Portable HDD
If you need 1TB of portable slim storage that looks good this is the drive. It is USB, easily portable and case seems tough enough to throw in your bag and go. Performance wise this drive is great. It has the performance you'd expect from a USB 3.0 drive. I've attached my Crystalmark run from my PC. Large files it gets 126 MB write, which I find to be about what I'd expect from a Hard Drive, esp. a portable one. I've had no problems with it. To further test I copied the game Echo to the drive and ran it from the portable HDD on my laptop and I didn't notice any issues while playing. Setup was plug and play with Windows 10 and my Kids Chromebook. I'm happy with the performance. The packaging has a nice look if that matters to you and the housing is solid.

This drive is ultra fast, compact and quiet
This drive is marketed for Chromebooks, and works great for Chromebooks, but can also be used with virtually any system that accepts usb storage, including laptops, PCs, MACs, XBOXs, Playstations, tablets, and even phones with the appropriate adapters. Although you have to keep in mind that transfer speeds will be different than advertised based on adapters used, and the connected devices. There is not much in specs on the box, as Seagate does not typically offer the same types of specs for portable storage like they do for their internal drives. Their website does indicate that this drive is formatted in exFAT , for more of a plug and play feature with more types of devices. exFAT is also a much lighter system than NTFS, and able to handle larger drive sizes over the traditional FAT system, up to 4GB capacities. After confirming with Seagate tech support, this drive is in fact a Hard Disk Drive, not a hybrid or Solid Sate Drive. Although they didn't have much more to offer than that, it's probably reasonable to assume that this is very similar to their 2.5" internal laptop drives that run at 5400RPMs. When I asked Seagate what the actual drives data transfer rates were, they basically said it was 5 Gbps (Giga bits per second), which is the max data rate of USB 3. Keep in mind that when most manufacturers are talking about data speeds they always use bits instead of Bytes. (1 Byte is equal to 8 bits.) I did run some speed tests on my Chromebook, and laptop using the included USB 3 cable and USB 3 ports. I am including pictures of the results. I was also able to transfer 6 GigaBytes of data per minute from my laptop to the drive. So far I am very pleased with this drive, I love how compact, and stylish it is. It's pretty easy to carry around with me for sharing larger data files with ease. I have not had to do anything more than plug it in, to use it on several different devices.

Works Perfectly (PS4)
I wanted to extend my PS4 storage and decided to use an external storage HDD. Enter the Seagate - Mobile Drive. PS4 had zero issues seeing it and after a format I've moved all the games I wanted off the internal drive (mainly the smaller Indie games) on the Seagate. It couldn't have been easier. The real test was how the games would play off the Seagate and I'm happy to say they played great. I've always been a fan of Seagate and again I was not disappointed with one of their products!
