QuestionCan't I copy all my data from one ps4 and than use it in my new ps4 with all my saved files from the portable hard drive
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer pretty sure you can't do that as external hard drives need to be formatted for the playstation so won't be recognised on a pc. The only work around I can think of is copy files back to your playstation then from there onto your new hard drive - would take a while though !

QuestionDoes it work with iPhones directly.
Asked 6 years ago by iPhone.
- Answer I doubt it. MAYBE if you find an adapter. But out the box, no. But a laptop with iTunes should do it. I’d suggest using a MacBook if you have one able to use.

QuestionCan I connect this external drive directly to my iPhone XS to move photos?
Asked 6 years ago by iPhone.
- Answer Its included cable is USB-A so it wont directly plug in, even if you got an adapter I dont think the phone would supply nearly enough power to it(it draws its power directly from its USB interface). Maybe look for On the Go(OTG) type adapter for something like a thumb drive or MicroUSB card as a phone can def power those whereas this is a mechanical hard drive inside the enclosure(not an SSD) so it needs a bit of power.
