    Perfect solution for backing up my PS4 data

    I needed to expand my PS4's storage from 500GB to 2TB. The kit came with a USB thumb drive, but that would only store player data and game saves. Instead of backing up the minimum, I used this to backup the entire hard drive. This saved me several hours. Instead of having to re-download all the download games and DLC packs, I just made sure to use the USB 3.0 port on the PS4. Seagate hasn't let me down yet and this drive met my needs perfectly.

    If you don't have backup of files, you need one of these. Small and easy to store in vault or safe place.

    Fast transfers if you have USB 3.0 (the blue USB port on your computer). This thing is massive. You'll be hard pressed to fill up 2 TB of storage (unless you're storing hundreds of video torrents). The average user needs nothing more than this! This is an especially good compliment to those who opted for a small, but efficient SSD drive on their computer, but still want large storage solutions for rarely accessed pictures/files.

    I don't always buy Seagate- but tried this 2TB. It was simple- called for help- the operator was right there helping me and we got it up and running! The best part if it's fast and is fairly sturdy.

    I purchased this as a gift for the Xbox one as an extra memory space. The kids love it because they can add all of their video games to the external unit. It's is very quiet and extremely fast.

    I like the dashboard that helps you set up scheduled back-ups and other functions. Its very simple for someone who may not be very tech-savvy. I feel like the back-ups run a little slow sometimes but that may have more to do with my computer than the drive

    I've always been a fan of Seagate and really love their drive. The USB 3.0 connectivity is fantastic, especially the backwards compatibility. I love that these drives are tiny, very portable and do not require an AC Adapter to plug into the wall. Powers directly through the USB port. If you have a USB 3.0 port, a definite purchase. If you're only USB 2.0 at this time but will upgrade in the future, I'd consider this drive. For the few extra dollars, you are covered when you upgrade to 3.0
