Pros

It is more affordable than the seagate game drive that is marketed for xbox. Still, ssds aren't anywhere near this capacity. I sync 10tb of my drive to my idrive cloud account which actually is 10 tb usable capacity.



Cons

Mb write speed is far less than any of my many external/portable drives. Hd is dead after a year. Not more warranty with seagate. Seatools is literally unusable on windows.

Used to love seagate drives. Lowered my trust in seagate though, so didn't bother trying a second one. And today i heard it start to crackle, i mean literally start to burn which scared the heck out of me.

    I do not mean the expansion storage card for the series xs by the way

    Although i pray in time that the seagate expansion card will diminish in cost because right now it is obscenely expensive

    I would have kept it if my r4 was legit from aliexpress

    You have to re format it as soon as you get it in order to actually put files on the hard drive

    So make sure you do that first
