Seagate Portable 2TB External Hard Drive HDD — USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, PlayStation, & Xbox -1-Year Rescue Service (STGX2000400)

Ive 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.

I bought this hard drive in Feb of 2022 and it is now May 2025. I would have liked it to last longer than 3 years but it has also traveled a lot. I have had no issue with it; the main computer it plugs into is a Macbook Pro but it has also been plugged into Window PCs on an infrequent basis.PROsSpeed of Transfer: FastSize: 5TB, I only got up to using 1/4 of the data space availableEase of Use: Easy! You plug it in and it does it's job (😂)Design: Smaller than my phone, comes with a carrying case that is padded inside and the outside; this case is still in great shape after 3 years.CONsThe cord it came with is USB A to Micro Speed USB B. Which has been great for years until Mac has gone to using just USB C. If you are buying this now, 2025, I suggest you also buy a USB C to Micro Speed USB B cord.I am going to buy this portable drive again, no second thoughts 👍

I'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.

i 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.

This 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.
