The FAT-32 pre-formatted drive is ready to be used on both PC and Mac. It is preloaded with Nero BackItUp software (for Windows only) that allows PC users system backup and restore functions, the ability to schedule automatic backup by date/time. Additionally, users will find Info (for Windows only), software designed to display essential drive information as well as FSSD Formatter and FSSD Eraser (for Windows only) for easy and secure formatting.
