Seagate Game Drive HDD: So much gaming space

Big enough to fit the biggest game for the console

Published

on

When I first bought my PlayStation 4, I honestly thought 500GB of storage was enough to get by. Sure, I had a limited game library at the time but I felt I could fit all of them in the system. As the last two years progressed, however, I basically ran out of space to install my games.

Luckily, I was sent over a Seagate Game Drive for the PlayStation 4 to see if it would actually help me play more games on it. While I wait for PlayStation 5 stocks, I figured I should load up my entire game library into it. Essentially, here’s what you’re getting with Seagate’s dedicated external hard drive for the PS4:

A massive storage for a massive game library

Seagate has a 2TB and a 4TB option for their Game Drives, and that’s quite a massive offering. Compared to the 500GB base storage, you can fit more than 30 games just for the 2TB one. Although, you only get to use just a portion of it after formatting because of something in Sony’s file system.

When I was using the 2TB Game Drive, the PS4 allotted only 1.84TB of it for actual use. To be fair, it is still quite a lot to work with considering I could fit notoriously large games into it (ehem, Red Dead Redemption 2). With the rest of my library, regardless of whether it’s digital or physical, they all fit nicely and easy.

The thing is, though, you could only fit games along with other applications you downloaded into your PS4. Meanwhile, your saves, game screenshots, and your pogchamp gameplay will remain on your system storage.

Your own choice and easy to set up

Depending on your flavor, you can choose between the simpler design or have a limited edition design on it. The one that was sent over was a limited edition Marvel’s Avengers-themed 2TB Game Drive, and I’m a fan of the movies so win-win, I guess. For this collection, you can choose between Thor, Captain America, Hulk, or just all of them together.

If you’re not really down for the Avengers, the other option is the Last of Us Part II edition featuring the title in bold letters. It comes only in a Space Gray finish, and is the same size as the others. If you’re not into designs, the subtle Black one will do.

In terms of setting it up, it’s quite easy out of the box. Once unboxed, just plug it into your PS4 and format it as “Extended Storage”. Give it a few minutes, and you’re good to go!

Compatibility with a PC and a PS5, with slight catches

The other thing is, well, you can actually also use this for your PC as additional storage. If you’re in need of an external drive for your photos, videos, and documents, 2TB is quite large for all of them. That is, if you had done so right out of the box instead of plugging it to the PS4. Otherwise, you’ll have to reformat it for PC use but just be wary of your game library.

On paper, you can use this also for your next-gen PlayStation 5 given it connects via a USB 3.0 connector. Sony confirmed that you can attach external hard drives to the PS5 as long as it follows any of the following transfer speeds. If you want your PS4 game library on the PS5, this surely helps instead of downloading them directly to the PS5’s storage.

G-DRAGON is CASETiFY’s first ever Global Brand Ambassador

Right on time with the brand’s 15th-year milestone

One of K-Pop’s most iconic soloists of all time has finally partnered up with the globally-renowned case maker.

And this isn’t like any other CASETiFY’s K-Pop Collab, this is much grander than that.

i-naugural Brand iCON

You heard that right! CASETiFY reveals their first ever Global Brand Ambassador.

Amassing 25 million Instagram followers, over 1.2 Billion YouTube views, and hitting almost 4 Million Spotify listeners, G-DRAGON has truly marked his footprint as the “King of K-Pop” — more than just being the iconic member of the global hit group BIGBANG.

His long overdue comeback (and world tour) with Übermensch’ last 2025 further proves how massive the VIP (and FAM) community is.

That said, GD’s influence isn’t limited to the music industry alone. Art and fashion have also witnessed his legendary artistry through his PEACEMINUSONE label. That pretty daisy with a fallen petal is the brand’s most iconic emblem you can see around.

The introduction of his fashion line was connected to music as well. It was introduced way back in 2013 during his ‘COUP D’ETAT’ solo promotions which was a true hit. It was totally evident in the album art’s peace symbol minus that one line.

Wesley Ng, CASETiFY’s CEO and Co-Founder (who’s also fashion-savvy), said that “welcoming G-DRAGON as the brand’s first Global iCON is a powerful statement.” This will not only amplify the reach of the already-popular case maker, it will also influence the brand’s creative direction.

After all, one’s artistic expression can be seen easily with the cases we rock out and about.

i-conic CHROMATIC

In line with this milestone also lies a new collection of cases and accessories.

The all-new CHROMATIC Collection is built around two concepts: FORMS & HUES. First, the CHROMATIC: FORMS set is headlined by the premium-made Alloy Ripple Case with an upgraded aluminum material.

Speaking of aluminum, the accompanying accessories are all metallic — from the 2-in-1 cross-body chain to custom cube charms for bespoke personalization.

Meanwhile, the CHROMATIC: HUES adds five new vibrant shades to CASETiFY’s ever-popular Ripple Collection through the Neon Ripple Case. These bold range of colors not only embody users’ creativity and self-expression, it also showcases an individual’s overall aesthetics.

While this isn’t the PEACEMINUSONE collab some of us have initially thought, crossing fingers that will be the next official CASETiFY collab in line.

Pricing and Availability

The brand new CHROMATIC COLLECTION is expected to hit shelves real soon with prices ranging between US$ 10 to US$ 85,

They will be available for purchase on CASETiFY.com and in select CASETiFY Studio retail stores around the world starting on January 26 (Monday).
