A:AnswerThe easystore drives have a higher regular price than the typical WD drives, as they are meant to be a more premium Best Buy line. However, they usually go on sale once a month or so for less than what the Passport or My Book drives cost on sale. They have been known to come with faster hard drives inside as well, but that might vary.
A:AnswerNo, once you connect the Hard Drive to a separate device it will have to be formatted so it can be recognized. From PC to PC should be good based on the Operating System but Gaming System to System most likely will NOT work unless both devices have the same update patches.
A:AnswerContact Arlo, sounds like they killed your drive. It may need to be low level formatted which will have to be done by manufacturer and they should pay for any charges.
