    Bought this for my PS4 than external drive Works easily updates quickly love the fact that it has its own power pack so I don't have to strain my PS4 it's well worth the money I just wish Sony would allow us to put bigger hard drives in the units so I could have the USB port to do anything else I might need only drawback to these consoles that you have to get these gigantic drives to store your favorite games I wish the SSD drives would go down in price a lot more but for now this unit Works excellent you won't be disappointed pick it up today

    Great for storing those games you don't play alot, but want to be able to access them without waiting for down loads. Keep in mind it's not an ssd and is loud like the older hd that comes stock with a basic pc. For the price and what I use it for it's perfect

    Needed a new hard drive for storage and for the amount of space and the price range, I say it's a match made in heaven. Reformatted so that it can be used on both Mac and PC.

    I bought this to replace my 1TB External for my Xbox One. I wanted a 5 Tb but Best Buy has no in-store purchase options for that, so I got the extra 3 TB. Works perfect with my One.

    Simply an amazing deal for bulk storage when they go on sale (as they often have been). I've purchased multiple of these to take apart and use the drives in a NAS.

    Was looking for a single-drive storage solution. For the price, this was terrific. There may be faster options out there, but if you just need raw storage, this is a good choice.

    I am currently using this drive for media storage attached to a Plex Server. This thing performs very well, and you cannot beat the amount of storage for this price! The only downside is the appearance of the device; I would have preferred something a little easier on the eyes.

    So far, so good. No issues with a bad drive, no issues writing things to the drive and so much space to back up pictures and videos (esp. as 4K video are pretty gigantic).
