Just received a new Seagate 2Tb drive and would like to prepare it for use. I have a spare Humax box with a 500Mb drive and will put it in there to get it formatted. Can I then use it to copy files from my original box via a sata to usb caddy as a back up and when necessary fit it straight in my original box. I guess what I'm asking is after its been formatted in the spare box can it be used via usb to backup my original box and then slotted in the original when and if it's drive pops it's cloggs? Or will it not be happy in the original if it's been formatted in another box.
Hope that's not too confusing.
