This drive is hard to keep in stock because of the storage space, so I jumped on this when it became available again. No issues, nothing bad to say about it. Sale price made it even better. I will buy more.

I recently pre-ordered the Xbox One X and knew that a lot of the games I had on my previous hd (seagate 2TB), were going to by upgraded to 4K. Once patched by Microsoft, these games, which are running between 40-50 + GB would now be increased. I wanted a bigger hd that did not need to be plugged into an electrical source, but just the usb drive on the Xbox. The 5TB is very small and sleek, which can be easily hidden.

This is one of the few external HD you can buy without building it yourself that is 5tb and doesn’t need an additional power cord. Works great with consoles. PS4 itself does not allow an external hard drive to be plugged into a usb dongle, just keep that in mind.
