Pros & Cons
Pros
Seagate 2tb hard drive. Works great for my sons ps4. Went to setting and formatted it and done. Takes a bit of formatting and file type management but there are youtube videos online that walk you thru it. It is, and this one holds that much.
Cons
Thai product is absolute trash! Seagate is a terrible company and they have terrible products. It's nice and small but that positive is more than cancelled by its poor behavior. This thing is trash 100% do not buy.
If that's what you are, you're a waste of money. More lies. Junk and lies. Not true" "i'm not a garbage collector.

All you really require which im not sure if it comes with the hard drive is a high speed cable .

The drive just worked out of the box to complete time machine back up.
Competitiveness
I used this for my ps5 to store and play ps4 games.
I bought 2 of these 5tb drives and now have all my data mirrored from all my pc's dating back to 1995.
I bought this not knowing it doesn't work with a ps5.
I feel my other 2tb seagate that i purchased at costco was a better product but i purchased that one two years earlier .

There are much better backup programs out there both free and paid but was expecting something a little better software wise to be honest

But the only problem is that if you accidentally disconnect the device it seems to be sensitive if you move the usb cord tad bit it disconnect then device will take up to 4045 minutes to repair before reconnecting and if you accidentally disconnect it again then it add another 4045 minutes to repair

We are tech aware but still it takes a leap of faith and a lot of web reading all the same

It is quite heavy so it is not intended for portable use from one place to another
