Customers commend the Seagate Backup Plus 2TB external hard drive for its ample storage, ease of use, and compact size, making it ideal for various needs. Positive feedback also highlights its reliability and the fast transfer speeds enabled by the USB 3.0 connection. While some users noted minor issues with the included backup software and occasional noise, the majority found the drive to be a great value. The drive's lightweight design and generally quiet operation were also frequently praised.
Checked out the good reviews for this online as a PS4 hard drive replacement. Search on YouTube and you'll find a tutorial on how to open up this external drive and remove the hdd inside so you can place this into your PS4 and upgrade to 2TB. In return you can put the 500GB hdd that was in your PS4 into the housing/enclosure and use it as an external USB 500GB Hard drive with your PC/Mac (or even additional storage space for your XBox One, once formatted), rather than it just sitting in a drawer somewhere. Be aware though that once you open the enclosure you void your warranty with Seagate and won't be able to return this but it comes highly recommended and worked for both my friend and I. Good Luck! It's not hard at all. Just watch the tutorial video on YouTube first and you'll be fine. Take your time when opening the enclosure!

I have bought over three external hard drives over the past ten years, ranging from 1 to 3 TB in size. While all of them were adequate, the larger ones, were slower and they all wore out quickly, from the largest to the smallest. Seagate is not only 2 TB in memory size, it is three times faster than any of the others I have owned. it out-performed them all in every category. It is portable, fast, and does not use an electrical cord but gets it's power from the USB cord that it uses for computer connections, so only one cord needed. Just plug into your computer USB port and its up and running.... that easy. I also recommend a small carrying case to hold the portable drive and it's cord for protection. The Insignia™ - Hard Shell Case for Most Portable Hard Drives - Black, fits it to a tee, and the cheapest on the market, a hardshell covered in cloth. It's superb!!! Five stars for both

I wanted a good quick and easy backup drive to store photos from my MacBook Pro(running older version of OS X 10.7). Plugged the Seagate in and installed some easy software that came up on a prompt and everything was some in a matter of min. I like this drive cause I can use time machine if I wanted, but I wanted to use it just as a drag and drop drive to store photos and it works well. Cool small slim design, love how tech moves along into practical sizes instead my old power corded huge hard drives in the past...big as yearbooks!
