    I seem to have been very lucky with Seagate hard drives, never had a problem with them. Didn't have much luck with Western Digital but all Seagate hard drives I've had lasted a long time, and that's with heavy use.

    This is a perfect slim hard drive that doesn't require external power. Easily fits in a laptop bag without taking up much room.

    With its rugged and compact design, I am sure that I can totally trust the information I can store in it. At 4 TB size, it is the first large capacity portable HD that I have seen, that too at affordable price.

    One For XBox One/One For PS4

    I already knew the caveats of using external hard drives with the gaming systems so I'm not rating them based on the limitations of the system. I'm ranking them based on the hardware itself. The drives are nice, small form factor drives that do not require an external power adapter which is a nicety for sure. The run quietly (though they are both in cabinets so quiet may be relative). I plugged them in, the systems formatted them without error and they've been running in place ever since.

    I have used Velcro on the drive and attached it to the back of my MacBook Pro. It does the job and frees up plenty of space.

    This is an average product and really nothing special. IT worked fine out of the box and had no real problems at all. I would recommend it to another person to purchase as long as the price hasn't gone up.

    I picked this up on a trip when I needed to backup my computer and some important files. I have a 500GB version of this drive from 2013 and it still works great. Hopefully it has the same life expectancy.
