Product Information

Full details

The Seagate Astro Bot Limited Edition Game Drive is designed for PS5, PS4, and PC gamers who need substantial additional storage capacity wrapped in a unique, collectible aesthetic. Offering a massive 5TB of space, it allows users to keep an extensive library of titles readily available, though its reliance on a spinning hard drive architecture means it does not offer the same ultra-fast loading speeds as a dedicated internal NVMe SSD for native PS5 titles.

FAQs

Can I play PS5 games directly from this drive?

No, PS5 games must be stored on the internal SSD to be played. You can store them on the Seagate drive and move them to the console when you wish to play.

Can I play PS4 games from this drive on my PS5?

Yes, PS4 games can be played directly from this drive when connected to a PS5.

Does this drive require an external power source?

The drive is powered via the USB connection to your console or PC.

Will this work on a PC?

Yes, the drive is compatible with PC and can be used for general file storage or gaming.

How many games can 5TB hold?

It can hold approximately 60 game titles, though the exact number depends on the size of each individual game.

Troubleshooting

The console does not recognize the drive.

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected and try a different USB port on the device. Verify that the drive is formatted for external storage in the console settings.

Performance seems sluggish during game transfers.

Ensure you are using a USB 3.0 or higher port. Avoid daisy-chaining the drive through a USB hub.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Large 5TB storage capacity fits a vast library of games.
Unique Astro Bot branding and aesthetic design.
Simple USB plug-and-play installation.
Excellent for storing large game collections without deleting files.

Cons

Cannot play native PS5 games directly from the drive (must be moved to console storage).
HDD storage speeds are slower than internal PS5 SSDs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply plug the drive into an available USB port on your console or PC. When connecting to a PlayStation console, ensure you follow the on-screen prompts to format the drive for "Extended Storage." To ensure the longevity of your drive, place it on a flat, stable surface away from magnetic interference or extreme heat. Always use the 'Safely Remove' feature on your PC or the 'Stop Using Extended Storage' function on your PS5 before unplugging the USB cable to prevent data corruption.
