Its the same as the link except its 1tb. It works perfectly on my laptop but I just want to know can I hook it up to my dvd player? My dvd player has a usb port but it cannot recognize the files. Do I have to change the format of the files? Or is their a cheap alternative HD with a smaller capacity that can be connected to a dvd player?
