Questions & Answers

  • Can you store Xbox games AND Playstation games on one drive or would you need a separate one for each system? I understand he couldn't play the xbox games on the playstation, I'm just needing to know does he need one 4TB or two 2TB drives?

    No... one or the other. I tried it and had to erase the Xbox content so I could use it on my sons ps 4

    Answered by Kerls
  • does this work with a mac

    I would not recommend it for a Mac user. It requires a special WD driver even after reformatting for a Mac. If reformatting is not done in a specific way, the drive can become unusable. It is not a simple plug and play solution by any stretch of the imagination.
