This is the first Drive I've bought (if you don't count flash drives, except for external storage for my PS4, which seemed to auto-format). When I plugged it into my PC, heard a very soft whirring sound, and felt subtle vibration, like a fan spinning inside. It's very feint and I cannot hear it from my desk (my PC is on the ground).When I clicked on the new (F:) Drive, it showed 3 files. I clicked the one named Start Here and it walked me through formatting the Drive. Since I use a Guest account on my PC (for added security), I could not format it, and had to log into my admin account instead, which worked just fine.While reformatting it, it took me to a menu for a 1 year free tried for Adobe Creative Cloud, which has several free video and photo-editing software programs, including photoshop, which is nice. I didn't expect this, but I'm familiar with photoshop, since I used it in high school and do need photo-editing from time-to-time, so I will actually be using it! I'm interested in tinkering with the video-editing program as well (I believe it was called Premier Pro).Note: I did not need to add a credit card for this trial! It seems to be an actual free trial with no string attached. Neat :)I'll update this if anything goes wrong with it, but so far it seems to work properly, as intended. It displayed the storage available in GB, the number seemed about right.
