Seagate:
We’re super excited to announce that Seagate has expanded its storage capacity for PlayStation PS4 and PS5 consoles with our officially licensed external Game Drive and Horizon Forbidden West Limited Edition Game Drive—available in up to 5TB.
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon is offering big discounts on various portable external hard drives for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC gamers right now. If you're looking for a new portable hard drive for one of these gaming systems, make sure to take advantage of these deals to save up to 50% off of your new portable hard drive."
Hardcore Gamer: "Among the handful of hard drive manufacturers, Seagate remains as one of the more recognized brand names for consumers and professionals. While there’s still a fierce battle over the PC space, Seagate seems to have a dominance on consoles. You can buy any hard drive to use as extra storage on your Xbox One, but Seagate is packaging drives specifically for Microsoft’s console. We’ve already seen a handful of these over the last couple of years, going as high as 4TB, alongside an impressive Solid State Drive, but now Seagate is upping their game with an extensive 8TB hub. Not only will you have an incredible amount of storage at your disposal, but an extra USB connection, as well."
Im researching some 8tb hhds. need one for X. I hope Xbox ups the hhd space from 16tb to like 32tb. haha
I just picked up the 4TB Seagate Game Drive in green. I'm still downloading games to it. The nice thing I didn't know is you can simply plug and play into any Xbox One and sign in and start using the drive. With 3 Xbox One's in my house it really makes it convenient. When X launches I'll be able to simply plug it in and access all my games. Hopefully by then they will come out with a larger drive for the 4K downloads. I'm not looking for a drive that needs it's own power supply.
yea death, I love that about hhd feature plug and play factor is cool. I have a 5tb but that going to PS4 soon as I get a nice 8tb and I want an external ssd
Yeah was looking at this as well ahead of the X rolling out since I will need more than the 2TB I have now. The only real knock I can see if the vibration / noise factor. Also not crazy about it being "powered". May opt to look at the 4TB non-powered version instead.
Find it a bit bizarre that the One X wasn't designed with a removeable 3.5" drive.
That and not being able to export save files are the One's (any iteration) biggest flaws. The 360 has a removable HDD, which makes the deficiency in its successor all the more nasty.
You save files are stored in the cloud. You log into another Xbox and game and it will sync with your account. No real need to "export" a save file anymore.
plug and play external drives really eliminated the need to have a removable internal drive.
Well it is quite small, if they could not put one in the OG One (literally was overkill and had plenty of room. They certainly were not going to do it with something even smaller than the S.
IMO it should of came with a 2.5 swappable simply due to HDD failures being the most common and fixable HW issue. A year warranty on a console with an irreplaceable HDD should be illegal lol.
I was looking at getting this, but then I realized there are cheaper, just as good 8TB external HDD options and it only comes in white. I have an OG X1 and will be upgrading to X1X so it will need to be black.

Hardcore Gamer: "Over the last couple of years, Seagate teamed up with Microsoft to bring Xbox One branded external hard drives (both HDD and SSD) to the platform to better extend the storage for players. They have been unable to do this with the PlayStation 4 due to hard drive restrictions, but fortunately that changes. Thanks to those restrictions being lifted a few months ago, this has allowed Seagate to start development on hard drives specifically designed for PlayStation 4."

Uh whats the point of this? I mean you can use any external HDD with USB 3.0 on both PS4 and Pro.
Well the point is to sell water to a well, obviously. It's just like gaming headphones.
this is cool. Nice to see them make themed drives for PS. I have several of their themed ones for XB but only the standard black for PS. Hope they continue and make ones for GT and GoW as well.
On XB, Seagate made Sea of Thieves, Halo Wars, Gears 5, Gears 4, Jedi Fallen order, Cyberpunk and Halo 5... just to name a few.
That's cool stuff
lol why?? they're going to sell you a regular hard drive with a picture on it and then mark it up, while selling the same regular version for a lower price... and if you're on ps5 this does little to help anything as you need to run ps5 games off of the internal NVME drive
Whats the best ssd i can get for my PS5 and how do i transfer my already saved content to it guys?
