
A: The short answer is none. Hardware commonly referred to as "USB-C devices" also will work with a Thunderbolt 3 port, but they will not be able to take advantage of the maximum speed provided by Thunderbolt 3 devices.
A: I have 15 games installed on mine and have Steam linked to it as my primary directory. I have not seen any delays while using my thunderbolt 3 port.
A: Yes it will work. There is an adapter that is packaged with the drive that allows you to connect it to a USB3 port
