    I took this harddrive apart and it was a great upgrade to my existing harddrive. Tons of space and now I've got a nice sata connector for pulling info of old hard drives as a second job. It does what it's suppose to too but I enjoyed pulling it apart.

    This works very well. The Seagate dashboard is also helpful. I just plug it in and it automatically backs up all my files to the hard drive. Nice!

    My computer had failed, but thanks to this i managed to get absolutely everything off of it and onto the new one, now i'm mostly using it as extra storage for my xbox. it doesn't require it's own power source so it's much more useful as portable storage.

    I used this to upgrade my PS4's hard drive. Works flawlessly. First one was DOA but the Best Buy customer service was awesome when I exchanged it.

    This was much cheaper than buying a harddrive out right to put in my ps4. Simple to take apart and replace the ps4 hard drive

    If you need more HD space, then look no further than this massive 2TB external drive. Its USB 3.0 ready and of course works with USB 2.0 also.

    Nice external drive. Plug and play out of the package, super fast using USB 3.0. Nice that it's powered via USB so you don't need an extra power adapter or cord.
