Seagate Shuri SE FireCuda External HDD - USB 3.2, Customizable RGB LED Cyan, Works with PC, Mac, Playstation, and Xbox, 1-yr Rescue Services (STLX2000402)

hope the warranty stays good on it so I don’t loose all my games though, I heard seagates really good about that but I’ve also heard the opposite

If this drive is a USB 3.2 then its an awfully slow one. Below are CrystalDiskMark results of this FireCuda drive, a USB 3.0 external hard drive and an actual USB 3.2 external SSD, shown in that order. These drives were all hooked up to the same USB A jack on my interface card, which is supposed to be USB 3.2, even though the driver says 3.1. The SSD (last image) shows the interface is well capable of 1Gbs read and write transfers. The USB 3.0 drive (second image) is actually a tad faster than this FireCuda (first image) except when it comes to random read/write, which are always really slow on mechanical hard drives. Im only writing this review to alert potential buyers that the USB 3.2 selling bullet is pretty much useless and deceptive. You will be getting nothing faster than a USB 3.0 drive. Im only keeping mine because an 8TB external hard drive with RGB priced at $170 is a decent deal.

There is a lot of confusing information on the internet about what is it isn’t compatible with the PS5. This is from the seagate website: External drives on USB Hubs and External Drives with USB Hubs built-in are not compatible with PlayStation 5 (PS5). This includes the following Seagate products: Backup Plus Hub Backup Plus Hub for Mac FireCuda Gaming Hub FireCuda Gaming Dock Game Drive Hub for Xbox I think I was mislead because lots of websites seem to think just because it can be formatted to the PS5 standard of exfat it will work. Not true. Further the reviews on Amazon are all mixed together for a dozen different seagate products depending on which size drive you pick. Some work fine but the game hub style do not. If you want an 8 TB external storage drive for your PS5 buy the WD Black D10 8 TB. Do be aware you will not be able to play PS5 games from the drive. You can play PS4 games directly from an external drive but PS5 games must be installed on the internal drive. You can buy an SSD to expand internal storage. All that said I want to mention the the seller was great, very responsive and helpful. 5 stars to them. 1 star to the confusing mix of reviews on Amazon and the internet at large

This was super easy to set up and my PS4 did it automatically for me. I love that you dont have to plug into an outlet and it only needs the PS4 or PS5 to power it. It does take a long time to upload games into it but can do it in the background while you are doing other things. I havent downloaded anything off of it yet. Looks exactly like in all the pictures.

Recently I picked up a PS4 Pro and quickly was filling up the console storage. Decided to look at a few different external portable HDD. Felt that the 2TB drive would meet my storage demands. This drive was Official Licensed for Playstation. Normally that means a slightly higher price point, but this was a great deal. Connected the drive with the provided cable to my PS4 Pro and formatted the drive. Moved my downloaded games over to the new drive. Took a good day, but was well worth it. My PS4 Pro now has space on the original drive. The new drive has my currently downloaded games and games Im currently playing. No noise or heat issues. The drive works perfectly with the PS4 Pro. The front has the PS logo and Seagate is molded into the front as a big S. This is again the portable drive (no power cord needed) gets power from the provided cable and the PS4. See photos. This drive also has a 3 year warranty, nice. Hope this was helpful.

Works as expected for PS5

Haven’t transferred files to it yet but it is connected and formated

Very good item

works great! never fails me and holds all the games I couldnt have before. super reliable! easy to install as well. i had it for a couple of months and the only downside is sometimes when I turn of my ps4 and go to play one of the games its super glitchy. i just restart my ps4 and it works normal again. doesnt happen very often at all maybe like once ever 2 months which I dont mind.

Got it for my oxp2 with some Velcro it’s going to look awesome!
