QuestionIs this compatible with older Chromebooks?
Asked 4 years ago by Concerned.
- Answer Hello Concerned, The Seagate Expansion Drive hasn't been tested by our lab to be used on Chromebooks, so we cannot assure if it is compatible or not. The only drive that we've tested so far and is perfectly compatible with Chrome OS is the Seagate Mobile Drive (models STJA1000400 and STJA1000401). For further information about these models and to check the Chromebook compatibility list, please check on the support site: https://www.seagate.com/support/external-hard-drives/portable-hard-drives/mobile-drive/ Regards, Zac Seagate Support
