User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with the power adapter
Answer:	Yes ma'am that is exactly why I bought this cable to transfer from hard drive to hard drive (20gb to 150gb) for the same Xbox 360. this is exactly what you are looking for :) merry Christmas
Question:	Is this compatabible with the ps
Answer:	Sure, you have to connect the new drive to the Xbox 360, then you turn on the console, and the assitant appears after login, then the assistant itself guides you in this operation is very easy. One thing the process erases the content of the old disk.
Question:	Will this work with a system that only has USB2.0 ports
Answer:	usualy the PG read out should be between 100ms and 500ms. the PG being 70 means that the power good signal is being broadcast every 70ms if all the voltages are good the PSU should in theory still be suitable for use. the PG delay tells the computer that the power supply is still functioning properly at certain intervals and helps the emergency shutoff circuitry that is built in to motherboards to know when the powersupply has gone bad.
Question:	which one is better? elements 8tb or my book 8tb
Answer:	In other words, it does NOT support testing Watts.

User questions & answers

Question:	I read that Xbox 360 couldn't use more than a 32gb external hard drive, so how will this work
Answer:	There was an Xbox live system software update for the 360 consoles that went live on August 30th ending the 16/32GB external memory cap. The USB ports on the console will now recognize external hard drives up to 2TB per slot, and two 2TB hard drives can be used simultaneously giving you 4TB total if you need it. It took ten years, but Microsoft finally listened to the masses.
Question:	do you have to select whether the Xbox uses the internal or external drive when you are loading up a game? or will it find it automatically
Answer:	I think the short answer to your question is the Xbox will find it automatically. The long answer is that during initial configuration of the drive (when you connect it the first time) it will ask you if you want to use this to install games to. After this, the Xbox manages the drive and knows where it has installed the games. If you want to clear up space on the internal drive, you can move games previously installed on it from the internal drive to the external drive. You will do this through the Xbox manage storage feature, so the Xbox will know where it installed the game.
Question:	Does it come with the connecting cord
Answer:	u mean the usb 3.0 cord?
Question:	Will any external hard drive work for extra storage or do I have to buy this one
Answer:	Like others have said, any 3.0 USB drive will work. Funny thing I picked up the same brand 2tb hd and it was like 10 to $15 cheaper as said before, plus it came with a silicone protection sleeve/case and had a 2 year warranty instead of the 1yr that this xbox version drive has. Also this drive is made and assembled in China whereas the same brand 2tb external plain drive is from China but assembled in thailand

User questions & answers

Question:	Just for clarification, this 1tb version will work if i plug it into my S8+ without any additional hardware to retrieve and transer files? Thank you
Answer:	2 USB Ports, C-Port, HDMI, and SD
Question:	Can i boot windows 10 directly using boot camp if i connect it to my mbp? im running out of storage on my mac so i don’t want to partitin&useboot camp
Answer:	No. You can transfer with a flash drive.
Question:	Will this ssd work as a external hard drive for ps
Answer:	Which os and service pack or kernel level are you using, if linux based. also let me know the model of your laptop, onto which its installed.. mine works great on a dell latitude E6320, also crosscheck your ATA/AHCI settings on bios. any cloning utility used..? or fresh installs?
Question:	I am running mac os catalina. if i reformat the drive, will it erase the cache that’s built into the drive
Answer:	I tried it in a usb3 dock and didn't get nearly the performance others get hooking directly to sata. About 80Mbps average write speed backing up to capacity with HD video projects. Started out at around 270Mbps but that only lasted the 1st 20 sec or so. I get closer to 100Mbps average throughout with 7200 rpm Seagate laptop drives of same form factor and size. eSata might be a better bet and you won't need an enclosure... no circuitry is exposed as is.
