    Great for PS4

    Used this to pop open and pop into my PS4. Works great. The speed claims it's as fast as the stock hard drive in the PS4, but idk, maybe the 2TB size makes it a little slower. Something about it is a tad slower than stock. When I hit the share button, it takes much longer to save a game video when in a game than it did on the old hard drive. Either way, that small sacrifice for 2TB of space was worth it. Good price, too.

    Small but powerful

    I've had 5 WD portable drives that broke on me. The USB 3.0 capability of the WDs seem to always break and would only work using 2.0. This Seagate model works well. I use this to store my backup files. The 3.0 speed works well and is reliable. The design is slim and sleek.

    I got this to replace my old 256gb external hd, which requires a power source and is really large. This drive is no bigger than a large cellphone, is lightweight, powers on USB, is instantly recognized by win10, and...what else do I need to say?

    Enough space to house my son and my entire libraries. The 2 TB has plenty of space. We bought this on sale now for $40.00 off and main purpose is to vault our Itunes libraries, valuable pictures and home movies that was digitally converted. We also use Seagate 1TB units for each computer. In the event of a Hard drive crash we can restore from the 2TB Seagate.
