  • QuestionI can use this hard drive on my tv LG for watch my videos or movies because I use 2 1t hard drive and work perfectly but I buy a 2t hard drive and tv can read files

    Asked by Nolly.

    • Answer Your question is confusing but assuming you meant Can you use. Well depends on TV. Most tvs only can read drives 1TB or less. And only certain type formatted drives. Fat32 is most common. You will need to read tv manual to see what you can use. Hope this helps.

  • QuestionCan you save pictures straight to this external hard drive from an Iphone without using a computer?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer No. The drive has to be directly connected to devices in question. Online on Amazon or somewhere, there is a transfer cable you can buy that would allow you to transfer items directly from your phone to the drive.

  • QuestionCan I use the 5TB to back my pictures from desktop window 7 ?

    Asked by Carmelita.

    • Answer From the question, it is hard to tell if you are asking about physical capacity of the drive, included backup utilities, or jpeg compatibility. Generally speaking, this drive can be used to backup photos from a Windows desktop. It's a really good, high capacity drive. Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7 on January 14, 2020, so if you want to use third party backup software outside of Windows 7, you need to change computers. If you want to drag and drop a photo folder from your PC to this drive, you can do that.

  • QuestionCan I use this to store movies from my Samsung Z-Fold 3? Or should I purchase a SDD VS HDD? What's the difference? Thank you!

    Asked by Francisco.

    • Answer The biggest difference between SSD and HDD is that HDD is what is commonly found in mid and low grade PCs, and they contain a disk in the center of them that stores data. SSD is relatively the same as HDD but it’s all electronic (no internal memory disk) and because SSD is all electronic, the data processes that occur within them is faster, more stable, and if you’re tech savvy you can actually create unique encryptions on them that can be as simple as a front door code or as detailed as binary code (i.e. 1001010001110001).

  • QuestionWill this work with a Boox Note Air 2? Thank you!

    Asked by Susyn.

    • Answer I'm pretty sure the Boox requires FAT32, which only allows 4Gb file transfers. Although I think you can partition it into multiple 32Gb partitions, it would be unwieldy IMO
