Do I need to format this drive?
Last response: in Storage
Hey guys,
I just bought a Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB internal HDD and a IDE/Sata to USB adapter.
I am planning (at least short term) to use this HDD as I would use an external HDD to store HD vids/pics.
Do I need to, or should I format this Samsung drive and if so, how?
Thanks,
-TG
