Q: Can this drive be removed from case and used as an internal sata drive?

It was not as easy to remove as most usb cases, because there are 4 odd screws that hold the case together, which none of my tools fit. So, I took a small coping type saw and just cut diagonally on each corner just inside the screws so they wouldn't hold the top half. After that, it was just a simple screwdriver to pop all the internal clips around the seam of the case. Then inside, the drive was secured to the case with 2 pins on the long sides of the drive, where I pried the sides outward with pliers to free it from the case. The usb board unscrewed from the drive easily. The drive is actually a WD Ultrastar Data Center DC HC320, dated Nov 30 2019, which is just awesome. My understanding is that the drive may not power up if installed internally because of pin 3. The workaround I'm going to try for that is to just connect an older type 4 pin power connector to sata adapter, which is supposed to prevent the problem with pin 3, 3.3V power. Other workarounds include covering pin 3 with some type of electrical tape.

Q: What sort of file system does this use? It isnt working with my tv and i think that may have something to do with it

The drive comes formatted with an NTFS filesystem. To use it with devices other than a PC, the drive should be reformatted as exFAT or FAT32. I would suggest using exFAT, as FAT32 cannot hold files larger than 4 GiB. You can do this by right-clicking the drive in File Explorer, and then clicking "Format," and changing "File System" to exFAT. You can also rename the drive here, under "Volume Label." A "Quick Format" should be fine (and is faster), but unchecking this box will allow a full reformat, which will check for bad sectors and other problems. You can also do this using Disk Manager, but that requires a bit more technical prowess. YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA ON THE DRIVE WHEN REFORMATTING!!! Back up your data somewhere else, change the file system, then move it back.

Q: Why so many Vine reviews! Is no one buying this drive and they had to be given away to build a review base?

I find it very good so far, some people may not like the noise, but it is not as bad as some say. It sounds like a internal pc hd

Q: 110v only？ or 110v～240v？

110v-220v consumes an external storage power supply! The hard drive itself consumes 12v
