    Seagate Portable 5TB External Hard Drive HDD – USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, PS4, & Xbox
    This Seagate Portable 5TB External Hard Drive is an absolute game-changer for anyone in need of a reliable and high-capacity storage solution. With a whopping 5TB of space, I’ve been able to store massive amounts of files, including my entire photo and video library, backups of all my devices, and even games for my PS4. It’s the perfect all-in-one drive for anyone with diverse storage needs.Setup was a breeze—simply plug it in, and you’re good to go. It’s compatible with PC, Mac, PS4, and Xbox, so whether you’re using it for work, gaming, or backups, it’s ready to handle it all without any issues. I use it across multiple devices, and the USB 3.0 connection ensures quick file transfers, even for large files like videos and games.The 5TB capacity is truly impressive. I’ve been using it to back up my computers, store movies, and even expand storage for my PS4, and I haven’t even scratched the surface of its capacity. It’s lightweight, compact, and easy to carry around, which makes it ideal for people on the move.What I really appreciate is how quietly it operates—it doesn’t create unnecessary noise, even during intensive use. Plus, the sleek design makes it look great on my desk. The build feels sturdy and well-made, so I’m confident it will last for years to come.If there’s one small drawback, it’s that the cable included is a bit short, which might be inconvenient if you’re plugging it into a device far from your desk. However, this is an easy fix with an extension cable.Overall, this Seagate Portable 5TB drive is a fantastic investment for anyone who needs reliable, portable, and large-scale storage. Whether for work, gaming, or personal use, it’s an absolute must-have! Highly recommend.

      it was hard to beat this 2TB hard drive for the price. it’s efficient, sleek, and relatively small, so it’s easy to use and store. it did take a couple of hours to fully back everything up, but that was expected with nearly 1TB worth of videos, pictures, etc. when loading videos, sometimes they do take a bit longer to buffer, but the videos aren’t damaged, so it’s worth the wait.

      I was expecting, you know, a regular size external hard drive. But this one is about the size of two thumb drives side-by-side! It's so tiny and cute!

      On a serious note, it runs as expected. I was hoping to put decals on it as part of the gift but it was two small. I even measured with a Seagate drive we have. But I was slightly disappointed that it was so tiny. I was only able to fit two decals. One on each side. Honestly the size is probably better anyway. Takes up less space while in-use, and it makes it easier to store. I wish there was an option to have the full size, but I can overlook that.

      Style: Expansion HDDCapacity: 8TBVerified Purchase
      Positives: Enormous capacity. Works straight away when you plug it in to Win 11 machine.

      Meh: Not super quiet. As power savings take effect, you can hear the drive spin up and literally spin down. The spin down is a bit unnerving as you can literally hear the platters inside this drive slowly stop spinning. Never had a drive that made this noise.

      Bad: No power switch. No drive read/write light. The eSata connection/cable is annoying and wish they would have used just a standard USB C able. This is not a fast drive.

      Remains to be seen: Reliability.

      This is super easy to use. I bought it for my father who is not great with computers. He's able to move files from his old computer to this hard drive with no issues at all. 4TB is way more than he'll ever need - worth the price.

      5.0 out of 5 stars This works with iPad, but needs connector hub and reformatting
      Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2024
      Style: Portable HDDCapacity: 2TBVerified Purchase
      $70 for 2 Tb of storage is great, speed okay. The included cable has specific HDD connector on one end, and wide (old USB) on the other. To connect to iPad, an USB-C dongle/ port/ hub/ adapter with connection for external power is required. I own a VAVA USB-C hub, which cost around $40. The Hub plugs into the iPad via USB-C; the external power connects to hub via USB-C; the external HDD connects to hub via USB-A, and also draws power. The second “trick” is to format the HDD using the “erase” feature in IOS 18. Choosing the preferred apple format “APFS”, changes from the default “FATS” which the iPad can read, but will be unable to write. After the Erase/ reformatting step; both read/write functions work without problem. The included instructions do not include the needed information about the need for a hub or reformatting.
