Not being a computer savvy person, I can't handle this. Is it safe for me to plug it in and expect it to work, or do I need to pay more for expert installation? Will it work?

As long as your computer has a USB port, you can take it out of the box and plug it in. With it, you will find a cable that will enable you to do this. Be sure to read the instructions that come with it before you start using it for formatting. There are some formats that are better for Macs and some that are better for PCs, but do not worry, the instructions will explain how to choose the right one. You don't need any specialist to set this up.

In terms of the drive itself, it is good
3/5

It is a great drive for storing your files, but it has one big flaw which almost makes me return the two I purchased. Its USB cables fell out of sync and both units would no longer work after backing up and transferring files without being moved. Both drives had been suspected defective and I was almost ready to declare them useless. The new cables have been great, and I am glad I tried them before returning. In general, both drives work without any problems now. If you do decide to buy this drive, you should not rely solely on the cable that comes with it. It's a good idea to get a good cable for it, too. Due to this, I decided to take away two stars.

This feature will NOT work with the File History or System Backup features of Windows 10
3/5

It appears Windows 10 recognizes the drive, so if you want to move files manually from your primary drive, that should be fine. I got an external HDD for the following reasons: You can backup your files and system in Windows 10 using the File History feature. Because of some strange reason, Windows requires you to backup to an external drive or a network location and does not allow backing up to your internal hard drive. Additionally, it does not automatically back up to this drive. Initially, it is beginning to run--it adds some configuration files--but then it stops and leaves no data on the file. Perhaps there is some kind of conflict between this HDD and Windows. As I mentioned, Windows doesn't like long file paths (which is why I can't use OneDrive because I never know which files will be excluded), and saving files to this external drive makes the path even longer, so that each file, regardless of its name, is A dealbreaker like that could not be worked out. If this HDD is unable to sync with File History or take backups, it shouldn't be advertised as compatible with Windows 10. To be recognized by the system is an important first step, but that's not for what I'm interested in. In the event that I need to manually dump files, I can make use of one of my two internal hard drives. There is no point in wasting time and aggravation on this.

This is the memory on the PS4
5/5

My boyfriend bought it for me. It worked great for his PS4 thanks to the 4TB external hard drive. It is stated that some of the memory was used for converting, yet the amount of space that he had originally is 7x what it was. I will update my review if he encounters any problems.

I will update the review after going through a two and a half year gap. The server is still running smoothly!.

Please read this if you are a MAC user
4/5

A MUST IF YOU ARE A MAC USER! My first two "failed" drives were returned, and I contacted customer service to try and figure out why I could not troubleshoot via any online methods, or get this to work on my Mac! I didn't find this eeeasy solution in any of the forums I searched, even though I thought it was an insanely easy fix. Disk Utility offers three views when you are using it, and that is what causes the issue with erasing/formatting on a Mac. Please see The problem can be solved by viewing all drives and doing an "erase" on the top tier drive.

There are 2 TB of Heaven available
5/5

This thing is awesome. I am so glad I finally got it. The 500GB I had was no longer enough for my PS4 so I was looking to get this. For a new game, I had to delete some of the ones I'd played from time to time. It was very easy to set up the PS4 as it came with the settings to format it. I choose to let it stay there since I have the space.

Installation was also very simple as I already had the settings for formatting. but it was quick in terms of formatting. The fact that I have so much extra space now is such a great relief. What are the advantages of 2TB over 500GB? It's a nice jump, I must say. Lastly, the price is right in my price range. As much as I didn't want to go too expensive, I still wanted something decent. Because of my roommate, I was aware of this external hard drive. During Black Friday (I didn't get it; It was unfortunate) and it has not caused me any problems. My opportunity came up to purchase it, and I was able to find it here at a good price. Overall, I would highly recommend it.

It is the click of death
3/5

With a click of death, the first drive failed to start upon arrival. Given the fact that failures happen, I had to give them another chance. The item was returned to Amazon, a replacement was sent. The second drive lasted less than a week before going dead after clicking *click* *click* *click*. We sent it back for a refund. We felt that two failed drives out of two are too high for a third attempt.

The perfect complement to the Xbox One
5/5

The Xbox One X setup is simple. The 4TB version I got. . . It is estimated that the external drive and 1TB on the machine will be able to hold 35+ 4K HDR games, so I should be able to acquire new games for several years, and have another USB port if I need an upgrade in the future.

This is small & fast, and I like it
5/5

All those documents that were clogging up my computer are now easily accessible on this hard drive. This image shows you how to reformat the hard drive so that it can be used by Mac users. You only need to click four times. Then find "disk utility" in your Mac's search bar, select the new hard drive, and then in the popup box where it says "Format", click on the drop down arrow next to "Mac OS Extended", then click "Erase". Once you do that, you can start dragging your documents to the drive. Thanks :) It's affordable and works great There is a lot of storage space!.
