Can you replace the hard-drive of a PS4 with this null

First, you would want a Laptop/Notebook hard drive to ensure it fits the size requirements, so the desktop sized hard drive would not fit. The standard PS4 hard drive is a 500GB 5400 RPM SATA II hard drive. You can replace this hard drive with any hard drive that complies with these standards, is no thicker than 9.5mm, and is larger than 160GB. Note that 7200 RPM and Hybrid hard drives may work but are not officially supported or recommended, and their effects on power drain are as of yet undetermined. The whole process will take about 10-15 minutes to swap out. I like to use Google and Youtube for walkthrough's and advise on things I am not sure about.

Unfortunately no, the size is a 3.0 and the Playstation 4 uses a 2.0 I made the same mistake once. The ps4 uses laptop drives which are a bit more expensive.

Yes, but you may want to void the warranty first

no. you need to get hard drives for laptops, the sshd by Seagate works great in a PS4 and it is 20% faster. you will like it

Yes you should have no problem installing this in your PS4. There are youtube info on installing it

No, this is a desktop hard drive. It won't fit in the enclosure. Look for one that says "Laptop".

A PS4 supports a hard drive that is 2.5", not the typical 3.5" desktop hard drive. So no, you can't use this hard drive as a replacement. A laptop hard drive would be what you are looking for.

As long as your PC supports SATA drives you can use this drive. All PCs purchased within the last 10 years or so support these drives.
