    It's not so compact as it could be, need additional power supply, but for that money it's a great solution to archive my photo and video as well. I bought it with a very good discount.

    I got this for my PS4 Pro. It was easy to hook up and set up. The PS formatted it in less than 30 seconds. Transferring games and save data was simple but took a little time.

    It was nice and spacious. A fine backup. Unfortunately, it cannot handle even small falls onto carpeted surfaces without going bust. That's kind of the nature of the beast when it comes to hard drives, but it's always sad when it happens. Keep a backup of your backup to be safe.

    I added this specifically for my Xbox One X because of the space requirements on 4K games. This game me plenty of space and works great. I have had a couple of times in which the xbox doesnt recognize it on initial start up but a simple unplug and replug or restart of the console fixes that

    A pretty average and slow external backup drive. Windows had to install an updated driver for this. It works, but there are better options out there. I also wonder why some companies would have an external drive stand up, vice lay flat?
