Seagate Portable 5TB External Hard Drive HDD – USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, PS4, & Xbox - 1-Year Rescue Service (STGX5000400), Black

As a YouTuber, I generate tons of video footage and need reliable storage to keep my videos safe. Over time, my collection has grown, and cloud storage isn’t always the best option—so external hard drives are a must. I’ve purchased three Seagate drives before, including a five-terabyte and two two-terabyte models, and they’ve all performed well.Now, with my storage filling up fast, I decided to go big with this massive 16TB Seagate drive—and wow, it delivers! It arrived perfectly packaged and right on time, but what really surprised me was the thoughtful inclusion of a kit with international adapters for practically every plug type in the world. That’s an unexpected bonus!I hooked it up instantly, and it’s been running like a champ from the start. This drive is the ultimate storage solution for content creators or anyone who needs serious space. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

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.

Usually, I don't buy Seagate drives, but I got one portable 5TB bought 5 years ago and to this date it's still functional, relatively fast and silent. Because a new project, I needed a heavy desktop external drive, in the 18 to 26 TB range. From all options for sale, the Seagate 24 Tb looked the best option in terms of prize and capacity, so I ordered it through Amazon. The package arrived relatively fast, the box in which the HDD came was intact, when connected the device worked perfectly. But...the first thing I noticed was that the HDD was silent but vibrates so strong that you can feel it in the entire desk when using it. The second thing, for my disappointment, was that the real amount of free space goes down to 22 TB. Yes, I know there's a difference between physical capacity and functional capacity, but in previous experiences with other External HDDs including the 5bTB Seagate personal drive, the difference goes between 100Mb to a 1Tb in worst scenario, because the software included and other factors maybe, but 2 TB absent shocked me. When I added the amount of used space by the visible software include in the device, the amount goes up to 173 Mb, not 2TB.Looked for the help page of Seagate to verify, they say it's normal to get lower free space than the physical capacity. Thats OK, but the 5TB personal drive from Seagate I already use, when used first time the difference was just 0.25 against 4.75 TB of free space available. As far I know, where those 2TB are used it's a mystery. Maybe its something related to Seagate's design (The more physical capacity, less functional capacity). Anyway, the functional capacity still's huge for the purpose used so I will keep the device.

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.
