Good for PS4 storage
Good product. Works perfect for PlayStation 4 however be wary if you own a ps5 because you can’t play ps5 games stored on the hard drive. The games on the hard drive are only playable if they are ps4 games. You can still store ps5 games on there they just won’t be playable until you move them back to your console storage. You also cannot store saved data nor game clips/screenshots on the external hard drive

Nothing Hard about this Drive, It's Great!
I needed a new back up for my photos and Seagate had the right product! I'm pleased with the ese of using the hard drive and glad to have a smaller, more compact storage unit.
