## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Spacious, Fast, and Easy to Use - This Seagate Expansion 4TB external hard drive is exactly what I needed for backing up my files and media. Setup is plug-and-play—no complicated software required—and USB 3.0 speeds make transferring large files fast and hassle-free. The drive is compact, portable, and solidly built, making it easy to store or take on the go. With 4TB of space, it comfortably handles my growing collection of photos, videos, and documents. Overall, a reliable, high-capacity storage solution that’s good value for money and highly recommended.
Review: Perfect for PS4 storage, internally AND externally! - Complete and utter satisfaction. That's honestly all I need to say in regards to this, especially if you're thinking about using it to upgrade your PS4 storage. With a bit of jiggery-pokery, you can use this to get your 500GB up to a much better 2TB (well, technically 1.7 TB but that's still a load more!) easily and cost efficiently! And it gets even easier for external storage! There's plenty of video guides online on how to upgrade the PS4 using this Seagate drive but I'll give you a quick guide; For external memory, simply plug it into one of the front USB ports of the PS4, go to 'devices', select 'USB storage devices', choose the Seagate, format, BOOM! You can now upload your games and apps straight to the 2TB harddrive via USB! Internally, make sure you've synced your trophies to PSN, and backed up all your saved data, captures, saved data, and (optionally) your applications to a USB drive beforehand. Also, you're going to need to have the current PS4 system update file handy on another USB drive to incorporate into the system later (fortunately, I had a spare 500GB external harddrive so I used that successfully for both backup and update file). Once it's all backed up, you'll then need to prise open the casing of the Seagate, take the 2TB drive out of it, and replace the 500GB with the 2TB. You will need a screwdriver for some screws here and there but they're not too big an issue. Just make sure you keep them safe when you've unscrewed them. Once the 2TB drive is nice and secure in the PS4, plug it back in, hold down the power button for 7 seconds, and enter rest mode. Here, you're going to initialise the PS4 and install the software file on the USB. Once that's completed, restore your save files and clips, start redownloading any games and applications you want to play, and you're good to go! As I say, there's a vast amount of videos on YouTube that can guide you through the process easily so don't worry! You'll get it done! Admittedly, upgrading internally is the longer and slightly more complicated option. But in my opinion, it's much more worth it. This way, you don't have to worry about USB port priorities (headphone users, extra controller users, etc.) and you can also use the 500GB drive as a spare external harddrive once you've swapped them (plenty of guides for that, too)! It really isn't all that difficult to do. It's just a bit time consuming. But honestly, in the long-term, it's so much better. All in all, the Seagate Expansion 2TB harddrive is a must-have if you're thinking about upgrading your PS4. I've read some reviews saying it doesn't work or it won't fit. Honestly, I had no problems at all with this, and hopefully never will! Happy gaming!

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little drive
*by A***X on 1 October 2020*

I bought this drive to try and help salvage my ailing iMac (which in itself is a rare thing). The internal drive has started to fail, and I needed to get stuff off quickly. I used this drive to actually run the Mac OS on, based on a 1.1TB time machine imagine that I had taken a few days before. I have to say, I am pretty impressed The drive itself comes well packaged in a neat box, with only the required amount of materials (no wastage here). Inside the packaging is the drive itself, which has a nice look and feel to it, and a proprietary USB cable that provides both power and data transfer in 1. Keep this safe, its an unusual cable so not sure how easy it would be to replace. I connected the drive, and set about formatting it to the right volume type to be a bootable MAC HD. Formatting was done quickly and I was away - able to install the OS onto the drive from a time machine backup, and have been running off it since. The drive itself is not silent, but neither is it noisy - you know its working by the blinking blue light on the top of the drive - but that's about it. I plan to velcro it to the back of my Mac so that its up and out of the way Size wise its about 25% bigger than a deck of cards, but also about 25% slimmer. The drive gets warm through use, but not hot and nothing to worry about. Read and Write speeds seem pretty good, and i am able to make use of nearly all of the 2TB of storage. I plan to use the drive for extra storage on my Xbox One once I have finished using it to run the Mac OS. Really pleased, and would recommend a good drive at a great price.
