QuestionWill this work on a portable gaming device like the aseus rog ally to download games and play on it with no problem?
Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer If you're asking, as in if you have steam, and use it as the main hard drive for storage and you use it at home, but also want to take it with you to a relative or friends house and play games from it, yes it's possible. I have all my games on steam installed on one and have a dual motherboard pc, i can just swap it between the two different pc's without any issues.

QuestionCan I just take it out of the case and hard mount inside my PC?
Asked 2 years ago by rj.
- Answer No... it doesn't have the same connection as a regular mini hard drive does. It's soldering is to a connector plate. You would need to get the version that's for internal installation, such as the ones that you use on a Playstation.

QuestionDoes this have a heating? And if not, is it gonna fry in 2 months or less like I've heard?
Asked 2 years ago by Yes.
- Answer Heating ? No, its just an external hard drive, not a heater... As for how long it might last, that depends upon if you treat it like crap, drop it and so on. Ive had 5 of them for the past 5 years without issues.

QuestionWill my ps games still stay in the cloud for me to retrieve if the hard drive stops working?
Asked 2 years ago by Av.
- Answer You realize that the cloud is the cloud and not the hard drive ? The cloud and the hard drive are literally 2 separate entities that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. If you have games installed on the cloud, they aren't actually playable from the cloud. If the hard drive breaks, you'll still have to get a new hard drive and re-download the games to the new hard drive...

QuestionIf usb 3.2 Gen 1 is the same as usb 3.0 then what is the difference between this HD and the mypassport which sells for $109.99? What makes this one better?
Asked 3 years ago by ilikegreen.
- Answer The fancy case! Seriously that’s about it. This is mostly a marketing push to distinguish this as a “gaming” drive. Inside the device, you’ll find very similar spec’d hard drives. Get what’s on sale.

QuestionCan you use an external hard drive for 2 different systems
Asked 5 years ago by Laz.
- Answer If you mean 2 different systems as in different brands, no. I own multiple Xbox One systems and I can move my portable HDDs between the consoles with no issue. If a different profile is logged in the other console as long as they own the game they can play whatever games are installed on the HDD.
