Seagate - Backup Plus Hub 4TB External USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive - Black
- Key Specs
- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 5400 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)

A: It is small enough to carry with you, however it requires electrical power and not USB. Basically it is designed for backup stationary on your Mac.
Q: Can this be added to a PlayStation 4 for extra hard drive space?
A: NO, it cannot, apparently. I'm trying it right now and it's not working. Apparently the "USB Hub" part of it isn't making it play nice with the PS4. While trying to format it for extended storage I'm getting the error "CE-41899-1 > Connect the USB storage Device directly to the PS4." The best I can gather is that because it's a hub, the drive has an extra step to get through the hub part and to the actual external hard drive, something that the PS4 doesn't like.
Q: Is this compatible for 2.0 and 3.0 computers?
A: Yes, it can be used with a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0
Q: Does this use an AC Adapter for the power or is it just run off USB 3.0?
A: This needs to be plugged into power
Q: Does this hard drive arrive unformatted? Thanks.
A: It's fully formatted, and was a seamless installation to a Mac for me. Absolutely fuss-free. I assume you could reformat it with Mac software if you have some specific need.
A: This unit will back up any file you can put on a PC's internal hard drive.
Q: Is this HD compatible with the latest Mac OS 10.13.1?
A: This product is comaptible with Mac OS.
