not a desktop external drive (3.5).
While various Seagate portable drive models can typically be shucked (not sure about this specific version), they are usually approx. the size of a 2.5 inch hard drive shucked. (Edit to add: A video on shucking a portable 5TB Seagate One Touch drive:

For the usual questions about PlayStation 5 Extended Storage, see the
https://www.playstation.com/en-us...d-storage/ page FIRST before asking any questions.
You can store PS5 games and PS4 games.
You can play PS4 games directly from USB extended storage, which lets you save space on your PS5 console storage for PS5 games.
To play PS5 games, you need to copy game data from your USB extended storage drive back to your PS5 console's internal SSD storage. It's much quicker to copy a PS5 game from USB extended storage than to re-download it.

For An extra $10 I can just head to Best buy and purchase my preferred WD brand for the same amount of storage.

I have had bad luck with western digital drives. I've never had a seagate portable fail. To each their own.
I've heard both ways for both brands. From personal experience, I've never had a wd fail on be either.
Personally I've had mixed problems with all major hard drive brands. Some drives last years (have one Seagate desktop drive from 2006 still running). Have had other drives fail shortly after their warranty expired. Only had one drive, a Seagate, fail under the warranty period (5 year warranty) which was replaced under that warranty.
Knowledgeable people will back up their data to multiple drives. Some will go the extra step and mix in different brand drives to their backup pool. Hard drives can, do and will fail so having a backup of the drive to another drive is always a good idea.
As always YMMV.

I've had 4 WD externals from 1 to 5TB that are used frequently and none have failed over 2+ years. I write and delete large amounts of data also. But only the WD My Passport models.
Many Seagate portable drives are shuckable. however because this is a portable drive the drive size is 2.5 inch. Want a 3.5 inch hard drive then go with "desktop" external drives and not "portable" external drives.

With this one you can take it back to Costco and get a replacement whenever it fails. Also, comes with 3 years of free data recovery service which is not cheap when you need it.
