Great capacity in a small size.
Very compact size makes it easily portable, it's large capacity is excellent for storing all my photos plus other files and there is still plenty of space left for more.

Seagate 4 TB External Hard Disk Drive
I recently bought this external hard disk drive one evening. I decided on a Seagate product because of their great reputation for quality and endurance. Argos had the best price for this item over all other online shopping routes and it was ready for collection the next day. I started using it immediately and it works beautifully. Thank you

Small package- Great performance!
I bought this 4Tb drive a couple of weeks ago as my 2TB backup drive was almost full. Transfer from 2 to 4 was a breeze although it did take a few hours even running at 40-50 MB/s. Excellent performance and warranty from Seagate.

Hello Hav,
The supplier has advised the following for the Seagate Expansion Plus 4TB Portable Hard Drive:
"Yes, the Seagate Expansion Portable 4TB drive is fully compatible with Linux out of the box, working with standard USB Mass Storage drivers, allowing plug-and-play use for basic file transfers, though you might need to disable the UAS driver (using usb_storage quirks) for advanced functions like SMART data monitoring, which involves simple kernel module adjustments."
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello There.
Yes. The drive uses a USB 3.0 interface, which is backward compatible with USB 2.0. It will work on a USB 2.0 port, but transfer speeds will be slower—around 30–40 MB/s instead of the faster USB 3.0 speeds.
Thank you for using Q & A.

Hello zed,
Thank you for your query regarding the Seagate Expansion Plus 4TB Portable Hard Drive, I can advise
there is no reason why this Hard Drive cannot be formatted to NTFS before use. In fact, formatting it to NTFS can be beneficial, especially if you plan to use it primarily with Windows systems, as NTFS supports larger file sizes and better security features compared to FAT32 or exFAT.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hello Lev,

Hi Graeme,
With the Seagate Expansion Plus 4TB Portable Hard Drive, while this drive is not on the official list of Seagate's PS4/PS5 tested game drives, it qualifies as a drive that meets the specifications set by Sony for being detected on a PlayStation 5.
It will support USB3.0 connection and to be over 1tb in capacity. Please note that the drive will only be able to store games that are designed for the high end graphics for PS5, not play them directly from the drive. You can run games compatible with PS4 directly from the drive though.
Thank you for using Q&A.
