Customers often highlight the ample storage, ease of use, and compatibility of the Expansion 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive. Many appreciate its compact size and affordable price, finding it lightweight and easy to transport. Positive feedback also mentions reliable performance. A minor drawback cited by some users is the short length of the included USB cable.

    This is my 2nd Seagate portable hard drive and so far this brand has not failed me. Good inn backing up photos and videos as well as work and school files. The design is pretty cool. Wish it came with a case.

    Excellent external storage for the money. Works like a charm, and has plenty of storage for all of my files. No extra cords to deal with, either; just use the 1 USB cable to plug it into your laptop or computer, and you're all set. I don't plan on running out of space any time soon. Great product!

    Works reliably - been using it with Mac for about 2 years now. I used to purchase other brands earlier but switched to seagate about 5 years ago when I switched to macbooks around the same time. Never had an issue so far. (touch wood!)

    I don’t see much in an external HDD, not even fast writes, just persistence and portability. I bought this because my last WD drive failed in 2 short weeks, so far this hasn’t disappointed me yet.

    Installed this external hard drive to my PS4 with no issues. Plug and play, the Playstation 4 automatically formats the hard drive with the correct firmware/software once plugged in. Took about 5 minutes and it was ready to use. I have over 15 games downloaded and ready to play.

    Space saver

    So I got this to transfer my old PS4 data to so I could play them without using up all my PS5 storage space. It works well in that aspect. For those who think you can store PS5 data on it, you can't. One thing I found out that, at least for me. Any games you put on it while it is connected to the PS5, will have a hard time getting updates to transfer to this storage. I personally had to transfer more than one games data back to the PS5 storage to get it to update and then transfer it back to save space on my PS5.
