## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the real size capacity of 6th hard drive  e.g 5.60tb.?**
A: This is to with the way drives sizes are calculated. We see drive sizes at TB but drives see it as TiB. 

Converting 8TB to 8TiB is 7.27596TB
Converting 6TB to 6TiB is 5.45697TB
Converting 4TB to 4TiB is 3.63798TB 

Hope this helps.

**Q: Is this compatible with XP**
A: XP? surely not.

**Q: By 'full system backup' does this include a system image & programmes etc as well as docs, pics, music ?**
A: Well, as its just an external drive,  there's no restriction on what you can store subject to capacity constraints.  HOW and WHAT to store is entirely up to you.   
Are you actually asking about software to accomplish these tasks???    If so,  WD let you download a freebie copy of Acronis True image from the WD support site.  Whether this can also be used for file backup/restore  is not something I can comment on but is it doesn't,  you could use the Microsoft supplied tools (with win 7, 8 and 10) to do this.   
Personally, I prefer Macrium Reflect. Although it can do file and folder backup as well as imaging disks,  I don't bother with file backup.   I do a full system image once per week, then differential images for the rest of the week. Given this, there's no point in performing file/folder backups since Macrium images can be mounted as temporary drives and the files/folders that are needed to recover from eg accidental deletions can be extracted from the mounted image.  I believe, but cant swear to Acronis True Image having analogous capabilities but I am referring to the full product  - whether the WD freebie version includes this capability is another matter!

**Q: hi will this work with ps4 pro thanks**
A: Confirming, works pretty nicely with my PS4 Pro. One caveat though: The hard drive may not properly switch off if the console is left on standby mode. Power the console off completely and you are fine.
