Is is an official Microsoft hard drive?

I don't think it's official but I have had zero problems out of mine since I got it. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a hard drive.. Paying more for the Microsoft model is no bueno.. Worked just the same so far.

Define official, Microsoft does not make Hard drives this big. Bought mine almost 6 months ago now and it's still going strong.

This is not an official microsoft brand hardrive but it is recognized by the xbox as one. When you check the storage it lists the hdd as "Microsoft".

No, but the only downside is that you cannot play original Xbox games. Other than that I'd say that it is well wort the price.

This particular one is a hard drive. There are others that offer solid state/hybrid.

Sure. it just a HDD with some free software from WD. No need to install this software or keep it on a HDD ;)

No, it's an unformatted drive with no software loaded. You will need your own software to load.

Yes it's justs plug and play and it's recognized by any OS. I use windows backup with no problems.The drive itself is amazingly fast! I'd say it has cut hours a week in productivity.

Yes, it is a 3TB hard drive. When you take it out of the box and hook it up to your computer, go to "Get Info" and it will show you the capacity of itself. LaCie rocks! The HD truly works as easily as they advertise. I give it five stars. Jude Hibler

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

It has been formatted from the factory as NTFS which works with Windows OS, including Windows 7. No need to worry.

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

Yes. It was loaded and setup with Windows XP Professional before the hard drive was formatted.

its not a hard drive. you put a laptop hard drive into it. it is just a case that turns a laptop hard drive into an external hard drive.

no unless the product description indicates it's installed. I found an alternative to MS office with a search for "free MS Office download"

Amazon sent me an email inviting me to respond to this since I purchased this item a few weeks ago. I don't know about the one being offered here but mine has a 297 gByte hard drive, as reported through Windows 7. I was happy quite satisfied with the laptop...the only cautionary tale is that it comes with Windows loaded with no hardcopy of the OS or key: If windows has to be reloaded for any reason (this has NOT happened to me yet, I am just being pessimistic) you will have to pay for it.

It is genuine. All drives will show reduce size due to the method used when formatting. It has to do with the 1046k of unformated drive to make 1000k when formatted.

Not if you buy it online. Microsoft usually gives you the option of downloading the software and mailing you a backup disc. However, if all you have is the disc then you will need to get an external hard drive.
