I bought this disc for its very small footprint. Like all hard disk capacity announced is slightly reduced compared to the reality remains 1.81 TB available. There is already a Seagate disk backup software. The disk is already formatted to NTFS. The drive is self-powered USB directly is no wall outlet cable. As against the USB cable is very short about 45cm. I tested it on Windows XP home without problems. There is no noise. Do not heat. There on the top left side of a small white LED sector. And for owners of Xbox 360 following the end of April 2015 update for using the disks up to 2TB you'll be pleased to know that I particularly tested these functions can copy, move. Or even play games that are listed only on this disc without being on the internal problem without the console. Very useful because the original hard drive was insufficient especially with the program of the two free games per month = Game with gold.
