Howe do i Rearrange files on external drive?

You can defragment an external drive connected to a computer running Windows by opening the disk defragment tool and selected the external drive. Though if the external drive is an SSD, there would be no point in defragmenting it or "rearranging files" as there are no parts that need to be moved before the file can be accessed.


What does Plug and Play for external hard drives mean?

plug and play external devices are simply that, you plug them, the computer detects them and you can use it right away. Basically the same as Plug and Play for internal hardware. The computer can be running while you plug the hard drive in and the computer will recognize it and start installing drivers, if needed. Then you can use, or "Play" with what you just plugged in.
