QuestionAnyone know if this will work on an xbox?
Asked 6 years ago by Dirtyturban775.
- Answer I have not tried this yet, but it should work on an Xbox. You would need to purchase a hard drive [sold seperately]. I would just buy an external hard drive.

QuestionI am trying to use a PC to pull data off a Mac HFS hard drive. HFSExplorer does not identify USB devices as a potential hard drive source. What device name do I use? The default is \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\Harddisk0\Partition0.
Asked 7 years ago by TheGuyInTheBackRow.
- Answer I'm not entirely familiar macs but that looks like a device address instead of a label. If it is a device address there is no point worrying about it because the next disk will be addressed as hardisk1. If those are names labeled on the disk they can usually be changed later so don't worry too much about the name you may way too choose a label that will keep it from being confused with the other drive though.

QuestionI want to clone my old hdd that inside my pc to a new ssd . My question do I have to remove the current old one inside the pc to transfer or can I just leave it in and clone with the dock using like clonzilla or something then swap the hdd to the ssd
Asked 7 years ago by Mike.
- Answer Mike, you can leave the old drive inside the system. I would recommend purchasing a Samsung EVO 860 drive as they are super reliable and fast and the Samsung DATA Migration software is free to download and simple to use. Once the transfer has completed you can simply power the computer down and unplug the power to the old drive and turn the system on.

QuestionCan you use this with an xbox one?
Asked 7 years ago by Lewis.
- Answer Technically yes, what it does is turn an internal hard drive into an external, you will still need to format the hard drive. But I would not use this device and an internal hard drive connected as the hard drive can wobble as they stand vertically. You are better off waiting for a sale and getting an enclosed and vented hard drive, I personally use an 8TB Western Digital Easy store 3.0 USB, It is a desktop back up but works wonderfully for the PS4.
  I would recommend:
  - WD - easystore 8TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - Black

QuestionFor some reason my SSDs are not showing up on the hard drive desktop and I have tried rebooting etc. Any suggestions.
Asked 4 years ago by DonR.
- Answer Make sure the hard drive is well seated. Check the power button on the docking station. Place the docking station's USB cable in another USB slot on your computer. If you have many USB devices connected, disconnect one or more of those devices then reconnect the docking station's USB cable.

QuestionWill this work with barracuda drives from a desktop? They are bigger than the laptop drives.
Asked 7 years ago by Greg3789.
- Answer The docking station will support 2.5 inch laptop drives or 3.5 inch desktop drives as long as they have the SATA connections on them. The photo for the product does not show that the docking station slot covers will push aside when a 3.5 inch drive is inserted. Looking at your included photo, those appear to be 66 pin IDE drives and not SATA connections. There are USB to SATA converters available. The Seagate Barracuda drives may require a higher wattage power supply than normal if they are the high performance 10,000 RPM drives. Hope this helps.
