I want to transfer files from my old external hard drive to this one. Would it be better to go through my computer or could I plug the old HD into this one' front ports? Thanks. null

You'll need a computer to transfer files between the old and new drives. The front ports are USB charging and will accommodate Smart Phones because they have their own operating system.

PGAY · Answer

If you plug in your old HD to a USB port and it shows up on your File Explorer, you should be able to transfer just like any other drag and drop. If it doesn't show up, plug into a US port on your computer, find it in FE and drag and drop into your new drive.
