    I was looking for a replacement drive for the ps4. I needed more space. This one was on sale so did a little research and bought it. It has been great. Fast spinup, quick access time, no lag, easy to install. No complaints at all. Will be getting another larger one when the time comes

    Got this for my Xbox One and it's working great. The Xbox formatted it automatically when I hooked it up and it was ready to go. Very convenient that it doesn't need a power source and just powers up along with the Xbox. Highly recommended.

    I brought this compact drive with me on an overseas vacation to backup my pictures during my trip. Very small size to carry along, but has a large storage capacity. Worked flawlessly. I am not sure why they don't carry these drives in the stores any longer though. I had to order it on-line and had it within 5 days.

    I really like the compact size. As soon as I plugged it into the USB it's internal programming came right up. Very easy to configure and use. I mainly use it to store personal files instead of on my work computer but I think I'm going to use it a back up. The only thing I didn't like was that I had to register at Seagate before using.,
