Clicked on this deal just to answer this inevitable question.
Yes - a hard drive is just a hard drive. What makes it 'for Windows' or 'for Mac' is simply the file system it has been formatted with. For Windows, it will be NTFS formatted, for Mac OS it will be HFS+Journaled formatted. You can easily change the file system just by formatting it in whatever type of computer you're using - use Disk Management in Windows or Disk Utility in Mac OS.
I hope you mean 'never again will I put data that I really don't want to lose on just one hard drive'. Buy two next time, even if they're not recertified, or get some cloud storage.

No the ghost of Steve Jobs appears and slaps it out of your hand as soon as you try and plug it in.

Good price for XB or PS4 external storage, was waiting for the Passport X to go up again but reformatting this should be good to go!

Hi mate. The ones that are available should have a blue Add to Cart button depending on size chosen but they often change stock levels.

Strange, I don't have an add to card option at all on any page! Do you need an account first?

No mate, that screenshot is just off the site from the link, maybe try another browser?

It should say for each size choice Notify When Available/ Add To Cart depending on real time current stock. If it doesn't it could be your ad blocker which you then turn off for this site and reload page. Or as above try another browser.

Recertified.. i wouldnt touch it. The purpose of having this is so that u can put ur data on it. But its recertified,so if it packs up,u lose data as well as the hard drive.. rather pay a bit more for a brand new one for the peace of mind,may not gurantee it never packa up but as least it would have more reliability with it being brand new

I Agree. Not worth not havin a warranty at least on one of these. No point getting a drive that could fail sooner than a new one at £20 more.

But those were also brand new at some point ....but failed. These recertified should be better ...at least they have been fixed LOL
The new ones can fail...peace of mind wont bring the data back. :relaxed:

Recertified can mean someone bought it & returned nothing wrong with it, can also just be box got damaged. You've got a point but just soak test it on arrival, it's not difficult.
Most will be using these as external drives for consoles where it doesn't really matter if it blows up

So for the un-initiated - "soak test"- Whats that and how do I do that to check the hard drive I order is perfect? :sunglasses:

Would this work with a PS4? Is it as simple as reformatting it and you're good to go?
ocelot20 to Jonesyccfc

As long as it's USB 3.0 then it will work for the PS4. Before plugging into the PS4 you will need to connect to a laptop or PC and format to FAT. Then connect it to the PS4 and format it again (via the PS4 settings) so the PS4 can use it to store games on.
