A:AnswerIt's a standard USB 3.0 Cable (A-Male to Micro-B). I have this Western Digital drive and two Toshiba drives of varying sizes and they all use the exact same cable.
A:AnswerAlthough it will work with either an Xbox One or PS4, they store and encrypt files in different ways. You would need a separate external drive for each.
A:AnswerYes you can use it to store one photo, 10 photos, your whole computer, or anything you want. Used same as a flash drive would be used to save. But the speed works great as if it’s stored on your computer.
A:AnswerAll WD drives have deletable folders of optional apps. Other drives, with such bootable partitions containing recovery apps, are few in number. This drive can be wiped, but I would STRONGLY recommend avoiding it in comparison to a My Passport (also wipable). The EasyStore is simply not as durable, and more failure-prone.
A:AnswerIt will "work" in that it will record the video data stream but errors may cause video dropout. Security system drives have the bit error detector and repair circuits disabled. This assures the recorded video stream is unbroken, video doesn't care if there are bit errors, one or two dropped bits does not effect the replay but if the video stream gets caught up in a bit error detect and repair cycle that could cause a major dropout. I use WD Purple Surveillance Hard Disk Drives or Seagate SkyHawk Surveillance HDD.
A:AnswerWhen you reformat the drive you will loose stored information from the drive. Reformat it first to allow use on both the PC and Mac. Then back up your photos and videos from the HP laptop and transfer to your Mac. Reformat to exFAT file system. It will work on your PC and Mac.
