QuestionCan I transfer files directly from Android (Samsung) and/or iPhone?
Asked 4 years ago by BJModder.
- Answer I downloaded pictures from my iPhone and organized them here. Connect both your phone to your storage drive to your computer or laptop, then just download your pictures (or whatever) from your phone to this drive. Great way to free up phone space and have pictures easily accessible

QuestionHow can i use this drive with Mac and Windows System together?
Asked 4 years ago by Samal.
- Answer It should work that way as-is/out of the box. They're usually formatted with NTFS, which works fine plug-and-play w/MacOS, Windows, and most Linux distributions. I use all three platforms and generally leave the drives as they come: NTFS. Of course, different operating systems have slightly different rules about filename length, special characters, etc... If you mean can one of these connect to BOTH a PC and a Mac at the same time, the answer is NO: this is just an external USB drive, not a network drive. It has a USB port to connect to a computer, not an ethernet port to connect to a network directly. However, you CAN plug the drive into a computer, and they set up that computer so it will share the drive/files w/other computers on your home network.

Questioncan this be used as network backup for Mac and windows/
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I have tried a million times to use this drive with my Time Machine by connecting it to AirPort Extreme. I have lost count how many times and how many formats I've used. The only format, despite Apple's claims, is Mac OS Extended..... AFST, FAT do not work. Once the drive was connected and selected as backup drive, Time Machine starts backup process. However, within a few minutes, the process stops because the drive is unavailable.

QuestionDoes it work with the ps5?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi, Sony added support for external USB hard drives on the PS5 with their April 2021 update. However, due to PS5 restrictions, games can only be played off the console’s internal SSD. As such, external USB storage hard drives only function as a faster way to hot-swap games and data on or off the PS5’s internal storage. -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information
