Description

Two cables, one drive for every device

If your home mixes older desktops with USB-A ports and new laptops that have only USB-C, there is no adapter to hunt for: both cables are in the box. The exFAT format means the drive works in Windows and macOS out of the box, and you can move files between the two systems without reformatting.

Who this external hard drive is for

Families and offices running Windows and Mac computers side by side, and phone or tablet owners who want to move photos and videos off the device. 2 TB holds a large photo library, music and backups. At 155 grams, the drive travels easily in a bag.

Questions & answers

Can I connect it to a USB-C laptop?

Yes. A USB-C to Micro-USB Type-B cable is included, so no adapter is needed. A USB-A cable is also in the box for older computers.

Do I need to reformat it for a Mac?

No. The drive is formatted as exFAT, which both Windows 10/11 and macOS can read and write.

Does it work with a phone?

The manufacturer lists Android and iOS support. Use the included USB-C cable if your phone has a USB-C port.
