Q: Toshiba canvio connect II 2tb
A: Yes, but you gotta format it
Q: Windows 10
A: I have Windows 10 and it works fine with it. It also works on my daughter's Windows 7 laptop and my wife's Window's 8.1 laptop.
Q: will this product work with windows 10
A: Yes, no issues at all. It is UBS3 so WIN10 likes it and will be fast if you are utilizing UBS3. It will also work with USB2 just not as fast.
Q: What is the button on the portable hard drive?
A: There is no button. It is just a light with a bit of plastic in the middle. It sounds like you have a power issue on your USB port. I would try to place it in a USB 3 port and see if the problem keeps happening. Mine also flashes just before going back to sleep when I am not backing up data or the system is not indexing the drive.
Q: Can this be used with xbox one gaming systems
A: Yes, this is Xbox One compatible.
A: use as an additional hard drive
Q: For use with two computers?
A: You can partisan the drive and format for NTFS on one partisan and HFS+J on the other. Or keep it at 2TB format with EXFAT it will work on both. I format with NTFS and run 'NTFS for MAC' on my apple. I need the 2TB due to large video editing needs. The drive works on both computers.
Q: It wants me to format the disk, should I do that?
A: What type of device are you connecting your Canvio Connect II to? Please post another question and provide more information. If you connecting to a Windows based device it should work just fine. If you connecting it to Mac devices and you are using Apple Time Machine you would need to reformat the drive.
