You need a USB connection port on your pc. The Windows operating system shouldn't matter.

You can..bit you will be better of if you install windows and your most common used applications either on an internal SSD (best option) or an external flash drive. The system will be faster this way, and you can use your external 2TB for storing everything else.

I've been using 120gb with another 120gb as extra storage. I therefore think 500gb is ample, especially if you can always get external storage later for backup. I run windows8.1.

Yes, it works great with Windows 7. I use that system in my computer and have had no issues with the drive. As for the size, I do believe that 500GB is the max. I am not sure what causes the limit, but 500GB is as high as it goes.

You have to put a jump drive in there, in the back. * 2GB seems to be the best idea, minimum. * But you can't use just any jump drive, because the slot is deeper and more narrow than you typically find on electronics (thanks a lot, Sony). * And (as if that wasn't annoying enough) I just got one to fit, but the 350 still won't recognize it. * Look at the owners manual, and there is a page about external memory where they suggest a Sony product by a specific serial number. I think that's what I am gonna try.* At the end of the day, the BD-Live content looks to be a lot of nonsense, but I've gotten sorta Ahab/Moby Dick about this task, and will pursue it to pointless depths. Good luck.

If you are trying to use this as an internal HDD, you might want to double check on the size there. That's a 3.5" HDD commonly used in desktops; unless you were planning on using this drive in an external HDD rig I would suggest you look into the 2.5" HDDs. *Suggestion: go with &lt;Western Digital Bare Drives 2.5 Inch, Low Profile, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8MB Cache 500GB Mobile Hard Drive, Blue WD5000LPVT&gt; it's only $3 more ($43.99) than that desktop HDD for double the capacity.

I would buy a large external drive. The is much faster than standard hard drives

You need an internal HDD yes. A flash drive will not work. You need around 6 gb I believe. I would purchase an Xbox with the 200+ GB HDD or grab an external one to plug into yours. Just about any model with enough space should suffice.

Your English is great! It is a 500GB I have a 1TB external I use with it too. Never came close to filling up the built in hard drive. Hope that helps.

I installed a 2TB Western Digital internal drive and it works just fine. You can transfer files from your main PC onto this internal drive with the supplied cable that comes with this unit.My set up works great

Seagate FreeAgent Go 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST905003FGA2E1-RK (Silver) I used this to back up my files from XP2000 and use these same files on my Laptop with Windows 7. I am not sure of copying everything directly to windows 7 for I find many programs are incompatible. Microsoft gives you the option of updating files. Files from Outlook and Outlook express are saved on a special place in your computer. Ask an expert. I checked with a Staples expert and he was able to give me all the answers I needed.

Sorry, I run Windows, don't do "I" products, the actual available storage is slightly less than 500GB's, so if you need 500 I'd go bigger, there is a 750 & a 1TB on Amazon

Absolutely. I have an older Dell running XP with an older Buffalo external drive attached (that's why a secondBuffalo drive to a second PC) that has maybe 20,000 photos plus tons of other files on it. Assuming you havea fee USB port, an external disk is the way to go especially on older PCs with a smaller C drive.

No, you can use the external hard drive, it only support internal hard drive, sorry for that.

will I loose all my data that is already on the 4GB, or is this an additional drive? I tried to use the Seagate 1TB external Computer drive, but it wouldn't work.

Use the USB and a USB external hard drive. WD has one with 2TB I picked up during Black Friday sales.

I don't know. You might want to do a bit more research on the External Drive and the xbox in regards to requirements of the xbox and the capabilities/specs of the drive.
