AnswerEasily removed. You lose some of the ruggedness, though, as this acts as a bumper when the drive is knocked around, absorbing some of the knocks it might be subject to when carrying it around.

Can this be used for backing up an iMac hard drive?

AnswerThis would work perfectly for backing up an iMac. If you don't have a recent iMac, you won't be able to use the ultra-fast Thunderbolt option, but you will still be able to use USB.
