You can install several desktop/PS4/XBox One games, put the drive in your pocket, and take it to your friend's place or another one of your computers. It's also great for backing up your saved game files if you don't have access to the cloud on your PS4 or Xbox One. You can also use it as a normal external drive for transfering large files. However, the HyperX Savage EXO might not be your best option in these cases, as the Samsung T5 and Seagate Fast are both less expensive and performed better in our tests.
