Portable External HD Hard Drive, 1TB,2TB, 4TB,5TB, HDD Memory, USB3.0, High Speed Flash Drive for Laptop,

1. FAT format

2, the computer can not find the hard disk, check the desktop computer connected to the back of the USB, the hard disk needs 5V1A power supply, do not use a multi-connector, the hard disk directly connected to the computer, otherwise the voltage is not enough to start.

3, if you can not find, you can right-click “My computer”, choose “management” – “Disk management”, there is an unallocated drive letter capacity below, right-click, initialize, after initialization, right-click formatting

4, if it doesn’t work, you can try another computer

5, PlayStation available

PS game consoles must be genuine and cannot be cracked

Game console model: Only supports PS4 and PS5 consoles with system software version 4.50 or higher

For instructions on formatting a hard drive for extended storage and operations, please refer to the PS official website.

About capacity:

Since the calculation units of hard disk manufacturers and computer operating systems are different, the capacity display will be different. When producing hard disks, the capacity is calculated according to 1G = 1000M = 1000 * 1000K = 1000 * 1000 * 1000BYTE. However, the computer operating system is binary and calculated according to 1G = 1024M = 1024 * 1024K = 1024 * 1024 * 1024BYTE.

FAQ:

The solution for booting a hard disk drives beyond 2.2 TB.

Most legacy systems built before 2011 have a traditional PC BIOS. This type of BIOS uses a Master Boot Record (MBR). The MBR Partitions can define a disk drive capacity up to 2.2TB. Windows operating systems that boot from an MBR are therefore limited to 2.2TB per MBR. Such as a 3TB disk drive in a legacy BIOS and Window system will need a DiscWizard device driver to access the full capacity of a 3TB disk drive. Two partitions will be necessary because of the MBR limitation. The device driver mounts the capacity above 2.2TB with another MBR which looks to the system as a second virtual “physical” device.

GUID Partition Tables (GPT) can define drives larger than 2.2TB. You can use GPT today on any Windows 10/ 8.1/8/7 and Vista system as a non-booting data drive. Windows can only boot a GPT partition on a new type of BIOS called UEFI.
