Pros & Cons
Pros
No lag or trouble playing any of the games downloaded on the hard drive. Noticed no depletion in load ups etc. Seagate is a trusted brand and i;ve never had any issues from their products.
This is the primary storage i use for a fan-less windows 10 pc which is my media server. One is already full and i like multiple backups, so i purchased another. This is great to expand storage for a ps4.
Cons
It's very slow and it loves to go to sleep which causes applications to lockup. The new disk was also damaged with defective areas discovered in testing software. Had a power outage last night and now the drive is not mounted and unrepairable.

All you have to do is format it first on the ps4 and then once its connected anything you download will go straight on the hard drive.
Price
So glad i got this bad boy on sale.
This backup drive offers a lot of storage at a reasonable price.
Shipping
The seller delivered the two drives very soon after i ordered them in plenty of time for my trip.
It was fast and a delight to backup 4 terabytes!
Needed the external drive quickly, they delivered.
Amazon was cool and paid for a replacement cable, and the drive seems to be doing okay.
Competitiveness
I prefer seagate hdds because in my opinion, they are more trustable to another brands.
For comparison still same dimension as 1tb seagate portables but for bulk about the same as stacking 2 of the 1tb for compariso... Read More
