Review from PS4 perspective
This product for the price-point is worth it's quality. The advertised Terabyte capacity, as many who understand that when hard drive space is formatted some available space is lost isn't off by too much. I purchased this product as extended storage for my Playstation 4. The device was immediately recognized and was able to be formatted in a matter of minutes. The remaining space was appx 920 GB and the slim design does not take up much space (about the size of a pocket Bible). The cord included is long enough you potentially do not have to set the device on top of the Unit it is being connected to but on a nearby platform. Highly recommend.

It was working good then all of a sudden it stop
Stopped working after a few months of using. I used it on my ps4 for an external hard drive. After a few months it no longer read the fine. The light turns on but it didn't read on my ps4 or computer.

    Great little device for all your stuff.
    Great little backup device, have one on all of our laptops and PCs. Been using Seagate for years with no problems including a 10TB for home networking.

    Makes my jobs easier!
    I am a designer who owns my own business, so I have a ton of files on my computer. When they were all on my computer, it was so slow it was painful. Now, they are all on this drive, and my computer is like new again. Another bonus is I can design at home and just safely remove the drive and put it into the shop computers, whichever one I need to use. I highly recommend this drive!

    It was readily available as soon as we plugged it into our Xbox One, but if it gets the slightest bump or movement it can become disconnected. If thought it's actually plugged in still it doesnt read its there

    Cheap and effective
    I have a bunch of these because they work so well for my backups. They are fast enough that the backups get done quickly, they are small enough to fit on my desk, and they are easy to transport. Just as important, they are inexpensive.

    WORKS FOR NEXT GEN CONSOLE
    I bought the 2tb for my next gen console (Xbox) which only holed 450 gb but when I added it jump up to 2tb it's really easy to set up when you first connect it it will ask for media use or games use make sure you press the game one if your using it for more consoles space

    useful yet slow as molasses in January.
    Unfortunately, the only good thing i have to say is that it was very quiet and it was a pretty black color. I dont know about saving you game endings or whatever it is yall do with these drives. I mainly use my drives for transferring and holding data and files temporarily, anyway, this drive was agonizingly slow, oh my lord. they make it a point to emphasize in bold that it is a usb3 at that you should be getting 60-80 mbps realistically. I tried this thing on 3 different computers and the most I got on a very good day with nothing running in the back was around a max of 22mbps and a frustrating average about 17.... reminding me alot like the old 2.0 usb.

    Failed after 4 months
    Failed after 4 months, It does have a warranty so after you go though all the trouble shooting steps you can start a return online and you can return to Seagate at no charge to you, however I had sensitive data on drive and don't think that I'm comfortable sending it in, so I will probably just eat the cost of a new drive and just destroy my old one to keep my data safe.

    Impressed with this purchase
    I've used Seagate drives before, and Walmart has them at a very affordable price. These are much easier to work with than comparable drives from other companies. They were delivered lightning fast by Walmart (I can't imagine how they did it, it was at my doorstep less than 24 hours after ordering and I live in a rural area, not some city within delivery distance) and packaged moisture-proof.

    Freed up my XBox space!!
    I'm loving the fact that I don't have to make room on the power strip to plug this in. It gets its power from the XBOX through the USB. Just hook it up, the console will sense the device and take you through formatting. Now I can download my games and not have to sacrifice anything because of memory.

    FAILED after 3 months!!!
    GARBAGE. I have around 20 ehds and Thai is the first time I've ever had one fail on me. And of course, I trusted it to keep important photos and documents on it. I will never buy another hard drive from Walmart. I usually buy from Amazon, and I will go back to that.

    Short lived !
    Great item WHILE it worked . My PlayStation updated and restarted one day and I couldn't get the HD to work on my game or PC . If they offer a warranty, I would probably still get .

    Just do it.
    My brother recommended this for me when I wanted one for my PS4. It is so simple and works great. My console gaming is on point. I just received mine but he's had his for years so I know it's good quality.

    Needed
    My husband, kids, and I play a lot of Xbox games. This is exactly what we needed. It has plenty of storage for the games we need to have installed, but not so much that the price is astronomical. The brand is highly recommended and works perfectly for our XBox One S.

    No cable
    It didn't come with the necessary cable. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but if so that should've been made more clear

    Excellent storage option
    I use this for backing up my computer. I use Windows 11 and use the native back up option. Seagate software for back up is included in the drive. Software is for Mac or PC but it's easy for me to use the MS option in the OS. It would be great for storing pix or any files you want to stash on the drive. It's slim so it would transport easily.

    This works for Xbox Series S
    Please read: I honestly didn't know if this was going to work for my Xbox Series S, but it actually did, I went from having a 500gb internal storage to 2T external storage. I transfer all my games and tested them to see if they worked and to my surprise it didn't disappoint. I highly recommend this product if your lacking storage for pc or gaming consoles. The only thing I recommend is that if your playing games optimized for Series X or S just leave them in your internal storage because they won't work if you save them to the external storage but you can always keep them in your external storage when your ready to play them to your internal storage, hope that wasn't confusing lol Any other game not optimized for series X or S model will work when playing on your external storage.
