Hello Joe08,

The Seagate Expansion is compatible with most Windows and macOS systems.

Connecting a Seagate USB hard drive to a SMART TV may be a way to quickly enjoy photos, music, or video files on the television, but we suggest to consult the TV manufacturer's User’s Manual for USB compatibility, capacity limitations, and supported video & audio formats.

For detailed information about the Seagate Expansion, please check on the data sheet and the products website:

Hello TLB,

The Seagate Expansion Drive meets the requirements to be used on Wii U since its USB 3.0 port is backwards compatible. However, since our labs haven't tested any of our drives on the Wii U, we cannot assure that it's compatible with that console.

My HD blue light blinks constantly, regardless of recording or static. Is this normal? My Dish Wally receiver and the HD work just fine, but the light blinking is constant. Thank you.

Hello AJ,

The Seagate Expansion Drive works out of the box with Windows OS since it comes formatted NTFS. To be used on MacOS the drive needs to be reformatted.

These are the system requirements for this drive:

- Windows® 10 or higher, or Mac OS® X 10.12 or higher operating system (Compatibility may vary depending on user’s hardware configuration and operating system.)
- USB 3.0 port (required for USB 3.0 transfer speeds

For more details, please check on product's support site: https://www.seagate.com/support/external-hard-drives/portable-hard-drives/expansion-portable/

I bought this hard drive for my grandson for gaming. He is on a windows based system and it works fine. I believe that the hard drive supports ios based systems as well but you would probably have to reformat the hard drive for the ios system.

I'm not using it for PS4 storage but it does have the USB connector you would need to plug it into the front of the console like a charging cable. It's detachable from the external drive itself if you need to remove it from the drive for whatever reason but it does come with the cable.
