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.

    I've purchased this item due to my PS4 ran out of space. I have to admit, it was perfect for a PS3 console. I got to download tons of games, addons and updates. For the price is awesome for a 2TB storage! I strongly suggest to get one if you need more space!

    I've been using Seagate Drives since 2009 and they've never failed me. I make it a point to purchase a new one every year or so to backup my backups and always stick to this brand. This one in particular, I'm using as additional storage for my Nvidia Shield TV

    Though it appears this drive only works with PCs it is completely MAC compatible. It is a bit difficult to find photos that you may be looking for out of your iPhoto library, but they are all there and saved securely.

    I bought this product to keep all my photos in one place. The 2TB is enough for me and helps me keep all my photos organized. Overall its a great product and so much easier than having to carry around several USBs and SD cards

    The drive is fast and is a great solution for keeping all of my files safe. I haven’t really had any major issues. It does drain my laptop battery just by being plugged in, so I have to keep if unplugged.

    This drive is working fine. I put it on my Tablo over the air (OTA) digital video recorder (DVR). It has been working for a few weeks without any problems. Recorded and played back many videos.I tried some other USB powered portable drives and they didn't work reliably.

    This compact hard drive is handy and quick. It feels solid and I like the textured surface as well. I have not used the included software - I'm using it as a glorified thumb drive and it's perfect.

    I'm using this hard drive with my Xbox one and for some reason when it's plugged in it slows it down a lot to the point I have to plug in the Ethernet cable to it just so it can run some what faster.

    Pretty seamless to upgrade Xbox one storage, just plug it in. Any issues would be on Xbox functionality not this hard drive. Wish I would’ve bought sooner.

    I love this product. I needed more room on my Xbox because I could only have four games and now I have over 15. Definitely worth it. And go for the 2TB just because it has that much more space.
