  • Subpar speed, it gets quite warm, yet reliable
Capacity: 5TB Style: BarraCuda 2.5-Inch Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I have transferred to this disk in one session over 2TB of photo files ranging from 10 to 270MB, and around 50GB of small files, ranging from 4K to 2MB, on a MacBook Pro using rsync, and from a fast (1.5GB/s) internal NBVMe drive. The average write speed was just 21MB/s. Blackmagic disk tests credits the drive with 117MB/s in write and 128.1 MB/s in read. Similar figures from ATTO Disk Benchmark, however I do note these test apps use 2GB test files, which may be very well in the drive's caching capabilities. Overall I am under impressed by the speed, but at least it does well the backup job. I recommend the Aoko 2.5" enclosure as one of the few that allows for the 17mm thick 5TB drive. In addition it is all aluminum and sports good ventilation ports, that are mandatory with a drive that can reach 50C in several hours of backup. ... show more

  • Very reliable.
Capacity: 2TB Style: BarraCuda 2.5-Inch Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I have two of these. 2 TByte capacity. Purchased one at a time, about a year apart. I put them into external SATA-2-USB drive boxes, and use them as external and portable drives. They seem to be indestructible. I've mistreated and abused them both. Including drops onto a hard floor (inside the drive box) and immediate read/write use after the drives sat overnight in 25 degree/F temperature in my car. So far, they work great. I cannot comment on their behavior inside a desktop or laptop. ... show more

  • Purpose built
Capacity: 4TB Style: BarraCuda 2.5-Inch Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
This isn't what you would use in a gaming machine. Drive access time read/write is a bit slower than most 3.5 spinning disks. Size is too big for most laptops. But, if you are building a media store on a small platform, this is the best for the money. I'm using it in a Plex server in an itx platform mini case. I have an nvme to handle the os and some high response requirements and this drive is storing the bulk data. Seagate reputation on spinning disks is much improved. I would absolutely recommend this for use in a NAS or as a backup device. ... show more

  • Bought this years ago for my PS4
Capacity: 2TB Style: BarraCuda 2.5-Inch Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
It's worked great the entire time. But with the sizes of some modern games' installs (like, say, RDR2's 100+GB), even 2TB is fairly small. Unless you're someone whose entire gaming catalogue is CoD or something (no offense, I've just met people who play literally NOTHING but CoD), I'd recommend springing for at least a 4TB. That's not any kind of slight on this product, though. ... show more

  • Awesome 4TB HD for Playstation 4!
Capacity: 4TB Style: BarraCuda 2.5-Inch Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I purchased the 4TB model of this HD to replace my PS4 500GB hard drive which was constantly running out of space. Anyone who has enough games or DLC downloaded will know that 500GB doesn't add up to much. Some of the PS4 games are 75GB or more... JUST FOR ONE GAME! So anything less than a 4TB just seemed silly to me! SO HERE ARE THE IMPORTANT DETAILS: -The 4TB model of this hard drive will NOT FIT your PS4 without modification! - YES! It is possible to use the 4TB version with your PS4 if you're willing to do a very simple modification. - If you choose to do this modification the responsibility of the system falls complete on you, I do not advise anyone to do this if you're not capable of doing things to this degree and I will not be held responsible if you mess up or destroy your system. HERE IS HOW TO DO THE MODIFICATION: After you've saved all your data and you're now ready to pull the old hard drive out; 1-Remove the try holding the old HD and just place it away somewhere, YOU WILL NOT BE USING THE TRAY AGAIN! 2- Use small, but very sharp and very strong metal shears to cut away the caging that is covering the area that houses the HD. 3- After you have complete opened the HD area by removing the caging covering it, you will need to place 2 strips of double stick foam tape for the HD to rest on so that it is at the correct height to mate with the plug, this tape will also be what now holds your HD in place. TAKE NOTE; ONLY USE 2 strips of the tape and allow half an inch to one inch in between them! You DO NOT want your HD to over heat and you need the ventilation that only using the 2 small strips will give you. It will also be more than enough to secure the HD so DO NOT use more! If you completely cover the HD slot in double stick foam tape do not be surprised if your system freezes and fails/shuts down/reboots/or fries out. 4-Once you have the 2 strips of tape in place remove the backside of the sticky tape and start to insert the HD at an angle and move it down and you plug it in until the HD comes in contact with the tape (swooping motion) and now your new 4TB HD is installed. 5 - Replace the top of the PS4 unit, I was able to get mine to fit back on with a little bit of play and force. There is a very very very slight bulge, but you would NEVER EVER be able to tell. I will try to add pictures of the HD and my modification, again if you choose to do this all responsibility falls upon you! But it does work and it is VERY easy and simple to do! ***UPDATE*** 12/2018 I’ve been running this HD in my PS4 for a few months now. There is a slight lag/sluggishness at times when multitasking and in the menu. Otherwise it’s been great! Tons of space for what I need! Only way it could be better is if I put a 4tb solid state drive in. Maybe in a future system! PS5? ... show more

  • Great for backing up video footage
Capacity: 2TB Style: BarraCuda 2.5-Inch Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I use this for backing up video stock footage for my YouTube channel. It does what it’s supposed to do and adds a great storage option for the tiny 256gb ssd hdd in my video editing pc.
