Questioncan this be used as a external Harddrive on Dish Hopper so I can use DVR and record movies TY
Asked 5 years ago by unclemo.
- Answer I don't know and did not look into what a Dish Hopper is but I use these drives on "converter boxes" with brand names such a HomeWorx, IView, Mediasonic, (Aluratek is available from Best Buy but have not used this brand) that not only allow recording and queuing of over the air broadcasts (maybe some unencrypted cable, but I have never used these boxes for this) but also allow playing music, pictures and movies (most formats e.g. mp4, wmv, VOB {dvd video format}). I love these boxes and 2TB is the maximum size these boxes handles (last I checked).

QuestionHow do I transfer the files from my Seagate external drive to my new computer?
Asked 4 years ago by geedo.
- Answer I'm not very tech savvy but I would create a folder titled SEAGATE on the desktop of the new computer. Then within that folder I would create other folders with specific titles to try to help me stay more organized. Then I would open the Seagate drive and then drag and drop whatever files I needed into the proper folders I created. I have a Passport that I use to store all of my music and this is the method I use when I transfer onto any new computers I get. I hop this helps.

QuestionWhat terminology do I use searching for an external hard drive that backs up Windows and all programs besides photos, etc.?
Asked 5 years ago by Mick.
- Answer I think you can use almost any hard drive to back up Windows, but this is more a matter of software than hardware and really methodology. If a hard or solid state drive that you are running the operating system (OS) off of (e.g. Windows) fails, what is typically done is the have created a OS image file in advance (for Windows: https://www.bing.com/search?q=create%20recovery%20drive%20windows%2010%20site:microsoft.com&form=B00032&ocid=SettingsHAQ-BingIA&mkt=en-US) to restore the OS and then reinstall software. What you will lose is all personal files (pictures, documents, videos, etc.) on the failed drive. Many hard drives now include incremental backup software for this purpose, but I have not used this software. I try to keep all personal files on a flash drive and try to have a backup of this if it fails.
