Format To NTFS To Watch Using Your TV
Using Windows 10? Works great! Will it work for TV? You Bet! Will it work for Movies, Music, Files? You bet! IF you have some old movies that you aren't breaking copyright laws with, using WIndows 10, when you get it, plug it into a usb, when it shows up, RIGHT Click on the drive. Scroll to "Format", Should pop up a window look at "File System" if its not already on NTFS (default) then make sure it is on NTFS (leave the allocation size alone) click "Start", it will pop up a warning letting you know you are about to erase everything on the drive, GREAT!!! Do it! (It's brand new, you have nothing to lose) Give it a few seconds, If theres no files on it.. and wah lah! It's formatted for TV :) the write speed? Says online "Up to 60mbs" uhhhh, No! More like a steady 100mbs. Works great! But again, assuming your not breaking copyright laws, if you are using Windows 10, (may work for Windows 11, idk) and want it to work to play on your tv, you have to format it, it's VERY simple to do and.. you'll be able to use it on your tv .

Perfect small and love color
I love how small and compact this is. Love that it had options for colors so we can tell mine from others. The color is a nice sky blue too. Holds amazing amount of pictures that I haven’t even scratched the amount and cleared off laptop and phone full of years of pictures.

It's actually needed if you own a HP Streamer, because it has a small drive that should be free for windows 10 updates, and all other programs stored on my WD Drive, my goal is to move the Windows10 system to my WD drive, but I need to buy additional software to do that.
