This should affect the speed only; I don't think it would keep the
drive from working completely, although that would presumably depend
upon the design.
I don't know why it would not be able to go into a hub -- unless it is
bus-powered, which I tend to doubt.

It is at some point; either they do it or you do it. If they did it
already, then no problem. Since you have the drive working now, then
either it came formatted, or it was formatted for you as part of
whatever steps that the directions had you perform.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
