Seagate Shuri SE FireCuda External HDD - USB 3.2, Customizable RGB LED Cyan, Works with PC, Mac, Playstation, and Xbox, 1-yr Rescue Services (STLX2000402)

If this drive is a USB 3.2 then its an awfully slow one. Below are CrystalDiskMark results of this FireCuda drive, a USB 3.0 external hard drive and an actual USB 3.2 external SSD, shown in that order. These drives were all hooked up to the same USB A jack on my interface card, which is supposed to be USB 3.2, even though the driver says 3.1. The SSD (last image) shows the interface is well capable of 1Gbs read and write transfers. The USB 3.0 drive (second image) is actually a tad faster than this FireCuda (first image) except when it comes to random read/write, which are always really slow on mechanical hard drives. Im only writing this review to alert potential buyers that the USB 3.2 selling bullet is pretty much useless and deceptive. You will be getting nothing faster than a USB 3.0 drive. Im only keeping mine because an 8TB external hard drive with RGB priced at $170 is a decent deal.

Works as expected. Gave my gamer the added storage that he wanted

For quite some time I have found it necessary to purchase memory expansions for video game consoles. The Seagate Game Drive (2TB) for PS4 was a verry nice addition to my PS4 Pro. I had been using my PS4 for a lot of livestreaming/video recording. As a result, I had several video files that were on my PS4 that were taking up a lot of space. The Seagate Game Drive provided a lot of extra space that allowed me to continue recording and saving videos to my PS4 while still allowing me to have adequate space for applications as well as game save date. Additionally, when I connected the game drive I saw other improvements to my console (e.g., loading speed on games as well as the start up screen improved). My only complaint about this peripheral was that I could not save my videos to it. That is what I would have preferred to do but I was still able to free up a lot of space on the console memory by saving applications to the game drive instead. So, it accomplished its purpose quite well.

This drive works as intended in terms of storage and the USB ports. The main issue I ran into is that the provided app for the lighting control does not work with all USB controllers (notably those using the Etron USB 3.0 controller chips). On my computer when I installed the app, it would see the drive but did not have any options for lighting control. I then tried it on my laptop and it worked, so I tried with the drive connected to another (non-USB 3) port on my PC and suddenly the lighting options appeared. Move the drive back to the USB 3 port and they disappear again. Came to the conclusion it had to be the ports, but all USB 3.0 ports had the same issue on my PC. Then I tried it on an old laptop at work that has the same Etron USB 3.0 controller as my home PCs motherboard, and sure enough the lighting options were missing. Its unlikely youd come across the issue on a modern PC as the USB controller chip in question is not found in recent PCs (the PC this is being used on is 10 years old), but be aware if youre using this with an older PC.

Holds alot of games and data I have maybe 13 games and have maybe reached 1/4 of what it can fully hold.. And I also have download big games also.

Im using this on my computer for video editing on Premiere and its working like a charm!

Definitely a must have I was so glad of the price and is so useful

It actually arrived and considering the poor weather and the fact that its the holiday season Im very lucky and it works

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.

Works when connected, if you have problems just turn everything off and reconnect. Dont call technical support, they are in India and know less than an 89 year old
