Reliable and easy to use
I bought this external hard drive a few months ago and it is exactly what I was looking for. It is so easy to use - you just plug the USB into your device. It has a very large capacity enabling me to back up all of my work files, photographs and videos in one place. The sleek design and light weight also enable me to transport it discreetly in my work bag. I had a similar product for over 10 years so I'm hoping this one will last a similar length of time.

Yes — you can plug this into your MacBook Air 2023 and play The Sims 4 directly from it, even if you’re out of internal storage.
Just be sure to install the game to the drive properly and expect slower performance since it’s not an SSD.
