help Sony HD-SG5 FAQ
How much storage does the Sony HD-SG5 provide?
The HD-SG5 line is sold as a portable hard-disk drive with capacities reaching up to 2TB. Actual usable space is lower after formatting and file-system overhead.
What connection does the Sony HD-SG5 use?
It uses USB 3.0 for connection to compatible computers and devices. Transfer speed will also depend on the computer's port, cable, file size, and the hard drive's mechanical limits.
Is the Sony HD-SG5 suitable for computer backups?
Yes, a portable HDD can store file copies and backup archives, but it should not be the only copy of important data. A second drive or cloud copy protects against loss, theft, and drive failure.
Can I use it with a Mac and a Windows PC?
The drive can be reformatted for cross-platform use, but the best file-system choice depends on how it will be shared. Reformatting erases existing data, so copy the files elsewhere first.
