Very impressed!!!!!
Ok so like many of us, I don't write reviews, this thing was just delivered this morning and all I can say is....GET IT. for starters, the price is perfect for what you are getting... Seriously, go look around for legit external hard drives and you will see them between 200 to 250 at like best buy etc... buying a hard drive online is...sketchy to say the least... Hit or miss and sometimes you run into drives that are totally fake and make it look like they have a lot of storage though fake partitions and tricking the system. Idk how they do it but it happened to me before as well....twice. Since my PS5 decided to no longer to no longer detect my original 8tb drive (my fault I suppose I was unplugging it incorrectly when I moved it to another room several times)... At least this is my assumption. It does work on my PC and I tried everything to get it to work on my PS5 again... I have over 600 games stored on that drive and I wasn't looking for to it. Well, this device showed up today, in wonderful professional packaging, the design of the enclosure looks similar to the PS5, soles with cables, ac adapter, a stand to keep it from tipping over easily, and it was a simple plug and play. Let me say that again... Plug.and.play. meaning, it was detected as a PS5 drive just like the way it was advertised. I don't know about everyone else but, small things like this along with a little quick start guide in the box just helps make this feel like it came from Sony and not from a company I haven't heard of before. This is the way you show pride in your product! Now for all I know, this was an old server hard drive, purchased super cheap and put inside of this enclosure. Truth is, it's a storage device, you never look at it once you hook it up! But the entire experience is what makes it feel like a quality product. So far in about 3 hrs I have nearly half my games installed, speeds are fine, loading is fine, drive is quiet, lights up white like my PS5, it's just great. Go get it! Read more
