User questions & answers

Question:	So i can plug and play without using the software
Answer:	I assume you are asking in regard to the backup software that usually comes on such a disk. They answer is "Yes" by just using the windows explorer to move and copy files. I don't care for the usual backup software, so the first thing I do it move all the files in the root directory to another one that I create just to save it. Then I'm not bothered by their backup software when I plug in the drive. Other programs can save files to the disk too. Your computer should find any drivers if needed. That would be under another topic.
Question:	Besides backing up, can I also add separate folder into Canvio that keeps some documents/videos which are not on hard drive and access them easily
Answer:	Yes. Think of it as a oversized flash drive. It can be used the same way
Question:	I’m trying to connect a tv antenna but my tv has no coax connection on the back . Can I use this to replace the coax and how do I do it
Answer:	With the help of electrical tape 3 pennies and a 2 inch wire you can make this into a wireless TV antenna just make sure you change the pennies every 3 days because that is how much the government taxes air waves coming into your home. They know if you used pennies that have been used before so don't think you can just rotate 6 pennies every 3 days. The middle of the penny is a zinc battery eric has a individual serial number. I suggest getting a new roll of pennies from your bank every 4 or 5 months deepening if your your TV everyday.
Question:	How do you make this work on the PS4 ?? It is telling us “device not supported
Answer:	Before it can be used as an external storage, when you first plug your drive into the USB port, on screen a question appears asking if you want to reformat your drive. Answer "Yes". And just about a minute it will be ready to use as an external storage drive.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used with an iPad
Answer:	Hi, The Seagate hard drives are designed to be compatible with most major Windows and Apple Mac computer systems and was not tested on anything other than those two operating systems so its uncertain whether the drive will respond to the iPad. When using a Seagate USB external drive with something other than a desktop or laptop computer, Seagate recommends consulting the manufacturer of your device to understand what limitations may exist. Here are some common limitations: Format restrictions - NTFS, HFS+, Fat32, etc Capacity limitations - max capacity may vary by device Power Requirements - may require a drive that gets power from a wall outlet Partition type requirements - MBR vs GPT Feature limitations - some USB ports may not be compatible with external hard drives. Sector size - 512 vs Advanced format drive (4K) Kind regards, Dev

Answer:	Yep shows up on screen as seagate
Question:	Why is it so slow on larger transfers? ie. 40mbs when writing more than 4gb
Answer:	Hello, Transfer speeds can be affected and be directly impacted by various factors.
