- Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2025Style: Portable HDDCapacity: 2TBColor: PORTABLEVerified PurchaseIve been using this thing for a long time already, and really don’t have anything bad to say about it. While the PS5 (original for me) can’t play games from this directly, it’s still a very good option for storage. At 2 TB it holds a lot of games. It does take some time to initially move them into the drive, especially if you’re moving several things at once, but it still ends up being worth it in my opinion, as most games copy in less than 10 minutes versus potentially taking several hours to download. It’s also good to know that once you’re done with a game, you don’t have to move it again as the copy of it is already stored on the drive, so you can just delete it and be done, and copy it again if you feel like revisiting it.
As a bonus, the drive not only can also store PS4 games, but the console can play those games directly from the drive, and has done so flawlessly. That makes this a great option for managing your console storage and maximizing the amount of games you can play at any given time.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2025Style: Portable HDDCapacity: 1TBColor: PORTABLEVerified Purchasei always get nervous buying third party PlayStation products because sometimes they can be janky, but i’ve needed a new extended storage for some time now so i bit the bullet and bought this one and i’m pleased. no issues hooking it up, it instantly let me move games over and also download games directly to the storage. you get 1TB of storage which is great for the price tag, and it holds a good 60 or so games easily (depending on the size of the games you have downloaded). the only downside actually is a PlayStations issue, its the fact you can’t put Ps5 games on the storage, it allows Ps4 games only to be transferred on or downloaded on. overall i do recommend this product, and if you don’t want to drop loads of money on the same amount of storage i recommend this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2025Style: Portable HDDCapacity: 4TBColor: PORTABLEVerified PurchaseI've had the same one for years now and have had no issues with it whatsoever; this is a number one seller for a reason. As someone who not only needs that extra space but for it to also be portable and mobile, as well as durable and with fast speeds, this is truly a staple in the market. Even though it's been several years since it started selling, it remains a top seller due to it's sheer quality and reasonably affordable pricepoint. And when I say it's durable, I mean I've bumped, thudded, dropped, accidentally unplugged without safely ejecting, and it still has had no issues, no file corruption, no failures. As far as heat levels go, I have felt some heat coming from it during extended/intensive sometimes use but nothing that the built in cooling hasn't been able to handle. It's very easy to use, simple software setup, quiet as a mouse and has a simple design that doesn't really draw any unnecessary attention to the device itself should you care about it being private or unnoticed.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2025Style: Portable HDDCapacity: 5TBColor: PORTABLEVerified PurchaseThis gets the job done for sure. It's a bit slow to write files to, but I've been spoiled by SSDs for years now. Suits my needs to store shows and movies for my Plex server at a good price.
Just be warned that this HDD is formatted in NTFS format. Meaning, a Mac can only read from it, and cannot write to it or reformat it natively. Luckily I had a Windows laptop lying around, so I reformatted it to exFAT on that, plugged it back into my Mac, and reformatted again to HFS+. Just an annoying hurdle to be aware of.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2025Style: Portable HDDCapacity: 2TBColor: PORTABLEVerified PurchaseThe Seagate 2TB External Hard Drive with USB 3.0 is an outstanding storage solution that delivers top performance, reliability, and convenience. With its generous 2TB capacity, it easily handles large files, media libraries, and system backups, making it ideal for both work and entertainment needs.
The USB 3.0 interface ensures lightning-fast data transfer speeds—significantly faster than USB 2.0—making file transfers quick and efficient. Its plug-and-play functionality means there’s no setup hassle; just connect it to your computer and start using it immediately.
The sleek, compact design makes it highly portable, and its solid build quality gives you peace of mind when carrying it around. It’s compatible with both Windows and macOS (with quick reformatting if needed), offering great flexibility across devices.
Whether you need it for backups, expanding your storage, or keeping important files on the go, the Seagate 2TB External Hard Drive is a top-tier choice.
Rating: 5/5
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2025Style: Expansion Desktop HDDCapacity: 8TBColor: DESKTOPVerified PurchaseIt is a HUGE flash drive! Just kidding. It a bit slow compared to an internal drive and maybe to other USB drives but this is the first one of its kind I have had so I have nothing to compare it to. Up to now I have had a certain amount of disdain for large USB drives but this one has cured this attitude problem. And I also have to observe that I have only had it for a week or two so all my positivity may be premature: we will just have to wait and see. I any case it is great to be able to eject an 8TB drive and plug it into another rig. Anyway, I am loving it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disque fiable - Softwares disponibles
Style: Portable HDDCapacity: 4TBColor: PORTABLEVerified PurchaseCe disque dur externe est alimenté par la connexion usb. Sa vitesse est de 130 MB en écriture de fichiers volumineux, ce qui n'est pas mal pour ce type de périphérique.
Je conseille de l'inscrire et de s'inscrire chez Seagate qui offre, à ce moment, toute une série de programmes allant des diagnostiques des disques (temps de fonctionnement, état du disque,...) à des méthodes pour faire des backups, ou les utiliser en mode semi-raid (duplication automatique du sauvetage des fichiers sur disque externe). La documentation pour installer et utiliser ces softs est très bien réalisée et peut, le cas échéant, permettre de sauver votre installation lors d'un crash.
