Product description

What’s the difference between an HDD and an SSD, and which one do I need?

The Facet is a hard disk drive (HDD) — it uses a spinning mechanical disc to store data. HDDs offer more storage capacity at lower cost than SSDs, making them suited to backups, game libraries, photo and video archives, and document storage.

Will the Facet work with my PS5, Xbox Series X, or older consoles

Yes. The Facet works with PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. PS5 and Series X/S games can be stored on the Facet but must move to internal storage to play. PS4 and Xbox One games run direct from the drive. Smart TVs with USB are supported.

Do I need to reformat the drive before I use it?

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.

What’s included in the box, and do I need to buy a separate cable?

Everything you need is included: the ModusTech Facet hard drive, a USB-C to USB-C cable with a tethered USB-A adapter, and a quick start guide. The cable connects to modern and older devices without buying anything extra.

How fast is the Facet in real-world use?

The Facet uses a USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface (5Gbps) with a 7200 RPM HDD. Real-world transfer speeds reach up to 100MB/s — the typical sustained ceiling for a 2.5-inch HDD. As a reference, 50GB of photos backs up in around 8 minutes.

High-capacity external hard drive with up to 2TB of storage The ModusTech Facet portable external hard drive gives you dependable HDD storage in a slim 2.5-inch design. Multiple capacities available up to 2TB — 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 about 8 minutes.
Plug-and-play external hard drive for PC, Mac, and laptops Preformatted 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, Xbox One, and Smart TV gaming The Facet is compatible with PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Smart TVs with USB support. PS4 and Xbox One games run directly from the drive — plug it in, format through the console, and add to your storage. Also works with Smart TVs that support USB recording or external media 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 consumer electronics brand specializing in external storage.
