## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this compatible with the ps4?**
A: Yes it works fine on ps4 had mine since 2019 no issues at all

**Q: Do i need different cables for usb 3 or usb 2?**
A: The cable that comes with it is a "USB-B micro", which is rarely used to a "standard old" USB-A connector.  I am totally disappointed because neither end plugs into a MacBook Air which only has USB-C connector.

You will need either a hub, converted or buy another cable like this one:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09ZP5BHBF

**Q: You know if it works with ps4?**
A: Yes, you will need to go to settings in the PS4 under usb devices and reformat the drive to the PS4 and it will work.

**Q: Can I plug this into my xbox one and store games on it?**
A: Must be formatted to run as a system drive when you plug it in, i use mine for my ps4
