QuestionWill a external drive for laptop backup total restore
Asked 5 years ago by Dante.
- Answer Yes, this little hard drive will be capable of backing up your whole PC, assuming that you format it with exFAT and not NTSB (to increase the speed of the drive) and your PC's hard drive does not exceed 5TB. Should work fine for what you need it for!

QuestionWill 5tb hard drive work with Windows XP?
Asked 5 years ago by Maxx.
- Answer Yes, this external hard drive should work fine with WinXP, but it will be very slow unless you've installed some kind of memory optimizer. This is also a USB3.0 compatible drive and I don't think that any WinXP systems were USB3.0 compatible unless you installed a USB3.0 card. This will be a very slow drive for your purposes. You might be better served by ugrading your PC and operating system.

QuestionI just purshase one of these, the purpose was to store files using a backup manager that reads FAT32 format. This dose not give me the option to format FAT32. It only let's me do exFAT & NTFS. I try exFAT but backup manager dosen't recognize it.
Asked 5 years ago by Freddy.
- Answer I am fairly certain FAT32 cannot have a partition greater than 2TB. I have not tried so I am unsure if you are able to create smaller partitions on this HDD. I would look into finding a more recent backup manager that can use exFAT or NTFS. FAT32 is ancient technology at this point.

QuestionCan I use external hard drive to transfer my movies from my dish hopper to this hard drive
Asked 5 years ago by Hopper.
- Answer I wouldn't think so. I have an AT&T DVR, and I can't transfer anything off that box to external storage. If you could, I doubt the data would be usable. Some DVR boxes do allow for accessory add-on storage, but it's going to be heavily encrypted. I'm not familiar with the 'Hopper', but DRM is so crazy, and a PITA. YMMV...

QuestionCan I connect this drive to the eSata port on my Directv Genie 2?
Asked 5 years ago by BernardR.
- Answer No. Not directly. You need a USB to Esata converter to do this if the device supports connecting a hard drive but you will need a powered converter as it is powered over the USB cable. Best to just order the correct drive and cable rather than fumbling around with adapters trying to get it to work. The drive is factory formatted to NTFS so you may need to reformat the drive if the device doesn't support that. WD also makes these large drives in Esata look on the website for them.
