Customer Ratings & Reviews

Checked out the good reviews for this online as a PS4 hard drive replacement. Search on YouTube and you'll find a tutorial on how to open up this external drive and remove the hdd inside so you can place this into your PS4 and upgrade to 2TB. In return you can put the 500GB hdd that was in your PS4 into the housing/enclosure and use it as an external USB 500GB Hard drive with your PC/Mac (or even additional storage space for your XBox One, once formatted), rather than it just sitting in a drawer somewhere. Be aware though that once you open the enclosure you void your warranty with Seagate and won't be able to return this but it comes highly recommended and worked for both my friend and I. Good Luck! It's not hard at all. Just watch the tutorial video on YouTube first and you'll be fine. Take your time when opening the enclosure!

I have bought over three external hard drives over the past ten years, ranging from 1 to 3 TB in size. While all of them were adequate, the larger ones, were slower and they all wore out quickly, from the largest to the smallest. Seagate is not only 2 TB in memory size, it is three times faster than any of the others I have owned. it out-performed them all in every category. It is portable, fast, and does not use an electrical cord but gets it's power from the USB cord that it uses for computer connections, so only one cord needed. Just plug into your computer USB port and its up and running.... that easy. I also recommend a small carrying case to hold the portable drive and it's cord for protection. The Insignia™ - Hard Shell Case for Most Portable Hard Drives - Black, fits it to a tee, and the cheapest on the market, a hardshell covered in cloth. It's superb!!! Five stars for both

I wanted a good quick and easy backup drive to store photos from my MacBook Pro(running older version of OS X 10.7). Plugged the Seagate in and installed some easy software that came up on a prompt and everything was some in a matter of min. I like this drive cause I can use time machine if I wanted, but I wanted to use it just as a drag and drop drive to store photos and it works well. Cool small slim design, love how tech moves along into practical sizes instead my old power corded huge hard drives in the past...big as yearbooks!

These Seagate Backup Plus Slim drives are the greatest technological innovation of the decade (so far). Thin, lightweight, portable, rugged and fast, they solve all manner of storage problems. I've benchmarked them using Crystal Disk software and found consistent read rates of 122 Mb/s and write rates of 101 Mb/s. The free 200GB of OneDrive storage is a nice lagniappe.

I like that this drive holds a lot but doesn't clutter my desk. Can also travel with it.

The hard disk is compact, easy to use and got for a great price. I use it to backup photos and videos. I fits well in my laptop bag.

I reserved and picked up in store after 10 days because I was choosed another color. I found a lot of them in black color, but I prefer blue. Is a beautifull and light external hard disk. I have huge files to store.

After looking for a slim portable drive for some time, I finally came across this product....Super fast download rate....plus if you wanted to this will fit inside the ps4 for an upgrade from the stock 500gb

This is such a convenient backup hard drive. It is extremely easy to use. It is a nice size, since it's not too bulky, so you can easily transport it. It is also portable due to the fact that it doesn't need to connect to a wall charger. You just plug this into the USB port, then look for the files you would like to backup, then you copy and paste them. It's that simple. It is also able to store a very large amount so all of your files should fit, for normal everyday files.

I wasn't prepared for how small this drive is, especially when compared with my old one with half the capacity of this new one. Very nice indeed

This was very straight forward and easy to use. I downloaded old family movies onto it so I could get them off the old VHS tapes and preserve the memories.

Purchased it for Ps4 to update the 1tb drive in it to a 2 to since PlayStation has huge updates on the PS4!

When you first feel the hard drive in your hand you noticed a metallic finish on the front and the plastic covering on the rear the plastic covering on the rear has some swirls that acts as grip. The finish I purchase was jet black very sleek and portable. Internally the unit functions very well as a hard drive with use of a high flow or normal USB port. The unit will work more efficiently with a high speed port. The regular port can take some time with reguards to the amount of data begin sent to or taken from the device. Results will vary based on platfroms and hardware. The software that came with the unit worked very well and was user frendly. This portable hard drive is a great value and I would recommend it to you if you're looking for 2 terabytes of storage space that you can fit in your back pocket.

After looking at different name brands offered and reading the reviews, I decided on Seagate. I already have 1 Seagate hard drive but it did not have enough memory on it (only 500 gb) for what I needed. My main purpose is for picture storage for several generations of pictures. I decided on the 2TB for the size which is more than enough but I would rather have too much than not enough. I love the size. It is small enough to carry in a purse and they also offer carrying cases for them. The only complain I have for them is the cord is too short that attaches to the computer (17 inches) but others may like the length the way it is.

Very light and easy to carry in a business trip. Great product.

This was super easy to setup and lightweight. I work out of my home and back office, and this makes it easy and convenient . I bought a second one for our tablo backup.

I really love using seagate for back up of my files

Works like it should. I was searching for a 3, 4, 5, 6 external hard drive but couldn't find one. I don't think they make slim laptop hard drives that size.

I use this hard drive to backup my computer. It is small, portable, and works with no problems.

Plugged it in and followed the screen prompts. Very easy to use and is operating as expected. No problems.
