Seagate Game Drive for PS5 2TB External HDD - USB 3.0, Officially Licensed, Blue LED (STLV2000101)

I recently purchased the Seagate Game Drive for PS5, and while it’s a solid external HDD, I wish it had been clearer in the description that you can only store PS5 games on it. You cannot play PS5 games directly from the drive, only PS4 games.That said, the drive is reliable and offers ample storage for my gaming needs. It’s a good solution for expanding storage, but keep in mind its limitations for PS5 games.

I ordered for my husband since he's always running out of space. Easy to install and move games from console to here. It's very fast process and small so he can take with him. It works great and connects super easy!

For some reason I could only download PS4 games on this device. NOT PS5 games. This disappointed me since I bought it purely to store PS5 games. Of course it's still 2 TBS and stores my PS4 games good but come on. It just makes me mad a little bit but I'm not gonna get rid of it of course. Don't buy if you're trying to store PS5 games on it.

I would have bought an internal HDD (the 2TB WD- Black) but I went ahead and bought this due to pricing and amount of storage. I now have over 20 games saved to this drive including all of my game captures. I have only one drawback: you're moving games back and forth. I'm not worried about corrupting saves as it seems pretty straightforward forward DO NOT UNPLUG from your PS5 (safe eject feature available when planning to store or move console). However, If I want to play a game that has 150 GB that is currently not on my internal drive, I have to move over (or previously delete) 150 GB worth of games to the Seagate and then copy the one game that I want to play. The copy process (moving the game back to the internal) takes a few minutes (10 -15) as you skip the "hard download" you would normally get from downloading a game as it is a local download and not a wireless download. The drive looks cool, isn't that much of an eye-sore as it is hidden from my view, and after much use, would pick this option again as it freed up a lot of space from my internal drive, which had a way higher price point then the drive along with less storage. Recommend it to anyone looking to boost their storage situation as we all know 1TB is NOT enough when new games average 80GB - 150GB a game.

Very good storage drive! Setup is extremely straightforward and it arrived in tip-top condition.

Buyer beware. Through no fault of the product itself you can only save the actual games and apps to this external drive so you can free up space on the console. You CAN’T SAVE actual saved game data. Of course this is why I bought it! Sony only wants you to save game data in the cloud. You can back up ALL of your saved game data to a flash drive however. Under Settings/System/System Software/Back up and Restore/Back Up you can choose what to back up onto a flash drive. Only copy Saved Data and Settings as the others could exceed your flash drive unless you have a large capacity. Unfortunately to restore all of this you have to restore all. You can’t save or restore individual game saves.

Very bright light which I cant sleep with but other than that no complaints. Takes roughly 15-20 minutes for a game between 30-70 gigs i’ve never had it take longer than 30 and I downloaded Baldurs Gate 3 (140 gigs give or take). A simple USB connection easy to pack and run just remember not to unplug it willy nilly you have to go to the playstations settings and disconnect it there

Great love it alots of space however if you like to put your PS5 into rest mode it will keep working won't shut off
