    I was looking for a way to add more memory to my PS4. This was a great alternative to the overpriced PlayStation brand.

    After a few warnings that my hard drive was about to perish, the Geeks transferred and saved my data to this drive. Works great.

    Seagate is comparable to western digital in speed. Don’t see a significant difference. This one has a nice metal casing.

    These are good external HDs. I bought one (2TB) that didn't say "Mac" on the box and was unable to format the drive which is odd because I haven't seen that problem before. I exchanged it for one with the Mac label and it works fine.

    I bought this to store all my GoPro videos and digital photos. Transfer rate is fair between 24 and 30 MB/s per Windows Explorer while transferring actual MP4 files. Sleek design. Great product.

    This was hard to get, as they sold out quickly apparently. Nice drive, completely silent, only a small working light on it.
