    This serves as my Xbox one extra storage unit. It does great and can't really tell a difference between internally installed games and external.

    Easy to set up. I used on a Mac, had to run disk utility to setup but if you've used an external drive with macs it's nothing new or hard to do.

    It took me a while to understand that you have to use Time Machine to back up a Mac with this hard drive. Once I figured that out - it was sooo easy!

    I am very happy to have purchased this item. I think it was a good price. I use it on my Xbox one. I store a lot of my games on it and I don't have to worry about not have enough space for my games. I don't play as any games as other people so the 2tb was perfect for me. It was very easy to hook up to my Xbox and I haven't had any problems with it.

    I own several of these drives now -- in different colors! I find them easy to work with, fast, solid, and light enough to take along on a trip.

    I was able to use the drive in my PS4 after some simple engineering, this is currently the cheapest and easiest solution to upgrade your PS4 to 2tb.

    I recently purchased a laptop for my daughter and also purchased the Seagate 2TB External USB. With all of the pictures, videos and presentations that will be stored, I thought this would be a good purchase. Great sale price and plenty of storage.

    I love the sleek design, size of device and the storage capacity. I purchased a 2TB device for just my music and despite the large storage size, the device is still small and compact. Loved it so much, I purchased another for my scanned bills so I can get rid of paper and have more space in home office.
