QuestionCan I use this hard drive to download movies from my windows laptop and then plug into my PS3 to watch my movies on my TV?
Asked 3 years ago by Kat.
- Answer Yes you can but you have to reformat the drive to FAT32. Then you can add .mp4 formatted movies to the drive and plug it into the PlayStation. After that, it should read the drive. It’s a matter of formatting.

QuestionDoes this work for backing up computers and phones or just game systems? Is it mac or pc compatible? Both?
Asked 5 years ago by Linzzzz.
- Answer It can back up anything with a USB port. I used it on a PC, I don't know about a MAC it is supposed to. It is great to reduce ransomware risk, because as long as you do not enable the password on this device automatically, when ransomware tries to encrypt it, it can not because it needs the password... BUT the security software is sometimes difficult to invoke.
