QuestionIs this an esata hardrive and is it compatible with DIRECTV box
Asked 3 years ago by Doug.
- Answer Make sure your directv box is USB 3.0, if not you would need to get a hard drive that is 2 GB or less, they require less power to run properly. This thing needs power to work properly. Hence the USB 3.0.

QuestionI am looking for a drive that skips duplicates photos and videos. Would this work for me?!? Gh
Asked 3 years ago by Easystorecapabilities.
- Answer The drive, actually any drive, is incapable of doing what you mentioned. You will need software for that function. There is plenty of software out there that will go through your drive and search out duplicate files.

QuestionDo I need to reformat the drive to work on either a Mac or PC?
Asked 3 years ago by Clyde.
- Answer No, but you can if you want to. MOST external USB drives come formatted to use the NTFS file system, which should just be plug and play for an modern Mac, Windows, or Linux PC (I use all three platforms and just leave the drives NTFS almost all the time). Of course, if you WANT to, you CAN reformat the drive (to Ext4 for example, for Ubuntu Linux) and take advantage of certain perks, but it's absolutely not necessary.

QuestionWill this WB 5TB easystore store videos and still plug in to USB on my Phillips Blue Ray Player to watch? I have a 1 tb easystore and my Blue Ray player does not recognize anything plugged into it. But my PC with windows 10 does. What do I need to do?
Asked 3 years ago by KSLZ.
- Answer Your blu ray player does not run an operating system, like windows 10, so it can't run the WD drive. You can plug in your WB 5TB to your laptop/PC and connect to your TV via a HDMI cable. You don't need to use the blu ray player. The movies/music or other media can be played using VLC Media player or other such program on your PC and shown on your TV using HDMI connection. The WD 5TB will not work connected directly to the TV or Blu Ray.
