## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Essential for any serious console gamers - A god send for my 500gb PS4. Works perfectly and currently leaving all my games installed is quality. The set up is straight forward and you can get all the help you need online through YouTube or forums. It does require a socket to power, and must been connected to the PS4 using a USB cable, which will take up one of your ports permanently. The only problem I've encountered is not being able to wear my gaming headset and play guitar hero at the same time, as both require a USB port. Other than that, it's well worth the money. Size is nice as well, and looks like a decent bit of kit. Been using for about a month now, would recommend to any PS4 gamer who wants more than 4 games installed at once.
Review: Seagate 3 TB Expansion USB 3.0 (bought in 2015) - In the situation that i use this (always plugged in to my xbox one as an external hard drive rather than constantly being moved as a portable hard drive) this has been an excellent storage device that was very easy to set up and has never given me any problems. *Warning* My PERSONAL opinion upon inspecting the sockets and design of this product is that they are prone to wearing out and breaking very quickly if the device is plugged and unplugged alot (ie if it's being used as a portable HDD rather than a permanent expansion) so be forewarned that it's really not suited to the role of "portable" **EDIT** it's now 2022 and i've been using the same external drive daily since 2015 , the reason for the edit is that i think it's finally dying as i've had a couple of disk write errors and several files lost due to corruption. Literally could not have asked more from this equipment and i'll be looking to get whatever the current version is to continue on my external HDD needs. You have my sympathies if you've had a bad experience with this line of external/portable HDDs but in my experience the reliability has been top notch

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how noisy is this harddrive if it needs to be on 24/7?**
A: I don’t know what the others are on about I have 3 of these and all next to one another and it’s absolute rubbish that they make “so much noise”, in fact they are quite the opposite. Yes you get the typical “spinning” noise when the hard drive is in use but nothing too disturbing like the sound of pots and pans being bashed about. Literally some people over exaggerate noise like wth I mean you must have one dodgy hard drive the way you make it out to be when all 3 of mine are quieter than a sleeping hamster. Hope that helps solve your question.

**Q: Can this be used on both PC and Mac?**
A: I would recommend exFAT over FAT32 or NTFS; while NTFS can be written to on OS X it has never been well supported, and FAT32 has significant limitations. Even ExFAT isn't ideal, but it can handle bigger files, copy more efficiently and is supported on Mac, Linux and Windows as standard. You can format drives as ExFat in OS X's Disk Utility.

**Q: Does this product come with a USB cable, or do you have to buy the cable separately?**
A: Yes it comes with the usb cable

**Q: Does it work for Mac laptop owners?**
A: Out of the box it won't but if u format it will read.How to Erase an internal or external drive that is 500 GB or larger and has already been setup with NTFSOpen the Disk Utility.Select the drive.Click Partition.Under Volume Scheme, choose 1 Partition.Choose Options.Choose Apple Partition Map.Click OK.Click Apply.Click the Partition button.The drive will Erase. When it completes, the drive will mount on the Desktop.Takes less than 30 seconds. Job done.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, Small & Pretty
*by S***S on 5 May 2017*

Seagate comes with a big reputation, and for me personally they will always be an extremely solid choice. The fact that all Mac hardrives are supplied by Seagate is a big box tick for me. This drive is no different, it's really fast, reliable, small (smaller than you think) and is really great value for money. I use this drive to back up really large photo and video projects and so far I have nothing to complain about! Pros - Huge storage - Well made - USB 3.0 is very fast - Really pretty new design - Small and discreet Cons - Can be slightly loud, however, it's a physical HD so these will always make noise as there is a disc physically spinning inside! Seagate doesn't have it's reputation for reliability and value for money for no good reason. I would recommend any Seagate product and will be a fan for life!
