To be fair. There are some very bad reviews on Costco. The are currently 273 reviews (as of this posting) of the drive on the Costco website with 206 of them 5 star ratings and 18 one star ratings. A few of the negative reviews are just stupid as the reviewer(s) admit they didn't read the instructions, didn't understand what they're buying, etc. There are some reviews that comment about slow drives. On the plus side these portable Seagate 2.5 inch HDD drives can be shucked unlike the WD portable 2.5 inch HDD drives that have the USB port embedded into the drive hardware.

Costco reviews:
5★stars - 206
4★stars - 35
3★stars - 88
2★stars - 66
1★stars - 18

One should have a backup to their backup if they plan on using a portable/external USB drive like these as their single backup medium.

This is a very slow drive that it's best for backup only. The read/write rate is around 50mb/s. The WD one from Bestbuy is a little faster at 55-60mb/s. The full-size 3.5" ones usually get to be around 110mb/s. For gaming (consoles), you would want an SSD.

I have a pair of these I swap for offline/offsite backup full disk images of my PCs. They're not speedy on write or random access (shingled), but they're perfect for my use case. And they're small, which is important because my offsite data safe doesn't have a lot of room.

The 8TB backup hubs are just too big. And the even smaller SanDisk Extreme SSD (also on sale at Costco) isn't cheap enough or big enough (4TB max) to replace.

They're probably OK for media serving and removable project/library files. Can't speak to use for game storage, PC or XBOX.

need? Nope Lol Any will work to store videos. Though 1080p, 2K & especially 4K video are LARGE files. I would prob just get a large HDD as u get the most for ur buck. this would work fine as an external backup & a pretty good price per Tb.

Getting 400 Bad Request, tried both phone and computer, cookie/cache clear, and a DNS flush with no luck. Anyone else?

EDIT: Used Firefox instead of Chrome and it works now
