“Does this work for PS4 I saw it worked for Xbox One, but will it work on PS4 too?, I want to make sure it does before buying one to make sure that I can still do my music playback if I load it on to the HD to stream to PS4 through the USB cable”

yes, a PS4 will see/read the drive, and you can use external hard drives with the PS4 to store things like media files (movies, music, pictures, etc). However, you will not be able to install games to, or play games from an external hard drive. The only way to expand that capacity is to buy a bigger 2.5 inch drive and swap out the factory drive (currently, as far as Im aware, 2tb is the biggest available). And yes, I know about the Nyko Databank. I bought one, and tried it, and it didnt work. When Sony found out I had a 3rd party hardware hack, they refused to support/trouble shoot the problems, and I found Nykos tech support to be totally incompetent. So, I have a 2tb. 2.5 inch drive in my PS4 now, and this exact drive on my XBox One... Hope that clarifies.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe it will not work, You need to replace the internal hd with a bigger one on the Ps4 unfortunately. Shouldve gotten an XboxOne ;)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, it won't work on a PS4, because the PS4 OS doesn't support external Harddrives. (I wish it did as I would buy another one of these and hook it up to my PS4)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not sure about the Ps4 but I do know that on the Xbox one you can only use it for the xbox one it formats it that way.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am fairly confident that the PS4 does not allow the use of external hard drives for the running and storage of games(I wish it did). You can get an external, take it apart, and use the inner drive to replace your current standard PS4 drive but it must be a 2.5" drive which I pretty sure this isn't .
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't see any reason it would not work, as long as the usb runs in and out through the system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, a PS4 will read this drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
