User questions & answers

Question:	Usb 2.0. Support
Answer:	Yes. 2.0 and 3.0.
Question:	What is the warranty? i can't find any info on it at seagate except that there isn't a warranty via seagate based on the serial number i entered
Answer:	The warranty in the US is 1 year. I found the answer on Seagate's data sheet for this product from their website (which Google was kind enough to find for me, I couldn't find it digging on their website). It depends on your region. https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/datasheets/pdfs/portable-drive-2-5-DS1985-1-1804US-en_US.pdf
Question:	Can you use this for PS
Answer:	I had this hard drive for awhile as a spare backup drive in my PC. I plugged it into the front port of my PS4 and instantly gained 4TB of space. It requires no extra power source, the PS4 will format it and you can play games on it just the same as installing to your HDD inside the PS4. I don't notice any speed issues on my PRO, it runs the same speed. It's perfect to stop you from having to shuffle games off and on the limited 1TB in the system.
Question:	How many hours of music can this hold
Answer:	An MP3 is about 1-2 meg/minute depending on bit rate, so in the worst case, say 4-8 million minutes depending on bit rate, so it's about 66,666 to 123,000 hours depending on file size. About 7.6 - 15 years of continuous recording. Chances are, unless you're loading it with porn (and maybe not even then!) you probably can't fill this before it wears out. Trust me, by the time you even come close to filling this drive, a 40TB drive will be about the same price, you'll buy that, then copy everything over, format it, then offer it to your kid, who will wonder what can he do with a drive this small.

User questions & answers

Question:	up to 220 mb/s" - assuming you have usb type-c to usb type-c cable connected to a tb3 port. correct
Answer:	Correct, that figure is best case scenario, with other connections (USB 3.0 or 2.0) your mileage may vary
Question:	does this have a thunderbolt-3 port
Answer:	It has one port and that is usbc
Question:	I see an on/off switch at the back. Does this mean that this drive needs to be plugged to a power outlet to work
Answer:	Yes, this drive requires AC power. It uses a high-performance 3.5" drive inside. It is the smaller 2.5" drive portables that are often bus-powered over USB.
Question:	Why does this product list as having thunderbolt connection if it only has usb-c? can you adjust the description to reflect accuracy
Answer:	USB-C is not regular a USB 3.0 port. I believe USB-C is what the "Port Type" is called for Thunderbolt 3 - so you do need a compatible Thunderbolt cable the is supported by the device. I believe it comes with one that supports 3.0 and 2.0.All USB-C cables will work as Thunderbolt 3 cables as long as they are good quality cables. Since this drive's maximum speed is 220Mbs - the cable provided with the device will be fine considering TB3 cables transfer rate is 20 - 40GBs (depending on cable length) - which you won't be getting out of your device, but will ensure you are getting the maximum performance out of this drive.Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 3 has a top data transfer speed of 40Gbps as long as the cable is 0.5m (1.6 ft.) or shorter.For 1m (3.2 ft.) or longer cables, Thunderbolt 3 supports passive (cheaper) ones that have a top speed of 20Gbps, and active cables (more expensive) that retain the 40Gbps speed.Thunderbolt 3 is backward-compatible with earlier versions of Thunderbolt, but due to the new port type, adapters are required to use legacy Thunderbolt devices.Type-C USB and USB 3.1 are backward-compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. In a pure Type-C USB connection, the Type-A ports and plugs are no longer included. However, you'll find compatible Type A-to-Type C cables. On top of that, there will be adapters to make Type C hosts and devices work with existing USB devices.

Answer:	Have you gone to XPG's website and downloaded the rgb software for that specific part. By going to their website you can pick which part you need and make sure you open the file and run the startup file.
