Pros & Cons
Pros
Great portable hard drive. Can be used with macbooks and windows. I have it setup for my xbox one and download all my games on it. It hooks up perfectly to my mecool km2 android tv box. It's on-par for a disk that uses smr, pc, ps4, xbox.
Price point is what really made me purchase this one over anything else. Arrived when promised. Bought 3 western digital drives.
Cons
Today, with no warning, it's completely inert. When it is plugged in, the blue power light comes on for a few seconds.
I'm out thousands of dollars because i have to make it right with my clients for their videos and audio footage being destroyed by seagate" "please use my experience as a cautionary tale to check one's drives immediately upon purchasing them.
Used it for 2 months. It's useless unless you want a one time use disposable drive. Waited too long to return it so use it as a doorstop. Do yourself a favor & use a different company all together.
Highlights
Quality
Thanks to the two free monthly games that come with the ps+ subscription, my internal hard drive filled up super fast.
So, embrace the quirky and dive into the infinite vault of digital treasures that awaits you with the seagate expansion 8tb!
Price
I have purchased several over the years, all still work, just know that a 6gb is really 5.
Packaging/appearance
Like a trusted old friend, it's ready to help from the get-go.
Good product, will probably buy another pair of the 4tb model to swap out the 3tb as our hardware aging policy dictates.
Competitiveness
I have well over 100 games and still have at least 2tb of storage left.
Very nice xbox or ps5 storage device
My 6tb external drive has already got about 1tb used up.
I still was about what i expected from a low-end 8tb seagate archive hdd.
