    On first connecting the device to a newer HP laptop (Windows 11), I get an error message "There's a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now to fix it". I scan it and no errors are found. I try again. Same error message. The only software on the device is 1 file - a PDF of the warranty. I click on it to view and get an error message "file not found". Clearly this is a low-quality product - I'm returning it.

    I bought this External Hard Drive to record TV programs on, from my Aluratek - Digital TV Converter Box. This Hard Drive has proven to work well for this purpose. I had experienced lost or partial recordings and sporadic operation when using a 32GB Flash Drive.Works
