    worked well immediately. However, be warned- you need to check ok when asked if you will share info with the company. I made the mistake of passing on this and the install hung at 18 percent. I redownloaded the software from the site and started over, this time checking yes. Install was perfect.

    5 TB goes a long way to store 200+ PS4 games on my PS5; Quick Access (not as fast as a SSD but fast enough); External HD is worth the price.
