Reviewed in Australia on 29 October 2020

This Thunderbolt 3 Device is Absolutely Amazing, but with some Reservations about many Thunderbolt 3 Devices and their Ability to Work with Windows vs Apple. The NVMe slot is a dream for all Tech savvy users. The Glow Lighting is much more delicate than MOST of the RGB Lighting that has insulted our eyes for years.I have purchased a few TB3 Devices now and have experienced results that are both compelling and appalling with Windows Based PC'S. Finding Software/Firmware that makes these High End Devices work is at Best Obtuse. I Sent my Amazon purchased FireCuda Dock back to the Manufacturer after they could not troubleshoot it over the phone nor even remotely. They said they would replace it but suggested that MSI (my new notebook- Prestige 15 )had updated firmware for TB3.
I had already spent innumerable Hours with MSI, Seagate and Intel.I had earlier sent my Notebook back to MSI together with a smaller TB3 External NVMe SSD and they said it worked fine after resetting Windows (which I had done 3 times myself - with no positive result)
My Daughters Macbook Pro 2020 recognised this device.The New Firmware does not work. I need help right now , like the Luke's Graham Song.

The 500GB model is 5000MB/s read and 2500MB/s write

Reviewed in Australia on 15 October 2021

The ad for the 500 gb stated "maximum sequential read and write speeds up to 5000MB/s and 4400MB/s". Not correct, write is only 2500MB/s. A Samsung Pro 500GB is 6900 5000

Disque USB3 (mais pas le cable ...)

Reviewed in France on 29 April 2021

Capacity: 4 TBStyle Name: External Gaming Drive PS4/PS5Verified Purchase

Pour vérifier que le disque fonctionne, j'ai commencé par le brancher à mon PC portable sur un port USB3 , et j'ai lancé une copie de 2 fichiers de 5 Go. Et là énorme déception : un débit USB2.0 de 20Mo/s comme sur un vieux disque dur de l'an 2000 !!!

Je me dis que ce n'est pas possible, alors je lis tous les commentaires des clients car ils sont nombreux. Visiblement tout le monde branche son disque sur la PS4 , donc sans vraiment se rendre compte qu'il ne tourne pas en USB3.
Et heureusement en lisant les commentaire 4étoiles je lis le commentaire suivant :
"Je conseille se produit qui est de qualité, avec un beau design avec un espace important (4To dans mon cas) et qui plus et, ayant une taille se rapprochant d'un Hdd 2.5 et non 3.5 (donc alimenté simplement par le câble USB, pas besoin d'alimentation secteur).

Mais par contre si je retire 2 étoiles c'est pour la médiocrité du câble sois-disant 3.0. Je n'ai pas réussi à dépasser les 36Mo/s et ceux sur pas moins de 3 ordinateurs différents (compatible 3.0).

Après avoir changer le câble (échangé pour le test avec un autre Hdd qui fonctionne normalement) celui-ci monté à un taux d'écriture de 80Mo/s (de base) et pouvant aller jusqu'à 110Mo/s (les piques).

Donc je n'ai peut être pas eu de chance, mais si c'est le cas de tout le monde, je vous conseille d'acheté un câble 3.0 à part si vous êtes dans la même situation que moi (car sur PS4 36Mo/s max pour joué c'est pas possible il y a des ralentissement)."

Et voilà ... Je change le cable avec celui d'un de mes nombreux disques durs, et là je passe de 20Mo/s à 145Mo/s soit encore mieux que l'autre client.
Bilan : le disque dur marche très bien mais pas le câble qui est en USB2.0

Franchement c'est une honte, c'est bien la première fois que je vois ça ... Quelle économie de misère !
Je vais donc commander un nouveau câble pour mon disque, ce n'est pas très glorieux pour ce disque qui en dehors des promos est quand même vendu à un prix qui n'est pas spécialement économique ...

Capacity: 4 TBStyle Name: External Gaming Drive PS4/PS5Verified Purchase

Habe mir diese externe Festplatte am 31 Mai bestellt, 4 Monate später spinnt sie rum.
Festplatte wird nachdem ich die PlayStation in den Ruhemodus versetze, nicht mehr erkannt. Muss meine Konsole daher AUS machen, die Festplatte abstecken, Konsole an, warten bis sie hochgefahren ist UND dann anschließen, damit sie erkannt wird. Oder die Konsole so oft Neustarten, bis die Festplatte dann erkannt wird, und dann von der PS4 „repariert wird“.
Schade eigentlich. Weil an sich hat die Festplatte gut was hergegeben. Größe 2 TB USB 3.0. ich habe keinen Unterschied festgestellt ob ein Game grade von der internen festplatt oder von der externen Festplatte angespielt wird. Meiner Meinung nach liefen sie immer gleich schnell. Nur mit dem ständigen neu starten Nerv mich, und frage mich wie lange das wohl noch gut geht, bis sie komplett den Geist aufgibt.

Bought for the PS5..........

Capacity: 4 TBStyle Name: External Gaming Drive PS4/PS5Verified Purchase

It's a good and easy HDD to use, unbox it and plug it in. I got a message when I first plugged it in my Playstation 5 asking if I wanted to format the HDD, select yes and away you go
Don't get me wrong, it does the job as intended............ BUT the transfer speed isn't the fastest on the PS5............ Maybe look for a External SSD?

Typed in “External Hard drive for PS5”
This came up at the top.
Plugged it in and doesn’t work.
I have one for my PS4 and it’s a good HD.

AVOID! Bricks after a year.

Don't hardly ever write reviews, but since this product cost a lot of money and is now basically a expensive door stopper, I feel the need to join the many other disappointed consumers who have put our trust into Seagate only to be ripped off.

Lesson learned on my behalf to do a little more research and read all negative reviews first!

Can't even get a refund as it's passed the date.

Don't buy this disk. Waste of money. Worked just a few months.

Do not buy this disk. It was working fine at the beginning but after less than a year it stopped working. I care about all my electronics, and this disk is not an exception. It just stopped working. Waste of money. Tried to get some support but it was just useless, a waste of my time and energy. I wish I knew this before I spent around 100 pounds on it.

USB NOT WORKING

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2021

Capacity: 4 TBStyle Name: External Gaming Drive PS4/PS5Verified Purchase

I like the amount of space it gives my PS4 but I CAN'T USE It even though in the description it says USB 3.0. For me to format it i have to use my other external storages USB so I'm guessing the cable is defective. Is there way for me to get a cable that works cause again it says its 3.0 and my ps4 says it must be 3.0 or later
