QuestionI have an iPad Pro 12.9 which external hard drive will work with it ?
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Best Buy and Amazon sells type c flash drives that should work with any type c device such as a Samsung phone or your iPad Pro. I believe the highest they'll go should be 256gb or 512gb. If you need a terabyte or more, definitely look up external drives that are compatible with iOS. An external SSD is more recommendable because it's faster, just make sure it's compatible with iOS (the system within iphones and ipads)

QuestionWhere is Quick Start Guide? I don't see it anywhere. There is a page titled Technical Support, Safety and Warranty Guide. It is printed with the text at about 2 pixels in size and in many languages. I read it with a magnifying glass and did not see it.
Asked 3 years ago by JP.
- Answer You could check the web site but this rugged little drive is so simple you should not need it. Just plug it in and it should be ready to format if you are not a Windows user. I think it is preformatted for Windows but if you are using another OS just enter the command required to initialize the disk and format it. For instance "INITIALIZE /ERASE /STRUCTURE=5 $7$DNC6: NEW_USB_DISK" on the VMS operating system specifies that disk device number 6 on cluster node 7 USB controller C is to be erased and then formatted according to the On Disk Structure 5 format specification and labeled NEW_USB_DISK. Keep a hand full of these on hand and when a user complains about disk space just pop one in and add a quick two terabytes of disk space.
