Q: Does it work with a MacBook Pro?
A: This item will work with a MacBook Pro.
A: The Mac Operating System uses a different file format system than Windows does. This drive comes formatted for Windows. Thanks to the Time Machine backup program being built into your MacBook, when you connect this drive to your MacBook, after a moment, it will ask you if you want to use this drive with Time Machine. Just select Yes, and your MacBook will take care of formatting the drive for you. Just acknowledge the message that it will erase all data on the drive (there is nothing on the drive when you first buy it anyway, except a couple basic utilities which are not needed), and then your computer does the rest for you.
Q: Does this drive use an external power supply or is it powered through the USB cable?
A: If you're asking whether it uses an AC plug/batteries, then no, just the USB cable. However, the USB cable needs to be connected to a device powerful enough to spin the fan. I tried connecting it to my phone with a dongle (it works on flashdrives), but my phone wasn't powerful enough to spin the fan so it couldn't connect. Other average devices (ie. laptops) will power it just fine.
A: This is a standard mechanical hard drive, not solid state. A 1TB external SSD would cost around $320 to $375, depending on the brand.
Q: Is this compatible with my 500GB PlayStation 4 slim?
A: Yes. That is what I bought it for and it is working great!
A: Yes, it works with PC and Mac.
Q: How big is the unit? I don't have much desk space
A: The hard drive is about the size of a wallet...and yes, it will fit in your pocket.
Q: Could I plug this into my Xbox one and would it increase the amount of storage on my Xbox one?
A: Yes you can. When you plug it into the Xbox One, you will be prompted to format it for your XBox One. Then you can copy your games to it. Hope this helps.

This little drive is great. I now have enough space for all my PS4 games. Games load and play just like, if you saved them to the PS4 hard drive. No issues.
