✓ This is a mechanical external hard drive and not a solid-state drive.
✓ Only the external hard drive and USB cable are included.
✓ Computers with USB-C-only ports require a compatible USB-C adapter or USB-C to USB 3.0 Micro-B cable, sold separately.
✓ The drive may require initialization, partitioning, or formatting before first use. Formatting erases all existing data.
✓ Reformatting is generally required for use with macOS or for sharing files between different operating systems.
✓ The advertised 2TB capacity equals 2 trillion bytes. Available formatted capacity will be lower because of formatting and operating-system reporting methods.
✓ The 5Gbps specification represents the maximum USB interface rate. Actual file-transfer performance depends on the computer, USB port, cable, file sizes, drive condition, and system workload.
✓ USB 2.0 compatibility is supported, but transfer speeds will be substantially lower than when connected to a USB 3.0 or USB 3.2 Gen 1 port.
