It took a while but I think that’s because I’m in Guam so shipping here does take a while. Otherwise it works great and I can use it to back up games from my ps4&ps5. Awesome to the max.

Holds a lot of games or anything else you wanted to hold and it's not that big so it doesn't take up most of your table I recommend this

I’m a big gamer and my 1TB HD just isn’t quite enough space. Spent a few days looking at SSDs but the prices for those are ridiculous. I use a Seagate external for my PS4 games and that’s been working great for years so I figured I’d see what they have for PCs. SSDs aren’t any cheaper but, based on what I was reading, an HDD would be more than good enough for the games I play.First thing I tried to do was move Rainbow Six Vegas from my PC to the Firecuda. It didn’t move the game, it just copied it to the HDD (I’m leaning towards that being more of a PC thing than hard drive thing though). If that wasn’t annoying enough, the transfer speed was atrocious. I’m talking less than 100KB/s at times and never more than 9MB/s. Takes me maybe 2 minutes to download the game itself and I had to sit around waiting for nearly 30 minutes for it to be put on the Firecuda. Good news though, the game played without a problem.Next thing I did was uninstall Rainbow Six Vegas 2 from my PC and install it directly onto the Firecuda in the hopes that it would be faster. I was wrong. The “allocating hard drive space” step that usually takes about 1 second took more than 30 minutes by itself. Once that was done, the download took another 30 minutes. Again, this is a game that takes me about 2 minutes to download and install straight to my PC.After that, I decided to try and send the entire Ubisoft folder from my PC to the Firecuda. Maybe 250GB of data and it was going to take 9+ hours. That’s insane. Canceled that.4th thing I did was install Far Cry 5 to the Firecuda. The “allocating hard drive space” only took a couple minutes this time though so that was an improvement. Then again, it took almost 3 hours to download the game to the Firecuda. Once it was installed, I tried playing it. Started up just fine. Game even played perfectly for about 2 minutes until the frame rate dropped down to single digits, and it never went back up. I had to drop the graphics to the lowest settings and the game still only ran about 20fps. This is a game that I had been playing on Ultra just a couple days ago without any problems whatsoever.Went in and checked the Firecuda to make sure it was running right (the best I could anyway since I’m not great with PCs) and, according to the message that popped up, everything was running correctly without a problem. Then the Firecuda froze and completely locked up my PC. Had to do a hard reset.Next game I tried was Ghost Recon Wildlands. Same as before, incredibly slow install and once I got into the game, the frame rate dropped to 100% unplayable levels.That’s when I gave up. Disconnected the Furecuda (correctly if it actually matters when you’re extremely annoyed and fed up) and decided to play some Division 2, a game that was still installed directly on my PC. And I could not believe it when the frame rate dropped just like FC5 and Wildlands. The game became unplayable. Quit the game to restart my PC and the thing froze on the “restarting” screen. Another hard reset.Everything has started workin again perfectly after turning my PC back on without this trash hard drive connected to it. Every game has returned to running without any problems as well.

That it did not work for the PS5 as an external hard drive. It states that its a gaming hub but apparently was not able to work with the PS5. It works for laptop or pc just not for PS4/PS5 to play and download games.
