I think you mean "partitioned". The answer is both yes and no. The drive needs to be prepared for use. Most operating systems will recognize a new drive and with a few simple questions will take care of it for you.

All of the disk drives are combined into one logical drive. This means that you would loose the data on your existing drives.As a side note, this unit is very fast. I have had mine about a year with no problems (Windows 7 x64).

I installed Windows Vista on this drive, and did not have to separately format it. I just followed the instructions to install Windows, and the installation wizard did the rest. Whether or not the install application formatted the drive before actually doing the install of Windows, I don't know, and it didn't concern me one way or the other.

i assume you are referring to Terabytes? However many you put in it.You supply the hard drives, pick your TB's

Yes, I have the 2TB that comes installed, installed a 3TB drive and have a 4TB USB drive unpartitioned attached.

No, it requires a little effort. Both sides need to be removed and then one can access the drive. My unit failed out of the box. POS if you ask me.

Yes, typically when installing a new operating system a clean install is recommended. Just backup all your important files/docs before because a clean install will of course clean your hard drive of all files!

No, it will initialize the array when you put the drives in. You will have to move the data first.

I've would suggest not installing a previously used drive (assuming you have an old 5400rpm drive lying around, hence your question). When I installed a used drive (not formatted) it crashed the system. It only seems to like new, formatted drives. Mine does happen to be a 7200rpm WD

It only includes the drive. You have to make sure you have a SATA cable available. You also need screws, but it depends on your PC. Many new PC's do not use screws anymore. Instead they you reataining clips and brackets.On the otherhand, if you are replacing a bad drive, then you can just swap this one in its place.

Depends. You can replace the Hdd, with a ssd, or you can add up to two msata drives and leave the Hdd. I replaced the Hdd with a ssd, and added a msata drive.

Nope. It's super simple. On the right ride of the xbox there's a vent. On the top half of the vent there's a clip that you remove half the vent. Then you just put the hard drive right in.

They are not separate partitions. My best advice is to keep a backup on a separate drive, such as an external hard drive.

It must be formatted and partitioned in Windows. Go to manage your Start, Computer, Then select Computer on left screen, the Right click ; select manage and them select Disk drives ,the HD and select format. That should be close to the exact instructions.

No. You will need to purchase cables if it is a new install. You may use the existing cables if it is a replacement. Often, computers will have unused cables that may be used. You will need to confirm what you have to know what you will need to order with the drive.

I'm going to take a stab and say the expansion allows you to easily open up the casing and replace the drive with another once the initial hard drive is filled? I've been searching all over and can't figure it out myself.
