    I needed extra space for my ps4 so I bought this while it was on sale. It has been worth the purchase. Now I don’t have to worry about space anymore.

    I bought this to use as external storage for a PS4. Works great. Be advised, it must be plugged directly into the PS4 to function. It cannot be used through a USB hub.

    I’m using it to expand my Xbox One storage capacity and it works well. Games saved to it load just as quickly as if they’re stored directly on the Xbox itslef.

    Setting up was a bit challenging to figure out, but after that, it has worked great for me so far. I was able to segment the drive to serve more than 1 purpose.

    Purchased for storage, not as back up. After I ignored the set-up directions which opened on initial use, it's been easy to use -- a simple plug-and-play.
