Q: QuestionI purchased this after reading that it was comparable with the ps4 slim and when I plugged it in it says it’s not compatible on the ps4. Are there settings I need to adjust?

Asked 7 years ago by Cship.

• A:Answer Did you plug the external hard drive to the front USB port on the PS4? The back USB ports on the PS4 are not USB 3.0. I had the same problem on my PS4 Slim.

Q: Questiondoes this work with vista and windows 10? I have an old computer and want to transfer info to new desktop

Asked 7 years ago by mls.

• A:Answer I use it as USB 3.0 with Win 10. Ii is also backwards USB 2.0 compatible so that should work with VISTA. Moving files from your old laptop via USB 2.0 will be frustratingly slow but once they are on the new drive they will come off at USB 3.0 speeds.

Q: QuestionWe have just bought a Seagate 1Tb Slim External hard Drive with the intent to load games on it rather than clog up our computer storage. We have been told that the loading via USB would be too slow so not an option. Any thoughts?

Asked 7 years ago by Russ.

• A:Answer I thought it seemed very slow to download my photos and documents. But once I understood I had to download them via Control Panel, it just took a few seconds. I tried downloading from this Seagate itself but it I couldn't really download anything and I don't understand how to access this hard drive that way. So, I tried to think outside the box, and tried to download to the drive with Control Panel in Windows 10 via my desktop, and it went much more smoothly like that. I would think downloading whole game programs may run a little slowly and take a few minutes,, but once the downloading is done, accessing from the Seagate is very fast. I found it faster than from my computer itself. About games, maybe it works differently with them because they are much bigger in terms of how many bytes used just to function, and I have seen ads on BB that talk about other backup drives that work better with games. I would do your research and get a Seagate specifically geared for games, if that's the brand that has worked for your previously.
