    This works very well. The Seagate dashboard is also helpful. I just plug it in and it automatically backs up all my files to the hard drive. Nice!

    I used this to upgrade my PS4's hard drive. Works flawlessly. First one was DOA but the Best Buy customer service was awesome when I exchanged it.

    I took this harddrive apart and it was a great upgrade to my existing harddrive. Tons of space and now I've got a nice sata connector for pulling info of old hard drives as a second job. It does what it's suppose to too but I enjoyed pulling it apart.

    I needed an external hard drive for my PS4, I believe this one is the best on the market for performance at a great price. $69 can't beat it.

    If you need more HD space, then look no further than this massive 2TB external drive. Its USB 3.0 ready and of course works with USB 2.0 also.

    Bought this to transfer data from my MS Windows Vista machine to MS Windows 10. The Seagate interface doesn't work with the Vista machine. Used file explorer to get again the problem. Don't bother to load interface to Vista. Works great with MS Windows10.
