So glad I got this bad boy on sale. It's pretty compact for 4TB, data transfer is fast, and it feels solid and safe that any potential falls (why would I drop it? who knows) or heat won't really bother it.

My first purchase on Amazon, I received a brand new item, in the result test came without formatting and so the file was not detected on TV, after formatting without changes unlike the support tutorial that did not work, everything works wonderfully,
At Amazon, the purchase experience exceeds all major competitors thanks to the winning credibility in ordering and following the item.

Is just what I needed, I had one on my Xbox One for a while and it works perfectly (take into account it is pretty much on 24/7) and now I have one on my PC. The transfer speed whe I installed it in my PC varies, if it were numerous small files it was really fast, but if it was a single large file the speed would be 3 times slower; strill, a couple of days and I was done and now I don't suffer for space anymore!! 😀

Perfect for console and PC backup

Reviewed in Canada on November 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

I can't speak for anyone else since hardware can sometimes be fiddly depending on a number of factors, but mine worked straight out of the box. Plugged it into my laptop and was instantly recognized by Windows 10.

It's been hooked up to my PS4 for about 2 hours as of this writing, and knowing it's a mechanical drive with moving parts, it's dang near silent while having dozens of games downloaded onto it, and it generates very little heat. It's surprisingly hefty too, which is a sign of a quality product.

The drive actually reads as ExFAT when you hook it up to a PC, and to use it for extended storage on a PS4 for example, it needs to be formatted to FAT. Keep that in mind if FAT isn't what you need it for. If that's the case, you can format it completely on a PC, then partition the drive as much as you need to. The PS4 handles the ExFAT to FAT alteration perfectly.

The drive also reads as 3.63 TB instead of 4, so keep that in mind when making a purchase as it doesn't give you a full 4 TB. This is common with any drive.

I believe this drive is also rated at 5400 RPM, which is standard. It isn't fast, but it's huge, and small to boot. Also, it comes with its own special USB connector, so a micro USB that you might use for a phone or XBOX One controller won't work with it, so best to not lose the cable or you're going to be having a bad day.

Assuming I ever need another one of these, I'll most likely purchase the same drive again in the future.
