Review: Works With Laptop or Android Tablet - Since I bought this external hard drive for my wife, her review of it follows: My 500 GB Seagate Expansion Portable Drive has been a great tool to store unwieldly huge data files that would otherwise have been impossible to store on the servers at my work. This Seagate drive has been easy to use as the files can be readily saved in folders that can be easily categorized. I found that each day, I find it easier to locate files on the Seagate than on my personal computer, because the Seagate demands a folder to be named as it is created and has directed me into saving files both by date category and also allowed for many sub-folders. The beauty of this device is that I can leave work with just the Seagate and then go home after dinner and plug it into my laptop and continue working on a project without having to power down a laptop from work and then reboot and start up again. It has been easy to carry the Seagate back and forth from work rather than worry about packing up a laptop, unpacking the laptop and also avoiding damage to the laptop from exposing it to more bumps from transport. When I provide Power Point presentations to clients, the 500 GB storage means I can upload huge files and just transport the Seagate and not even have to bring a laptop if the client already has a laptop set up in the conference room. In the past, I noticed that I often worked around the data storage capabilities of my laptop and then had to triage which presentations I had to delete in order to create a new one. I no longer have this worry since with 500 GB, I can upload and save all my presentations without having to worry about which ones will have to be eventually eliminated. Also recently I have attached the Seagate to my new Verizon Tablet and was delighted that it easily worked with the Tablet which means my tablet now has much more utility for me. It is wonderful to carry around just the Tablet and the Seagate instead of a heavy stuffed computer bag. I would highly recommend the Seagate 500 GB Portable Drive as it is reasonably priced, lightweight and easy to use.
Review: Perfect portable drive, especially for the price! - For my use, this drive is just perfect, and the price was great for a 2TB capacity storage device, even better pricing at desertcart than Costco! I'm using this with a mid-2010 MacBook Pro as a backup drive. I've partitioned the drive into two 1TB partitions. I use Carbon Copy Backup to back up my drive. I alternate partitions which allows me to keep 2 copies of the last known-good configurations of my computer. I do a lot of beta testing for Apple and this allows me to be a bit more fearless than if I had only one backup. This drive was easy to work with out of the box. My MacBook Pro can't make use of USB 3, but this drive is backward compatible with USB 2 and performs perfectly fine for my usage. I like the idea that one day, when I upgrade, this drive will give me the maximum speed available via USB. I once had a Seagate drive that went bad after a few years, and I contacted the manufacturer to exercise the warranty. The drive was promptly replaced, without any questions or hassle. It's made me a loyal Seagate customer to know that they stand behind their products. If you're looking for a portable drive with 2TB, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Seagate Expansion Portable External Hard Drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great for upgrading my PS4
*by T***N on August 27, 2014*

After reading an article online about the Seagate STBX2000401 being the best price per gig for using in the PS4, I decided that I'd take my chances and purchase one. I desperately needed a bigger HD as my PS4's HD is almost at its capacity, and this one was the cheapest option that I could find. Since the PS4 doesn't support external storage, the HD must be removed from the plastic case. At first I thought of it as being a daunting task, but it was actually much simpler than I had thought. Once removed, I installed it in my PS4, re-installed the system software, and downloaded all of my purchased content and its working great. Please note that removing the drive from its case will more than likely void the warranty in the event that it would ever fail. It's probably too soon to know if the new drive will fail, but it worked right out of the box and that's definitely good news. I'll be providing updates in the future as to how the drive is performing. Also, it would be a good idea to keep the case and screws so that you can reuse your PS4's 500GB stock HD. You can put it back in the case, reformat it, and use it as a normal portable hard drive. I plan to use mine for my Xbox One since it supports external storage. *Update 8/29/2014* After having a couple of days with no problems, I've gone ahead and put the PS4's stock HD in the empty case and formatted it for use on the Xbox One. Getting it set up on the Xbox One couldn't have been easier. All you have to do is plug it in to one of its three USB ports and the Xbox One will recognize it automatically and do all of the work for you. The storage for both of my consoles has been upgraded considerably and all at the cost of only $89.99!
