    Finally, Seagate is making larger drives that don't need those big clunky AC adapters. Keep it up. I'm waiting for larger ones

    The dive is great with 1 extra TB than the Xbox branded drives. 5400rpm tons of storage with 5 TB. Quiet and powered thru Xbox. I believe this is the largest drive offered than doesn't need to be plugged in. I wish the made a 7200rpm model.
