    Bought one for my son a year and a half ago & just bought another for his best friend so they have the storage space needed for all their gaming needs. This product is reliable and sturdy and is perfect for their needs. It has already stood the test of time.

    After being told in the store that this drive was not compatible for the Xbox One, I decided to try for myself anyways. Took it home, connected it to the console, and started the console. After formatting the drive for the console, I began transferring files to it. Most of my games are now on the drive, and it seems to load games and apps faster than the internal drive of the Xbox. Definitely worth the money.

    Purchased this on sale from Bestbuy.com. I happened to do a search for PS4 compatible external hard drives and this was one of the ones I saw the most. To make a long story short, upon receiving it, it would not format for the ps4. First external that I have purchased for my ps4 that didnt format once plugged into ps4. I have 2 others. Turns out that I had to hook it up to my computer, format it using all these special steps then I was able use it. All this being said, once everything was done, it now works perfectly. And I love how compact it is. My other 2 are quite bigger.
