    Purchased this item to extend storage on ps4 system. Connected to said system, recognized and with my selections data transferred. This is the 2 tb storage, some go up to 5 tb however this works fine for my purposes. Also highly recommend using an established company such as Best Buy. Let’s just say this is the second purchase and Best Buy was the company that fulfilled their obligation. Thanks

    Great external hard drive. Plenty of memory and small enough to carry around. Seagates are great and never had any issues with any of their external hard drives.

    Love how small and thin this portable hard drive is, and the fact that is 2TB, so much space in such a small package. Work seamlesly with just Plug and Play.

    I love this 2TB beast! It works well and I would recommend it to anyone from students to professional on-the-go Business people! I personally would have preferred a harder material for the cover, like aluminum. Besides my minor cosmetic wish, it is the best for the price!

    I can't say anything too amazing here. It's plug and play and ready to use simply by plugging it in to a usb plug. I love Seagate drives and have used them for a decade or more. So definitely recommended.

    I used this with my MacBook Pro and it was perfect for about 6 months and one day my computer no longer recognized it. There was no warning it just suddenly quit working. The light was on and you could hear it running but not connecting. This is the second Seagate Backup Plus that has done this for me in about a year. Definitely need to find another way to back up.
