    Fairly intuitive (especially if you have experience with external hard drives) and super easy to use, this hard drive provides more than enough space so I can back up all my photos locally and not be subject to any future cloud hacks like all the celebrities seem to get hit by.

    Good Xbox External Drive

    My son was about to sell his Xbox1 for nothing so he could upgrade to the new one this fall. He was almost out of storage and was itching for something new anyways. He ended up keeping his Xbox, upgrading his memory instead with this and with the money he saved, had enough for a NESSwitch. This little thing is quiet, out of the way and super helpful to keep his games going on the Xbox. Great drive, great price and a good alternative to a huge purchase if your gaming system runs out of space.

    I purchased this for my son to help backup his games. It works very well, no problem with it not saving. It holds a lot of memory to story quite a bit of his games from his Play station 5. I have also bought one for myself to use with photos.

    The Seagate - Backup Plus Slim 1TB External USB drive is a lifesaver when it comes to working at home. Having 1TB of storage helps when you are working with a lot images and high capacity design files. Love it!

    Simple drive easy to use and dependable. I used this drive to provide data to my client and it works great. Check the pricing of each drive based on color. For some reason some drives are cheaper than others.

    I’ve had good luck with these drives for backing up files from my MacBook Air. I’m very careful with them and always keep them in a protective case when not in use. This color is pretty and different.

    I have had external hard-drive's in the past and they were considerably larger. Nice to always see the form factor reduce in size when I need additional space.

    Works great with my son's PS4. A little slow to download games straight to it, but it serves its purpose. Best if you download the game to the PS4 HD, then transfer to the external drive later.
