    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.

    Got this on sale around Black Friday and worth the purchase. Got it for my ps4 but best for my ps5. Was full on my old 2tb external and now I can save all my games and still have plenty of room for more without having to delete games.

    Title says it all lol...it's just for storage and nothing else. It's starts out w/ 4.5 TB which is still good to go along w/ the 1TB in the Series X. My only beef with it is that it's slow. And for anyone who has either or both of the next gen consoles know what I'm talking about when it comes to loading and starting up a game lol...so imagine going from that speed back to a current gen consoles

    It comes with some proprietary programs to backup your harddrive, but I just deleted them and use the harddrive as an expansion. Does it’s job well, but I wish it came with a case. Had to buy one separately as it didn’t come with a hard case to store it safely.

    I wanted to wait a little while before I reviewed it, to make sure it was what i needed. I use this for my Xbox X. Very nice read/write speed. Had to plug it into my laptop first to format it. But afterwards, everything was a breeze.

    Best purchase I have made for my Xbox series X. With game sizes getting bigger, this allowed me to store the games externally and still keep the system’s SSD free. The load times are fast and the drive is whispered quiet. Well worth the buy

    Bought as extended storage for my PS4 Pro. I’ve noticed a little bit longer load times compared to the internal hard drive, but that’s to be expected. Other than that, I’ve had no issues. It was on sale for $100 and you’ll be hard pressed to find a better deal On so much memory.

    I bought two of these drives to use for a backup drive on my desktop and the other for additional storage space on my laptop. Both performed well and are a no brainer to plug in. Happy with my purchase and the service from Best Buy

    This external HD was purchased during Black Friday, as a Christmas gift for a family member. He has a lap top computer however he creates and publishes recordings and music. Hopefully this external HD will meet his needs for storage and free up memory on his laptop.

    Drive is fast, large, reliable and easily recognized by your computer. What more could you ask for! I use it to back up important media like family photos, videos and personal music projects. Since some of these files can be very large, a big drive is essential.

    I caught this while it was on sale prior to Thanksgiving to use for my XBox, what a steal! I don't notice any lag at all when playing/loading games, and 5TB allows for alot of storage. I wish I had bought another to use for my movies/pictures. I definitely recommend.

    A must have if you a surplus of video games!!! The 500GB PlayStation 4 console only has limited storage and with a lot of these games with extreme graphics and long gameplay, it can eat up a lot of storage fast. This little device is the answer to the problem!!!
