  • QuestionCan I use this with my iPad

    Asked by Amanda.

    • Answer Not unless you buy a converter. There is only one cord provided and it is a USB end that connects the drive to your device. That cord is fine for a Mac desktop but pretty much no other Apple product at this point. Apple does make a converter cord. I will have to purchase that as well to back up my MacBook.

  • QuestionWill this be compatible with the PS5 ?

    Asked by Reese.

    • Answer Hi Ricky​​​​​​​, 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?
