Connection problems!

"Desktop"? OK in a external dock, thru USB? Can reformat to format exFAT?

external POWER dock should be fine

I use NTFS partition types so NOT sure but it's is an option just never used it, why would you?

Is this a "green" drive?

I'm hearing that "green" drives are not the best choice for your boot (main) drive due to their slower performance.
they are for storage and have a slow RPM so yes that is correct - good for backup

for a main Drive I fully recommend an SSD MUCH FASTER TYPE

On website for this item it describes "Hard Drive Capacity:" and then three boxes: 1GB, 3GB and 4GB. Typo that needs to be fixed?

multi sizes are available for purchase
please remember it's base 2 math so you never get the full size listed on the box it's slightly less formatted.
