I had no luck with this. It might work if you have more computer knowledge than I have.

Yes, it comes from the factory formatted with FAT32 but you can reformat it with NTFS if desired or most any other system.

Not sure. It comes formatted for NTFS. I don't know what format PS4 uses. At worst you should be able to reformat it to anything if you have the right software. The drives hardware should support it.

It should not matter what is on the drive. It will copy what is there. Keep in mind you need to copy to a drive of the same size or larger but larger you lose the extra space.

NO. It doesn't do anything to the existing drive. It only images (copies) the contents of the old drive to a new drive (that you have to purchase seperately). Zvika

Yes. You can pretty much format any drive you like to a FAT32. You can find many freeware programs that will do this. It still is going strong as my Wii U storage device.

You have to install a sata hard drive so that depends what format and the size of the hard drive.

Yes, you could format it as a NTFS or FAT32. Mac (as well as Windows obviously) supports both.

Yes. But I don't recommend this drive. I got 250 GB of files on it that cannot be read anymore!

Yes, - it has to be reformatted. It's easy - my non-tech sister just did it.

Yes. You'll have to go to the WD website to get.instructions on how to format it using Disk Utility. Not hard, but not plug and play.Hope this helps. Cheers,Steve

As commenter Super Geek suggests, if you're using a PC, then you will need to reformat it as Fat32. If you have any data on it, you will need to back it up elsewhere in order to reformat the drive for PC.

Not if it isn't retail. I usually buy oem drives, they just arrive in bulk. If you are loading any Windows version, it will format the drive.

You could reformat to fat 32, but the size limits of fat 32 are far below the full capacity of this hard drive, so you either have to have multiple partitions or use NTFS to have the full capacity. Fat 32 is much slower in some circumstances also. There are some details on the size limits on this page. Hope that was helpful. Troy http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938432.aspx

Yes. But you have to actually swap it. You have to open the drive with out the system knowing. youtube has useful videos on this.

Yes, if you reformat the USB drive, you will lose all data on that drive. Copy the data from the USB drive to the hard disk, or to another USB drive. After the data is safely copied to another drive, you can reformat the Kingston. After reformatting the Kingston, you can copy your saved data back to the reformatted USB drive.
