Seagate Game Drive HDD: So much gaming space
Big enough to fit the biggest game for the console
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.

CASETiFY Match: Finding the right case for your Galaxy Z8 Series phone
Cases that match your personality
A phone case can be more than protection. It can also be a way to show off your interests, personality, and the little things that make you, well, you.
For our CASETiFY Match for the Galaxy Z8 Series, we asked the team one question: Why was this CASETiFY design your Match?
From Spider-Man fandom and capybara obsession to feline-inspired art and snake motifs, here are the designs that found their way into our team’s everyday carry, plus a couple of bonus picks worth checking out.
Rodneil: A little New York energy for a certified web-head
If it wasn’t obvious enough, I’m a certified web-head. I love anything and everything Spider-Man, especially the iconic red-and-blue motif. Though, if we’re being honest, I’m more partial to the red.
I had my eyes on the Spider-Man suit design for the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and the Spider-Man Mask Snappy Grip Stand. Unfortunately, those designs aren’t available for the Galaxy Z Fold8.
So, I went with a design that gives off a bit of New York energy instead. It still pairs nicely with the Spidey Snappy Grip Stand, letting me bring a little of that Spider-Man vibe to my everyday setup.
V: Keeping it cool with capybaras
I’ve been a capybara stan since 2020, long before the world finally caught up with just how cute and chill these animals are. Seeing them get the recognition they deserve has been a source of much excitement.
Finding cool and cute capybara cases and accessories for the phones I use every day, however, hasn’t always been easy.
That’s where Deville Dewil’s capybara collection comes in. It fills that gap while making my Galaxy Z Fold8 feel like an even more personal accessory.
At this point, I’d like to identify as a capy/bara.
Luigi: A cat design that’s playful without being too loud
There’s no shortage of cat-themed cases out there. If you’re a cat lover like me, chances are you’ve considered one at some point.
The tricky part is finding a design that isn’t too whimsical or loud. I love the little furballs, but I still want something sleek and clean.
CASETiFY’s cat collection speaks to that balance. In particular, this design by Catwheezie blends artistry with a touch of whimsy. It lets me show off my personality without being too flashy.
MJ: A little reputation energy
I’ve always had a soft spot for snake motifs, and CASETiFY’s Transparent Kingsnake case gives me Taylor Swift’s reputation era energy.
I love how snakes symbolize transformation. As someone who’s always evolving and never afraid to reinvent himself, that meaning feels personal.
The black-and-white design also brings a sleek, rebellious edge. Paired with my Galaxy Z Flip8, it’s giving statement accessory with a little bite.
Bonus Match: Sunglasses at Night
Sometimes, keeping it simple is the way to go. The Sunglasses at Night design is tasteful and understated, letting me show off the actual color of my phone without competing with it.
Bonus Match: Pink Weekly Planner
For the girls (and gaes) who plan their days–and life–ahead. And of course, for when they need to keep their Wednesdays pink.
Find your Match
There’s no single way to find a phone case that feels right. It might be a favorite character, an animal you’ve loved for years, a piece of art, or a symbol that means something to you.
For our team, the right CASETiFY design is the one that brings a little more personality to a device we carry every day.
So, which design would be your Match?
As one of the wisest sages of the 2000s once said, “He was a punk, she did ballet. What more can I say?” Sometimes, opposites attract. Now, two of those opposites in the audio space are coming together: the punk Skullcandy and the ballet-loving Bose.
Today, Bose has announced its acquisition of Skullcandy. The latter will continue to operate as a separate brand but now officially under the Bose umbrella. Although, it’s not a new collaboration as the two brands have previously worked together on devices before. Skullcandy will just have more access to Bose’s technologies moving forward.
Alternatively, Bose will now have access to Skullcandy’s more varied audience. Compared to Bose’s focus on premium products, Skullcandy caters to more alternative lifestyles. Though the brand has since mellowed from its more radical roots, it is still known as one of the alternative brands.
Bose, on the other hand, is still a household name for home audio and noise-cancelling headphones. The new relationship between two polar opposites might be seen as a weird one, but it’s ultimately beneficial to both parties. Besides, both brands were very strong in the 2010s. Keeping both brands going is a boon to audiophiles of the past decade.
