Good price for a disk of this capacity
Happy with this drive which I use to periodically back up my PC. Good price from Argos and pick-up from nearby store. Only slight criticism is that it is slightly noisy when reading and writing to disk (it is a mechanical rather than a SSD drive).

reliabliity
important to completely reformat the drive before use, this increases reliabliity

Good backup drive
Decent HDD if you want a backup of all your files. Big storage for good price. Runs nice and quiet. Looks smart. This isn't the drive for you if you're looking for portable or constant use as it's quite big and requires a power socket but for archiving, it's just the ticket. Only gripe is that it spins down to save power when not being used, which is all good, but it occasionally takes quite a while to spring back into life when you try to access it. Aside from that minor irritation I would recommend

Hello Ck,
From the information we have available, I can advise the Seagate Expansion Plus 6TB Desktop Hard Drive should work with your PS4. The PS4 supports external hard drives with USB 3.0 and capacities up to 8TB. However, since the Seagate Expansion Plus 6TB is a desktop drive that requires its own power source, make sure you have a suitable setup to accommodate this.
When you first connect the drive to your PS4, you will need to format it for use with the console. This process will erase any existing data on the drive, so ensure you back up any important files beforehand.
Thank you for using Q&A

Set-up is straightforward. Simply plug in the included power supply and USB cable and you are ready to go. It is automatically recognised by the Windows® or Mac operating system, so there is no software to install and nothing to configure. Saving files is easy too, just drag and drop.
Take advantage of the fast data transfer speeds with the USB 3.0 interface by connecting to a USB 3.0 port.
This drive requires a PC or Laptop to access files, documents, photos, music etc.

Hello FatKat,
I can advise the following for the Seagate Expansion Plus 6TB Desktop Hard Drive:
This is stated to run on Windows 10 or above as well as Mac OS 10.12 or above. However as this is a plug and play device, the software that is included with the hard drive may be the limiting factor as well as the USB 3.0 speeds. You may find it will work but at USB 2.0 speeds and the included software won't be compatible. XP is now an unsupported system for most manufactures as Microsoft has also dropped support for it.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Nick.
The Seagate Expansion Plus 6TB Desktop Hard Drive is a mechanical HDD (hard disk drive).
