Perfect gaming library
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This external hard drive has quite literally become my gaming library. I've put most of my Steam library on it because I'm not playing those games, and still have room for more. Thanks to it, I don't have to worry about memory space on my regular computer.

Perfect for my Gaming need
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Bought this specifically for one thing, gaming. 2 TB is good enough to accommodate most of the games I played from Steam, Epic and GOG. It works great, connected to my laptop via USB C, so loading is quite fast. It does get hot at times, but I really don't play more than 2 hours per day or maybe 4 hours on a weekend. Take advantage specially if there is an occasional sale or price drop.

And Two Cables!
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Tiny, quick, with two cables for different USB compatibility, What’s not to like. My new computer uses the cable with the latest USB which is incredibly fast, my older computer uses the cable for the older USB and while not as fast it is still better than the traditional mechanical hard drives. I may be back for another.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWould this be a usable option to put most of my playstation 4 library on to use as extended storage on the playstarion 5 to play my ps4 games off without using my ps5's internal storage?
Asked by David.
- A:Answer Absolutely. I am currently using this daily. Nice and easy hookup/process. Even easier to use on PS5 than it was on PS4.

Q: Questionwhat is this hard drive model's rpm?
Asked by Anonymous.

Answered by AfflictedNation
Q: QuestionIf USB C/ USB 3.2 gen 2 (10Gb/s) why is the maximum transfer speed listed as 540mb/s?
Asked by Blake.
- A:Answer There is not a drive out there that exists that does 10GB a sec. 1000M/B is 1GB and your looking for something that does 10,000mbs a sec? Not a computer on earth is that fast. Believe me 1/2 a GB a second is PLENTY fast enough for these new consoles. You'll never need speeds of a 1000mbs on these new consoles. If it's for a computer then sure go with the T7 but even 1000mbs a sec is so fast that most PCs don't that speed. It's a great drive for anything you want it for.

Q: QuestionDoes this external SSD work on the XBOX SERIES X?
Asked by SCARFACEPR.
- A:Answer Yes. It can be used to play games and store content... BUT note that optimized Series X/S games are designed to be run from the Internal drive (or the optional Seagate expanded storage drive), so all other (non optimized) games can be played from this drive.
