    Top picks. Plastic built didn’t give me much confidence, but the product itself was fine. Found a better alternative during a promotion, otherwise I would’ve kept it!

    So all in all this is exactly what it says. 4TB! Works great with my PS4, allowing me to download many large games! The only reason it isn’t a 5 star is because the connecter to the hard drive isn’t the best. I had problems with the cord moving just a little bit then the hard drive would be disconnected. But once I I put it a nice stable place I’ve never had that problem again!

    Way clunky- thought it would be the standard passport size. I like the portability of the standard drives because I can attach them as backups to computers or my Arlo system, but I guess it is portable and has way more storage than a flash drive. Would be easier to buy again if it were smaller.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Very good storage. Beware apple users, you need to format the drive before using it. Besides that, it is terrific for storing projects. The connecting cable is not common so treat it well or you'll have trouble ordering a new one online.
