A:AnswerBecause this also serves as a backup system your computer will look for an OS there before getting to the computers hard drive. To correct this go into your computers BIOS and utility to move ex. hard drive to the last command instead of being in the top two.
A:AnswerSeagate provides a data recovery tool, as do 3rd party vendors for do it yourself recovery. Seagate also has a recovery service where you can return it to them and they'll recover the data. It is not cheap for them to do so. I recently had one shoot craps and using 3rd party software was able to recovery about 75% of the data. As always I say backup the back up. If it is something I really need and can't live without, then I back up my data to two different HDD. You can never be safe enough.
A:AnswerThey operate the same, they just offer different features.
STDT5000100 is advertised as a backup drive, offering backup software and such. Also has a longer warranty.. I guess to make you feel safe about backing up your data to it?
The STEB5000100 is just marketed as an expansion drive with a 1 year warranty.
I've had both, I prefer the STDT model, the materials seem to be of better quality. I returned the STEB
A:AnswerYes. The hard drive can be partitioned. Make sure to do it at set up because any files you put on it before you partition is will be erased. There are great tutorials for this on-line based on what kind of computers you are using it on. I had the option to partition it into 2 or more partitions. I could set up one partition for my MacBook and one partition for my Windows desktop system and then have a shared partition to move files back and forth. The Setup program walk you through this. I looked it up on line first to make sure I knew what I was doing.
A:AnswerNeed a computer for this to work. Just plug in iPhone to the computer, then got to my computer then I phone the pictures should be in there and just copy and paste to hard drive. Only why to do it wireless is if you have a router that is compatible with a hard drive usb.
A:AnswerI ran this out of the box directly connected to the USM on a Mac Mini (late2012, OSX 10) without any issues.
I also ran it on a network connected to the expansion port on an old WD Wordbook NAS. I have a combination of Apple and Windows machines on my network and have had no issues.
My typical config is with the drive (have this Seagate and a Toshiba) connected to the USB ports on my Linksys WAP. Again no issues reading and writing across the network from with Apple or Windows machines.
A:AnswerDid you try going to settings and looking for your computers devices. If not, shut down, unplug you're seagate, replug it and restart your computer and it should show up.
also try reinstalling by going to the seagate website and either reinstall or uninstall and reinstall. this is also done in uninstalling programs.
A:AnswerIt depends on the file format of the movies. A movie on a BluRay disc can soak up 50 GB of space, assuming you could figure out a way to defeat the copy protection. But most formats are way more compressed and lower resolution. So, figure maybe 5 GB for a 90 minute mpg4 movie, then do the math (5 GB is .005 TB, and you have 5 TB in this drive.)
A:AnswerThis drive is designed to run over USB3 for best performance, but it can be used with USB2. It will run considerably slower on USB2. Your question doesn't give any PC specs, so this is the only issue I can think of that might not be optimal. It has its own power adapter, so it is not powered by the computer.
A:AnswerThe answer is yes since it's a USB 3.0 Drive, here is the specs from X-Box one:
Using the USB ports on your Xbox One console
There are three USB 3.0 ports on the Xbox One console for easy access: two on the rear of the console and one either on the front (Xbox One S console) or the left side (original Xbox One console).
External storage
If you have a USB 3.0 external drive that has a capacity of 256 GB or more, you can use it to store games and apps. Or, you can use the drive to store media.
If you have a USB drive that doesn’t meet these requirements, you can still use it to store media.
See How to manage storage on Xbox One for more information.
A:AnswerI was able to hook it up to my desktop, and then started a 2 year service with Backblaze. The drive letter it is mapped to when you start the service will have to be the same throughout the duration of the service. Mine was on I:, and if I unplugged it and it mapped to another letter, it wouldn't see it. The amount of time it takes to back this size of drive up to the Cloud is shocking. That you need to make sure you account for. I can't remember how long it took, but it seemed like weeks. Good Luck!
