    Great for the xbox one, I had concerns regarding heating issues but not once has it happened. System is on usually 8 hours a day longer on weekends never had a read/write issue. Great to tuck away since it's so small and no need for an external power source.

    Bought this to get a bigger hard drive in my PS4. Size and price were great and it was a perfect match for shape/size I needed. My only complaint is I wish it was a bit faster speed than I already had in there but it wasn't a downgrade so no biggie.

    This is by far an awesome hard drive for the price. I used it to put movies on it so when we are in our RV and don't have any tv channels or internet this works great just hook it up to the laptop and connect it to the tv and then we have movies to watch.

    I've never bought Seagate before but it works great. Bought as additional XB1 storage so I wouldn't have to keep deleting games. NO set up needed, just plugged it in and it did all the work and I transferred my games over!

    The Seagate external hard drive has plenty of space to store your files and photos. I have loaded a couple thousand photos and barely tapped it's potential. As a novice, I used you tube tutorials and it was a snap. The price is right too at Best Buy.
