    You need this for your PS4 or Xbox One. You will laugh for not having had one before. I am able to put everything I own into it and still have tons of room left for future titles.

    We have always used Toshiba drives but needed more space and this was on for a good price. So far, no problems though my wife is using it not me.

    I bought this for extra memory for my computer. It has worked well. This new computer doesn't have much memory, and my flash drive memory failed for no reason.

    This is my second, maybe, third one. I use them to store data for certain projects that need to be shared/on the go for ease of transfer. Does the job.

    After purchasing this external hard drive based on a hurried employee's recommendation, I went home and found out that it had to be re formatted to work with my MacBook. I returned it and upgraded to a My Passport Ultra for Mac which is pre formatted for MacBook

    Great fir Xbox series s, the only bad thing is that you have to move the games that say X/S on the bottom around. It only takes about 5 minutedls for big games so its not too bad
