Good enough

  • Goes fast
  • Small format
  • Sometimes he needs to wake up

Read and write speed is fine, better than my Synology NAS. Streaming .mkv files (blu ray rips of 30 gb) is also nice.
A lot of space.
Downloading to this disc is sometimes problematic...it seems like he needs to wake up before he writes it.

Ideal for connecting to ps4

  • Works with PS4
  • Easy to connect
  • Quiet

Since the playstation 4 was already full of games after half a year, I needed expansion. I was first looking for a Seagate Drive specifically for ps4, but it was out of stock, so I went for this one.
Since the terabyte of the ps4 was quickly full, I immediately opted for 8 terabyte and I have not regretted it yet. Connecting was very easy and it works perfectly with the ps4. We can continue for a while!
