Overview
A crowded console shelf or a TV stand next to a PlayStation is where this licensed Seagate drive plugs in by USB. It stores a big library, runs previous generation PlayStation games directly and parks current generation games until you want them back.
Huge capacity ends the cycle of deleting and redownloading games. Current generation titles cannot run from it, so they need moving back to internal storage first.
Who it's for
PlayStation gamers with large libraries get licensed, plug and play storage. Players wanting to run current generation games externally need an internal SSD upgrade instead.
Pros and cons
- Officially licensed for PlayStation
- Bus powered, no adapter
- Plays PS4 games directly
- Plug and play setup
- Cannot play PS5 games directly
- Mechanical drive slower than SSD
- Warranty only in the title
Performance notes
A spinning hard drive transfers at moderate speed, so moving large current generation games back takes time. Older generation games load from it at speeds close to that console's original internal drive.
