It came as a bare drive. I used it to replace a 5400rpm laptop drive. If you want to use it as an external hard drive you will need to buy a separate case for a 2.5 inch Sata hard drive.

If you mean usb drive then no. This device only supports micro SD for external memory.

You can format this drive to either FAT32, NTFS, ExFAT, or whatever. Will work for system backup or making a recovery disk.

You can make any hard drive into an external drive with the right equipment. This is of course a 2.5 inch hard drive so you need to make sure the hardware you purchase is compatible. Honestly I would suggest something with much higher capacity for an external drive at least a terabyte. I use these for operating system install and the major programs.

Yes, if you are familiar with what is required, you can retrieve the information and make connections to use this as an external harddrive.

No, unfortunately not. An external drive is pretty cheap. I bought one when I bought the computer.

Agree with previous two answers. However, if you want to move data to an external drive, yes.

As I recall, this was a kit. It had a cable, an adapter, data transfer software, and a drive housing so you could hook it up as an external drive.

It's not that simple, but yes. Suggest you google this question in your browser: "how to transfer data from one external hard drive to another".

Yes. It comes with a built-in USB cable. If you're using Win operating system it will show as an external hard drive.
