No, it is a bare drive. I used a usb2IDE appliance and Clonezilla, a free OpenSource download.

This is just a hard drive with a USB connection. There should be no conflict or issue if your computer has USB port.

Yes it's justs plug and play and it's recognized by any OS. I use windows backup with no problems.The drive itself is amazingly fast! I'd say it has cut hours a week in productivity.

No it is not. The connectors on those drives are different than laptop arrives.

No this is a formatted pic hdd. You may be able to attempt an external hook up with it but not an internal swap. I'd do some Google searching though I'm not sure if this one will work externally due to its size.

You can get an adapter plug to match up the plug on the hard drive to the enclosure plug.

The end that plugs into the hard drive is mini USB. Do not use third party USB cables with this hard drive, the mini USB plug on those adapters is too loose.

I was wondering the same thing. So basically, it's impossible to purchase a 3TB drive that does not come with a plug? Unfortunate. :/

No heat isn't an issue. I mainly use it for backing up all my storage(music, movies, pictures, software) of roughly 2TB. No complaints whatsoever.

Kind of. The USB cable coming out of the drive splits into two USB plugs. One for power and one for data. That means you don't need to have it plugged into the wall, but you will need two USB ports available.

I believe the drive is powered by legacy usb 2.0 standard interface. The other end of the connector is usb 3.0 peripheral interface.

I have plugged in all time, using it for photo editing in Lightroom and Photoshop then backing up to another external. No over heating issues, it does get "warm" if stacked directly on another plugged in drive so stopped doing that. I like the drive, haven't had any issues with it.
