    I use this on my ps5 for ps4 downloadable games. Works great and plenty of room to make sure I get all the games I had and will get.

    We needed an extra HD for pictures and files, nice to see that a 5Gb unit is as affordable as this. Moved stuff onto it to clear up old computers.

    Easy setup with Xbox One X. Got the 5TB version... I figure I can hold 35+ 4K HDR games between the external drive and the 1TB on the machine, which will give me a number of years of game acquisition capability, and have another USB port if I need additional expansion years down the road.

    Simple, easy to use. It does come with basic software for checking HDD sectors. But any OS can do the same thing. Have an older one from 3 years ago, still going strong.

    Advertising states you can partition the drive for both Mac and Windows backups but that doesn’t work with Mac software. I had to purchase a second drive for the Mac. Now I have all my old Windows data and Dropbox data with plenty of room for more. Over all its compact and simple to use.

    For how inexpensive it was, I was pleasantly surprised by how fast it is. It's not near an ssd, but not too far behind some 'gaming' hdds I have. The physical build of it feels solid, as well. I would definitely recommend it.

    Plenty of space and transfers pretty quickly with USB 3.0 If you actually use it for long periods of time, the drive gets hot. It does go to sleep if not accessed for a long time. Best as a back-up drive as intended. Easy plug-n-play. No fuss. I have not tried the supplied apps yet.

    Perfect external hard drive for gaming consoles; PS4 and Xbox One. Fast and easy to transfer files, as well as installing/downloading more videogames and movies that need bigger storage space. Very nifty and reliable for plug-in and play! Highly recommend it! What are you waiting for (:

    I was amazed at how small this device is! I was going to just use it as a back up but since it is the size of the palm of my hand (almost) I will use it as an external drive for my new laptop. It also gets its power from the USB so only one connection, no need for commercial power.

    The 5tb gives me plenty of space to back up my computer drive which contains thousands of songs & pictures. My computer hard drive had died in the past and I lost a lot of things that I failed to back up. This drive has solved that issue. Got it when it was on sale as well, so that was a bonus.
