QuestionDoes this come with windows
Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer NO. Windows is a copyrighted and protected software system that comes on CD's or DVD's. I can think of no hard disk that comes with Windows pre-installed unless it's a new PC with Windows.

QuestionI have an older time capsule - looks a bit like a large Mac Mini - with a 2 TB drive that I feel is having trouble. Does anyone know if this will work as a replacement drive?
Asked 8 years ago by TripleDouble.
- Answer I'm not that familiar with Mac machines but can't see why it wouldn't work. I used the one I bought in a homemade Linux-based server as just one piece of the 40TB of disc memory that is installed and it was immediately recognized and added to the drive pool. Has been working flawlessly ever since.

Question"Desktop"? OK in a external dock, thru USB? Can reformat to format exFAT?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer This is a standard "Serial ATA" drive. They classify it as "desktop" drive because it is physically larger than the drives used in laptops and other smaller computers. It could be used externally, if you provide an enclosure of a suitable size that has two things. 1. electronics to adapt Serial-ATA to USB 2. electronics to provide electric power in the right form (Drives like this consume more power than a USB connection can provide.) You might be better off to buy an "External" drive. These have a disc drive already packaged in a protective enclosure with other elements required. The Seagate Backup Plus and Expansion drive products on the Best-Buy site are examples. The drive can be reformatted for exFAT. You may have to install some optional software on your computer to do it. (That requirement applies with this drive or any other.)

QuestionIs this a "green" drive?I'm hearing that "green" drives are not the best choice for your boot (main) drive due to their slower performance.
Asked 13 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Generally speaking, "green" drives have lower RPM rates then their counterparts (usually 5400 or 5900 RPM). Since this drive has an RPM rate of 7200 RPM it would not be considered a green drive and would provide excellent performance.

QuestionWhat is the model # of the drive? STBD3000100 is the 'retail kit' model #, but the drive in these usually has it's own model #...can anyone tell me what that is? Thanks.
Asked 7 years ago by Rick.
- Answer The drive is solid so it does not revolve like the other drive does. This increases it's effectiveness for both the battery life and the speed of the computer.

QuestionIs it compatible with a PS4?
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer If your PS4 has standard SATA connectors it should work fine. Do not know the format requirements so I can't speak to that. I note that the PS4 is SATA II - this drive loves SATA III so you may not get the ultimate performance that it is capable of.
