    Great little portable HD to extend your Xbox One and PS4 library. No power cables needed, just plug into USB port. Easy to install and use.

    At the time of my purchase, there was still an hdd with a normal sata connector inside. Swapped the original 500 with this 2TB, works great.

    The build of the case is high quality. The physical size of the drive is very small and perfect for on-the-go extra storage for your mobile pc.

    Great for PS4

    With the new beta, the PS4 now let's you use external hard drives to store your games. I picked this up to give it a test, and it's pretty much a life changer. No longer do I have to constantly delete and re-download games. This may be more of a reflection on the PS4 than the hard drive, but installation was easy. Just plug it in, and the PS4 will tell you the drive type isn't supported, then go to the notification, and it will have you format the hard drive right there. It takes two seconds then you are good to start downloading.

    I'm a computer user who deals with very large dwg files and this external hard drive fits the bill for storage of those files. Especially for computer users whose internal hard drive sizes are limited by the SSD technology in the newer machines.

    I was moving up from a 1 TB Seagate drive and chose to stick with the brand because it has worked so well. This didn't disappoint at all.

    We bought this external hard drive for the soul purpose of backing up our computer. It has more than enough space. Ism thinking about purchasing another one just to download all our photo albums pictures. I would recommend this external hard drive.

    This version of Seagate hard drives is really well built. The casing feels great and not cheap. For the price of a 2 TB totally worth it.

    Improper disconnected when IMac went to sleep

    I connected it to my iMac with no problem. But when the iMac went to sleep, there were many massages about improper disconnections of hard driver. I tried to change the setting of my iMac's Energy Saving options but no use. I guess the only way to solve the problem is never let the computer go sleep, which I don't like.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
