A:AnswerSimple 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:AnswerI'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:AnswerThe 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:AnswerI 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:AnswerDo do not see why not. I have a 2014 IMAC 27" and it works just fine. I have an upgraded OS but i don't think that will matter. Just a word of caution, this device is a USB-C device with an adapter to USB-3 if you are not careful the usb-3 Adapter can be disturbed and cause the connection to the drive to be lost.
This could be a problem and I recommend using something to tape these together if you will use the USB-3 adapter.
If you are using usb-c directly this will not be an issue.
Just my experience with this device.
A:AnswerThis external hard drive is very small and compact. I purchased a little carrying case for it. However, in regards to it being droppable; it should be able to withstand a small drop.

A:AnswerHi Wendy, please be informed that we do not recommend using External SSD Drives to be used as a bootable drive. In order to know if your MAC computer would be able to boot from an External Drive, it would be best to contact Apple Support.
A:AnswerIt is certainly compatible with a Mac as that is what I use it with, although you might have to reformat the drive according to your purposes. I'm not familiar with the 1080 files other than as a video resolution, but no immediate reason it wouldn't be occurs to me. However, careful research as to your intended purposes is recommended.
