This is a good option for external storage when on sale.
I picked up a couple of them at a good price. The housing is plastic. The speed is typically 130 MB/s. I use them for backups.

I've been using the Seagate Expansion 2TB Portable Hard Drive for a few weeks now, and it has exceeded my expectations. The setup was incredibly easy—just plug it in via USB 3.0, and it’s ready to go with no additional software required. The transfer speeds are fast, making it ideal for backing up large files and media collections.
The drive is compact and portable, so it’s easy to carry between home and office. I also appreciate the included Rescue Data Recovery Services, which adds peace of mind in case of accidental data loss. So far, it has been reliable and quiet during operation, and the build feels sturdy.
Overall, this hard drive offers excellent value for storage, portability, and security, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone needing extra storage with reliable performance.

So far this laptop has proven to be exactly what I needed! Great clarity, very nice keyboard, holds its charge, and just overall exceeds expectations. Also love the Flex top exclamation Geek Squad helped me do a lot of the preliminary transition and set up. Geek squad has already proven to well worth the investment. The photo has a mini keyboard that I bought overlapping the regular keyboard so please note this is not the best photo but it’s the only one I had on hand.

The drive was “stupid” light in weight and very fast in copying files via usb. I am so glad I grabbed two drives. You cannot go wrong in picking this drive for backup and other uses.

it has 1.8TB total. I stored my photos and videos from phone. easy to use, not slow when I transfer files. the only thing that I notice is when I deleted files, it does delete permanently without being asked “are you sure you want to delete it permanently”. but I guess that’s what most of hard drive now, unlike my old seagate hard drive that would pop up the question before deleting it unless I would click “never ask again”

I bought this because I wanted a HDD instead of an SSD because I read they were better. Now I think SSD are probably fine. I once unplugged this hard drive without ejecting first and the next time I plugged it in my computer told me it needed to be fixed. The computer fixed it, but that gave me a scare; I'd already put a lot of precious memories on it. You'd probably be fine with this or another product.

Works well for storing pictures and docs, but little slower than expected. But comes in handy when my phone starts getting laggy because my photos take up like 40gb worth of space -_-

Overall this product served its person of backing up my stuff on my computer. It was easy to set up, along the recovery service plan does confuse me as it is not clearly stated. The device has a 1-year warranty after registering. It came with 1.7 TB of room when I plugged it in. I haven't tried it with any game console.
