Seagate Game Drive STGG8000400 8 TB Portable Hard Drive - External - White, 4.6 in x 1.6 in x 7.8 in

I was looking for a backup drive for my photos and videos I create and this drive is perfect for its price. After formatting on my Mac mini it shows exactly: 8,001,293,385,728 Bytes. Speeds (BlackMagic speed test) Read 176MBps and Write 175MBps - not too bad for a backup drive at this price and capacity.

Ho avuto con mio enorme stupore inizialmente qualche problema nel farlo riconoscere al mio xbox one x, ma staccando e riattaccando il cavo in dotazione con le diverse porte USB alla fine lo ha visto ed ha avviato una semplice procedura di formattazione dove con un paio di passaggi sono stato pronto a trasferire buona parte dei dati che avevo sullhdd interno ormai saturo. Ho anche scaricato una cinquantina circa di giochi col game pass e sia in fase di copiatura che di download non mi ha mai dato alcun problema. Coi giochi si comporta egregiamente risultando velocissimo, forse anche meglio dellhard disk originale interno con caricamenti e salvataggi super rapidi. 4 gb infine garantiscono per quanto mi riguarda un investimento per il futuro garantendomi tutto lo spazio necessario senza più pensieri. Esteticamente si presenta compatto, con il logo xbox ed un colore bianco molto gradevole che si sposa bene nel caso di mobili chiari in salotto (peccato la console esista solo nera al momento).

Bought for family laptop/PC/phone backup emergencies. Reasonable price- shout out to hotukdeals Does the job

Hard Drive Disk Esterno bello da vedere, che unisce lutile e il dilettevole.

This tiny box, this little box of wonder. Now I dont know what a terror byte is, I, like you assumed it would be a monster taking chunks out of my soft pink flesh. Like that crack whore did when I told her me asking for directions was not code for rumpypumpy! I needed a tetanus shot! But this box didnt bite me. Instead it has shown me what a sad individual I am when all of the electronic documents of my life barely fill a quarter of it! its made me sad and depressed.

I use this for my xbox one x and xbox series s even though it was from the warehouse it looks perfect nothing wrong with it and i have had it for 2 years and it still works perfectly I have recommended it to others Im going to get another for my pc

Nice small size. Good quality xbox embossed case. Unfortunately it wont work with PS4 (March 2021) despite other reviews here saying it does. Error code screen attached. Further checks online show the issue being the fact it has a hub attached.

feels well built, looks good although its advertised for use with an xbox, it works well as an external drive for my pc.

I really enjoy this products aesthetic. The engraved surface looks and feels much greater than it looks in the photo. This unit came formatted with NTFS / MBR. However, I found that it has less capacity than advertised. Please see the comparison with Samsung T5 2000 GB drive. Windows 10 shows 1,950,386,618,368 bytes = 1816.44 GiB = 1.77 TiB (= 1.95 TB) instead of 1.81 TiB (= 2 TB). Because all the hard drive manufacturers define 2TB as 2,000,000,000,000 bytes, it is NOT a binary/decimal conversion problem. It really lacks capacity. I dont know if my unit has a defect, or the other units are the same. I left an inquiry on Seagate customer support, but they didnt try to understand the real capacity loss. They repeated that it will vary by how I initialize the disk even though they provided pre-formatted drive. I was advised to check the capacity with Seagate Seatools. I found Youtube videos that use this drive in XBOX and show 1.7 TB available, while WD Elements show 1.8TB. If it is intended, I assume that the 50GB might be a reserved space for CMR caching for this SMR drive. Fortunately, Ive never seen any SMR-related performance drop yet. At a desktop PC, one USB 3.0 port showed 130 MB/s read and 30 MB/s write, while another USB 3.0 port showed 130 MB/s read and 130 MB/s write. It might be a power delivery problem. If your unit shows very slow write, just try on another USB port. Finally, Crystal Disk Info shows SATA300 / SATA600 transfer mode, which means the internal SATA3 drive is connected with SATA2 USB bridge chip. Even though the enclosure looks fantastic, you will not be satisfied if you replace the internal hard drive to any SSD.

Got this for my son who needed more storage for his xbox games, cant fault it. I know there are cheaper models out there but as I am not savvy with games console storage I thought it best to go with the one that is made specifically for the xbox. I wasnt disappointed - my son loves the fact he doesnt struggle with storage now, I went for the largest one I would afford.
