    This is a Great External Drive. The only thing I wished it had was being self powered by USB only, but other then that is one of the best HDD out there.

    This is the 4th external HD I own, and I've had it just over a week now. I bought it as an external HD for my PlayStation 4. 3 days after setting it up, I was downloading something in low power mode while I ran some errands. Power went out in my neighborhood for a few minutes, and when I came back the HD was corrupt because it wasn't turned off properly...2 TB of games lost, most of which I had transferred over, not DL'ed. It did try to "repair" but that failed. Today, 6 days later, I'm ejecting a disc and a lightly bump the cord connecting the HD to my PS4. "This device was disconnected improperly"...this time it was able to repair itself. I mean, if it potentially gets corrupted because the cord was lightly bumped...this device is pretty shoddy. Be warned if you have kids, pets, power outages...live in an area with a breeze..... I use Western Digital HD's on my Xbox One, and have for 2 years without so much as a hiccup.
