User questions & answers

Question:	But will this work on PS
Answer:	It works for the xbox one I dont see why it would work for the series S
Question:	Will this work with both my Macbook and my Xbox One interchangeably
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does this work with Wii U
Answer:	The NAS will be powered off (not gracefully), but hopefully you would not lose data. You have to press the power button to start it again. More importantly I would suggest - enable snapshots, this may save you some trouble. Maybe not 100% reliable, but better than nothing.
Question:	For PC gaming, we are able to download steam, blizzard, origin, epic games on it
Answer:	The device does not come with drives. It requires two 500GB drives as a minimum. Electronic Instructions come with the device.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with ipad 11 pro
Answer:	1. Yes, you should be able to insert this SSD into an M.2 slot on your motherboard. 2. The SSD has about 237 GB usable space; after your operating system, page file, and hibernation file, about 210 GB. It has enough room for frequently used applications, but you should probably invest in a mechanical hard drive to use alongside.
Question:	Will this work with an iPad
Answer:	No. You need to purchase an adapter.
Question:	anyone experience disk not ejected properly issue? I use MacBook pro 2019, didn't reconfigure, if need to, pls show me how to reconfigure for mac
Answer:	most likely, but it acts like a converter even if it doesn't fit in the case.
Question:	Is it compatible with Windows Vista
Answer:	I bought a HGST 1TB 8MB Cache 5400RPM SATA III (6.0Gb/s) 2.5" PS3 & PS4 Hard Drive -0J22413 - works great.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with the power adapter
Answer:	Yes, 110-240v power supply
Question:	Is this compatabible with the ps
Answer:	PS4 maxes out at 8TB. Do not buy this 12TB thinking it will work...trust me I already checked.
Question:	Will this work with a system that only has USB2.0 ports
Answer:	Technically it won't be any faster than a USB2 drive since the limit will be the port on the PC. But it will work no worse and if you ever get a PC with USB3 ports it will work much better.
Question:	which one is better? elements 8tb or my book 8tb
Answer:	I bought a My Book 8TB several years ago, and I bought the Elements 8TB about a week ago. I love the Elements drive, in my experience it is much better than either the My Book or the Seagate 8TB which I also own. The Elements drive is nearly silent and I got a solid 100MBps sustained write speed, which none of the other drives match. The Seagate is very slow.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this also fit my Toshiba external hard drive
Answer:	Yes it can. I was using it on my garage floor with a rubber doormat under it (to keep it from sliding around and also reduce noise a bit). Then I had my wood delivery guy bring me a stump so I could have the splitter at a more comfortable height. But it works fine on the floor or ground.
Question:	What is the length of the cables
Answer:	The box says made in China - imported by a company in Ontario Canada. It is strong and nicely finished - we like it.
Question:	What is the length one says 1' the other 3' which one is correct
Answer:	China? No thanks. I'm sure there are U.S. manufacturers who make and actually invented/designed a similar product.
Question:	is this cable compatible with Seagate external hard drives
Answer:	I use an 8 lb sledge hammer and it works fine.
