Product Manuals
A: As long a the drive isn't plugged in or powered up you shouldn't have any problems transporting it. I'd wrap the drives in bubble wrap and package them tightly so they don't bounce around.
Q: Is this a good drive for an Xbox one.
A: I read it was one of the best for the Xbox One. Am using it for almost a year now.
Q: How is this "Ultra" drive different from the NON-"Ultra" drive?
A: To be honest...... It's marketing in most cases; however, it can and sometimes means slight speed improvements, etc. But in these models, I have personally not noticed a difference as a "normal" user, but I did not benchmark them either. I ALWAYS go with the cheaper model..... Just saying
Q: What is the RPM of this hard drive?
A: 5400 RPM
