Its a great product, it has no faults 8Tb of SSD is brilliant & 1Tb internal, I still have a 4Tb disc drive but with that you have to transfer it to the internal, otherwise it will not work, I still have a 4Tb SSD, I'll plug that back in when the time isright(more games!!)This new external memory is great for gaming console or PC, the difference is like night & day

This seems like a pretty decent device. I have a PC and a laptop connected through switches and a hub, and this hard drive switches between the 2 fine.It needs an external power supply. The cable provided isn't that long, so one to watch out for when you're planning to position this on or under your desk. I had to position it closer to a power source, so it's on the opposite side of the desk to where I wanted it.It's quite noisy. When both the PC/Laptop and the drive are going, it's annoying but manageable. It's to be expected as it's not an SSD and it'll need some sort of cooling going on too I imagine.It has an rgb light, which can be turned off through their software. I'd prefer it if there was a physical button for this instead of having to install bloatware just to control the lights. It's nice that you can control the colours or turn the lights off completely though.Speeds are nothing to write home about, but it was on offer and was an affordable 8Tb drive... it does the job. With it not being a SSD I have a bit more confidence in its durability.It seems pretty robust. It's got a good weight to it, it doesn't look like it's going to fall apart easily.

Fantastic, portable, durable. only wish i went for the 2TB but that is my fault, overall, price is good and its a seemless set up quick and responsive flawlessThe toolkit app gives some nice customization options as well

Seriously disappointed with this "gaming" harddrive.Unable to run even small, simple, single player games without numerous crashes.This harddrive is connected to the dedicated 3.2 usb port, on a pc that's 8 months old, yet it still cannot run a single player game that is less than 1GB in size without stuttering and crashing.All of the games I have tested run without issue when stored on the computer's internal memory, but horrendously on this harddrive.On a positive note the harddrive is super quiet, and the RGB strip is a nice addition. But it simply does not do what it states it can do.Would NOT recommend!

Great product at a good price

I bought this to hold a large collection of media, and whilst it cannot boast the speeds of SSD or NVMe, what it does have is capacity.... a lot of it!There is plenty of competition for gaming products and storage is no different. Usually a 'gaming' storage product would try to differentiate itself by having faster read/write speeds, but Seagate have marketed this product firmly in the large capacity category.The drive itself is not too big, and comes with customisable LED light effects that can sync with Razor gaming equipment, but they don't really add anything for me. The performance is reasonable for a spinning disc, with retrieval of documents, video and photos at an acceptable level.Seagate are known for making good hard drives, so I expect this will last a while, but they also have a data recovery service, allowing you a single lab based attempt to recover your data in the event of a failure. This is a nice touch, but in practice, an online backup service is probably still required for most people.There are more secure ways to store data locally, but for the price, this drive represents good value for money and is certainly doing a good job for me so far.
