4TB Backup Plus Portable Dr Bk

Q: Does anyone know how to safely remove the drive from the external enclosure?

Get a small, flat-bladed screw driver and gently insert between the aluminum top and the plastic bottom. Rotate the screwdriver slightly to pry the top off. At this point slide the screwdriver around the perimeter and the top will come off. Once the top is off, you will see the top of the internal drive. Carefully remove from the plastic lower without prying or subjecting the drive to significant shock. It is easiest to remove by lifting the side opposite the USB connector. Once the drive is out of the plastic enclosure, you'll need to remove some aluminum tape and wax paper from the drive. Be careful when doing this to avoid ESD which may damage drive circuitry. Once the tape and paper are removed, the USB to SATA board can be carefully removed from the drive. It is an interference fit without any fasteners. You now have a bare 2TB, Samsung Spinpoint 9T drive that is only 9.5 mm tall! Great for laptops and the PS4.I'll try to post some photos later.

Q: what is the difference between this and the "fast" version that costs 200$? Think the dimensions are different, could it be a 7200rpm vs 5400rpm

As the other users have said, this means it's using two drives in Raid 0 mode, meaning you split the data between two drives to effectively double your speed. The Seagate site says 120mb/s vs. 220mb/s. While this sounds great, realize that by splitting your data between two drives, you are also effectively doubling your statistical chance that one will fail causing you to lose said data. It's not a good idea for storage, but fine if you need read/write performance for something like using the drive as a cache/scratch disk for video editing.

Q: Does it work with ps4?

The 2 TB or smaller ones will work with the PS4 after they are removed from the enclosure, but the 4TB one will not. It is larger than the other ones and will not fit. Or at least I could not get mine to fit as it is double the thickness of the current 500gb hard drive that was in my PS4. So if this is for a PS4 make sure to purchase the 2TB or smaller ones!!

Q: does this item need cables if so are they included

画像バックアップ用に使用

小さいながらも4TBもの容量があるので、これまで10年以上撮りだめたデジカメデータ、スマホで撮った画像データを全てバックアップとして保管できました。USB3.0で転送速度も速く、本体は持ち歩きにも重くないので便利ですね。

よい製品です

2台購入してパナソニックBRX7020に繋いで使用しています。特に問題も無く大容量で省スペース、電源不要かつリーズナブルな価格で大変気に入っています。

すごい

この大きさで4TBはすごいですね、今のところ故障せずに使えています。出張時には持ち歩きもしています。

いい感じ

現在のところ故障なく私の好みです。今後どうなるかによって……これまで使っていたポータブルHDDが突然感知しなくなった様になると大嫌いになるしね。

Web Shop Dhamma様から購入

４ＴＢという大容量の2.5インチなのでやや心配だったが問題なく使用できているので大満足バスパワーでも動いたが、念のためケーブルを工夫して１ＡのＡＣアダプタを使っている

大容量でも小型。一台で十分な容量ながら程なくして不良セクター出現

以前はWestern Digitalの2TBを使っていましたが、ほぼ同じ大きさで大容量の4TBとあって非常に使い勝手が広がります。動画編集用、動画ISO保存用、バックアップ用など手狭だったUSB HDDが用途別に一台で済むようになりました。しかしながら、持ち運んだりしていないながらも不良セクターが出現するようになってしまいました。同じ使用環境化で複数の（4台程）Western Digital製のHDDでは発生していなかった問題のため、Seagate製のHDDに固有の問題を内在しているのではないかと想像します。用途には気をつけた方が良いと思います。
