    Instead of buying the 1TB just buy this when you run out of space. Save money and it's also convenient to have the games on a portable hard drive so you can take them to a different xbox if need be.

    I have a seagate 200gb external hard drive from about 4 years ago. It's the exact same physical size as this 2TB external hard drive. Really easy to use, just plug it in to your computer and add your files to the drive.

    I purchased this drive and couldn't be happier with the ease at which I can now do backups of my computers. Plenty of space to hold the backup sets of my three computers with room to spare. A great value for the money.

    Bought this to store all my pics over the years. The Black Friday price was to good to pass on. So I purchased it and it was an awesome purchase in my opinion. Connects to computer right away and easy to add files.

    I was looking for a portable solution with ample space. I have a 3TB desktop drive but this does me no good when on the go. I found this slim, and I do mean very slim, portable drive on sale and it goes everywhere I go!

    Great for a replacement PS4 HDD

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased this HD to replace the one in my PS4. The process was simple enough. The only issue was actually prying the enclosure open. You need something really thin to get in the middle. Once it's taken apart switching it out with another hard drive takes all of 30 seconds. As for backing up, if you haven't done so yet do it now! This drive offers more than enough room for your basic needs (photos, music, docs, etc). Don't wait until something happens to your computer and you're not able to access those precious memories or important papers. Buy this external drive today and back up!

    I bought this to expand my PS4 from 500gb to 2TB. Works perfectly! Buying this type of HD allows you to remove the 500GB HD from the PS4 and place it in the plastic case you remove the 2TB one from, thus inheriting a 500GB HD for personal use. In order for this to fit in your PS4 you simply remove the cover from the plastic hard drive case and slide it in, 10 minutes tops. prying the case open voids the warranty on the hard drive but, just make sure it works before you open it up.

    This hard drive is probably the best option for those looking to increase their PS4 hard drive space. The case is easy to take apart and you can fit the old 500GB hard drive back inside for use on a computer.

    This hard disk is so slim and small in size. You can keep this in your pocket and its very light to carry with you wherever you want. This hard disk is pretty fast to process data and copy huge chunk of data.

    My sons needed extra space for his xbox1 since we only have the 500GB machine. I bought this and he's been able to carry it with him to a friends house and use his data to play his game away from the house.

    Needed a drive to move video files off a desktop. This seemed to be the best value for the price and it has not disappointed. Love the usb power (no need for separate power supply) and the thinness of the drive.

    My son's console hard drive was full, this was great addition. He loves the extra storage space and feels his games load faster from it. He's has had no issues with it since using it for last 3 months.
