Nope! I replaced it and haven't had a single problem

If it's a 2.5" (it appears to be) it will work. I haven't tested it on a PS4, but it runs smoothly on the Wii I softmodded (You can't normally do that with a Wii, but because only the software is modded, no hardware is affected). I would assume it should run just as well on better hardware (Considering the PS4 is the most powerful console right now). Note: The Wii uses USB 2.0 and you have USB 3.0 (yours is better). I was worried about it working on my Wii, but it should easily work on yours. Hope that helps.

There is no comparison to a hybrid drive, but I've not experienced latency on this drive.

Answer

If you're doing it, I recommend 2 TB. Make sure it's formatted FAT not NTFS.

I have used this hdd in my PS3's and the 2tb's in my PS4's and they have worked great for all of my consoles.

We used this to expand my son's PS4. There were no hickups at all. In fact there were no issues at all.

No issue, backed up Ps4 following a google search. Took about 8 hours to change over, and account log in. Not problems PS4 works better.

I'd pass on the hybrid and just buy a ssd if you're worried about speed. Your still limited to the cache size with a hybrid. A western digital black edition or seagate velociraptor would be a good drive too since they are 10000 rpm. I'd imagine people complaining about speed are people buying 5400rpm sata 2 or 3.0gb/s drives. A solid state will be your best bet honestly though if you're after a speed increase.

I haven't had any loading problems nor latency. Been using mine for a month with no problems. I play digital copies of MKX and Elder Scroll.

It works perfectly with a PS4. I personally wouldn't pay more for a hybrid. The increased speed difference isn't that great for the extra money. This one works great in my PS4.
