## Features

- High-capacity external hard drive with up to 2TB of storage The ModusTech Facet portable external hard drive gives you up to 2TB of dependable HDD storage in a slim 2.5-inch design. Choose the right capacity for your needs — back up photos, videos, music, documents, and game libraries with room to grow. A trusted external storage solution for everyday backup, media archives, and creative work.
- USB-C and USB 3.1 connectivity with included 2-in-1 cable The Facet ships with a USB-C to USB-C cable and tethered USB-A adapter, so this external hard drive connects to modern laptops, USB-C iPhones, tablets, and older USB-A computers without buying an extra cable. USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) interface delivers real-world transfer speeds up to 100MB/s — fast enough to back up 50GB of files in around 8 minutes.
- Plug-and-play external hard drive for PC, Mac, and laptops Pre-formatted in exFAT and ready to use the moment you plug it in. The Facet works out of the box with Windows PCs, macOS Macs, MacBooks, Chromebooks, and laptops — no drivers, no software, no setup required. A true plug-and-play external hard drive built for everyday use across every major operating system.
- External hard drive for PS4, PS5, Xbox, and Smart TV The Facet is compatible with PlayStation and Xbox consoles for game storage. PS4 and Xbox One games play directly from the drive. PS5 and Xbox Series X/S games can be stored on the Facet and moved to internal storage when you're ready to play — a console limitation that applies to all USB external hard drives. Also works with Smart TVs that support USB recording or external playback.
- Slim, shock-resistant portable external hard drive — 160g At 2.5 inches and just 160g, this portable external hard drive is bus-powered through a single USB-C cable — no separate power adapter, no extra cables. Slim enough for a laptop bag, jacket pocket, or camera bag, with a shockresistant casing and faceted diamond-texture top panel that resists fingerprints and everyday wear. Backed by a 1-year limited warranty from ModusTech, a UK-registered consumer electronics brand specialising in external storage. Product
- Durable, Shock-Resistant Design for Long-Last ing Use: Built to last, the ModusTech external hard drive is designed with a rugged, anti-scratch casing to protect your data from everyday bumps and drops. Its shock-resistant design ensures your data remains safe during transport and handling, while the included 2-in-1 cable ensures secure and versatile connections wherever you go
- Quick Recommendations For universal compatibility, always choose exFAT. For Windows-only use, go with NTFS. For Mac-only systems, use APFS or HFS+. For older TVs or car stereos, use FAT32. Avoid FAT32 if you need to store files over 4GB.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What should I do if my drive keeps disconnecting or isn't recognised?**
A: Try a different cable and USB port first. If it still disconnects, back up any accessible data immediately, then contact support — this can indicate a fault.

**Q: Do I need to reformat the drive before I use it?**
A: No. The Facet ships pre-formatted in exFAT and works with Windows, macOS, PlayStation, Xbox, and Smart TVs out of the box. Reformat to NTFS for Windows-only, APFS for Mac-only, or FAT32 for older devices. Reformatting erases all data on the drive.

**Q: Can I connect the Facet directly to my phone?**
A: Yes. USB-C phones connect directly using the included USB-C to USB-C cable. Older USB-A or micro-USB phones need a separate OTG adapter (not included). If your phone shows "charging only," switch it to File Transfer/MTP mode.

**Q: What if the cable or port doesn't fit properly?**
A: Each Facet is inspected before shipping. If the USB-C port or cable doesn't align or connect smoothly on arrival, this is a defect — contact support for a free replacement, not a workaround.

**Q: Why did my files become corrupted or fail to transfer?**
A: Always safely eject the drive before unplugging. If errors or corruption occur during normal use, stop transferring immediately, back up what you can, and contact support for diagnosis.
