Hardcore Gamer: "The leading manufacturer in hard drives has embraced the gaming industry as of late, especially when it comes to consoles. It may be a smaller market than enterprise and mainstream PCs, but it’s still a community that’s incredibly dedicated towards the best experience possible. While Seagate has yet to really offer a dedicated solution for PlayStation users, mainly because those devices require taking a few things apart, the Xbox One’s external drive support makes things easier for Seagate to capitalize on. "
Seagate:
We’re super excited to announce that Seagate has expanded its storage capacity for PlayStation PS4 and PS5 consoles with our officially licensed external Game Drive and Horizon Forbidden West Limited Edition Game Drive—available in up to 5TB.
this is cool. Nice to see them make themed drives for PS. I have several of their themed ones for XB but only the standard black for PS. Hope they continue and make ones for GT and GoW as well.
On XB, Seagate made Sea of Thieves, Halo Wars, Gears 5, Gears 4, Jedi Fallen order, Cyberpunk and Halo 5... just to name a few.
I'm guessing it's because in a comment about a product only usable on PS he managed to squeeze in two references to Xbox.
I think its because he is constantly first comment and advertising for xbox on a lot of articles about Playstation. Its a bit tiresome tbh. For instance Im here to ask about what drive people recommend for my PS5, but his comments derail other people’s comments into a xbox vs Playstation and people lose focus on what the article is actually about.
Im sorry to offend. I was simply stating how the lack of themed accessories for PS are fewer than XB. And this is a good first step [from Seagate] to address that. I listed some other examples not to promote, but to inform how Seagate made others and how they can make more for PS.
And hdd arent the only area where the ratio of PS to XB is in need of balancing. Controller stands (like one from controller gear) is criminally underrated. They have way more matching stands for XB than PS. I follow Razor (owner of controller gear) and they have started making color matching stands for DS but that doesnt absolve them for their lack of effort for DS4. There are lots of themed controllers (i should know) that do not have an appropriate stand for PS.
Now when it comes to the games I play... sure I may do mre XB than PS. But when it comes to collecting systems, controllers and accessories.... im pretty passionate about both.
@S2. If you want good bulk storage, the 4tb game drive is reliable. It is small in size but quiet and quick. If you want something bigger, they also make a 3.5" size in 5tb up to 8tb. Those require external power where as the small ones are powered by the console.
The mass of comments before his that are flagged is inappropriate and spam perplexes me, when most of them seem fine. Lotta people getting triggered here.
Seagate drives are horrible, I learned to just pay extra for WD.
lol why?? they're going to sell you a regular hard drive with a picture on it and then mark it up, while selling the same regular version for a lower price... and if you're on ps5 this does little to help anything as you need to run ps5 games off of the internal NVME drive
"if you're on ps5 this does little to help anything"
Pretty sure having the likes of warzone that takes over 100gb is better on one of these than the limited space the internal SSD inside the ps5.
Whats the best ssd i can get for my PS5 and how do i transfer my already saved content to it guys?
The three I hear most people mention are the samsung 980pro, WD SN850 black and the Aorus 7000s. Pricing can be pretty close to each other or sometimes you can find them on sale. Right now amazon has the aorus for $60 off. Has the heatsink already installed and is very fast for the ps5.

Transferring content is easy. once installed you just go to the settings menu to storage and pick the content you want to move and just click move. You can even set a default location for game installs so each time you put a game in it will default to that drive.
Also the Seagate Firecuda or the Sabrent Rocket 4 plus who also sell a heatsink that replaces the PS5's nvme cover.
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon is offering big discounts on various portable external hard drives for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC gamers right now. If you're looking for a new portable hard drive for one of these gaming systems, make sure to take advantage of these deals to save up to 50% off of your new portable hard drive."
Hardcore Gamer: "Among the handful of hard drive manufacturers, Seagate remains as one of the more recognized brand names for consumers and professionals. While there’s still a fierce battle over the PC space, Seagate seems to have a dominance on consoles. You can buy any hard drive to use as extra storage on your Xbox One, but Seagate is packaging drives specifically for Microsoft’s console. We’ve already seen a handful of these over the last couple of years, going as high as 4TB, alongside an impressive Solid State Drive, but now Seagate is upping their game with an extensive 8TB hub. Not only will you have an incredible amount of storage at your disposal, but an extra USB connection, as well."
Im researching some 8tb hhds. need one for X. I hope Xbox ups the hhd space from 16tb to like 32tb. haha
I just picked up the 4TB Seagate Game Drive in green. I'm still downloading games to it. The nice thing I didn't know is you can simply plug and play into any Xbox One and sign in and start using the drive. With 3 Xbox One's in my house it really makes it convenient. When X launches I'll be able to simply plug it in and access all my games. Hopefully by then they will come out with a larger drive for the 4K downloads. I'm not looking for a drive that needs it's own power supply.
yea death, I love that about hhd feature plug and play factor is cool. I have a 5tb but that going to PS4 soon as I get a nice 8tb and I want an external ssd
Yeah was looking at this as well ahead of the X rolling out since I will need more than the 2TB I have now. The only real knock I can see if the vibration / noise factor. Also not crazy about it being "powered". May opt to look at the 4TB non-powered version instead.
Find it a bit bizarre that the One X wasn't designed with a removeable 3.5" drive.
That and not being able to export save files are the One's (any iteration) biggest flaws. The 360 has a removable HDD, which makes the deficiency in its successor all the more nasty.
You save files are stored in the cloud. You log into another Xbox and game and it will sync with your account. No real need to "export" a save file anymore.
plug and play external drives really eliminated the need to have a removable internal drive.
Well it is quite small, if they could not put one in the OG One (literally was overkill and had plenty of room. They certainly were not going to do it with something even smaller than the S.
IMO it should of came with a 2.5 swappable simply due to HDD failures being the most common and fixable HW issue. A year warranty on a console with an irreplaceable HDD should be illegal lol.
I was looking at getting this, but then I realized there are cheaper, just as good 8TB external HDD options and it only comes in white. I have an OG X1 and will be upgrading to X1X so it will need to be black.
