What does “plug and play” mean? Shouldn’t I just be able to plug in my external hard drive to my computer and it will work right away?
Plug and Play means you can plug the drive in while your computer is on, you don’t have to turn it off first. Plug and Play does not mean that the drive will automatically be ready to be used when you plug it in. Initial formatting and other basic steps may need to be taken before your hard drive is recognized by your computer. If you need further assistance with this step, please utilize google to search for tutorials or contact us through the ebay message system for further suggestions. I ordered a ____gb drive and the capacity is slightly less than that: he hardware industry measures disk capacity as 1GB=1,000,000,000 bytes. Computers calculate disk drive capacity as 1GB=1,073,741,824 bytes. You can divide your hard drive size by 1074 and you will get the approx. size in Gigabytes. This applies to all hard drives by every manufacturer. If you take your hard drive size and divide it by 1074 rounding up you will get the approx. size in Gigabytes available on the computer.
