Will this drive work with my Xbox or PS4? What about my Mac or PC?

I'm not computer savvy, is the set-up easy?

Setup is simple! Plug the drive into a USB Type-A 3.0 or 2.0 port using the included USB Type-A cable and open your device’s file manager, such as File Explorer or Finder.

Do you need a battery for the drive to work?

The Elements Desktop drive is powered with the included AC adapter. There is no battery or battery replacement to worry about.

What needs to be done to format this device for mac?

To easily reformat to Mac, plug in the drive, open your Mac’s Disk Utility application, and follow the steps from there. Please note, this will erase any data on the drive.
