    We bought this to increase the storage for our PS4. Files were backed up into the drive. This freed up our PS4 hard drive for more games.

    Seeing how this is a portable hard drive that I will take with me everywhere, the thought of having someone go through my drive if it ever gets stolen, is troubling. Like my phone, if my drive were ever get stolen, I would want the person who stole it, to have trouble accessing the content. The encryption on this drive is quite nice, and I love how it lets you toggle an option to auto unlock on your computer.
