A:Answer It will work. Be aware that if you just hook it up to your PS4 and format it, you will not be able to copy videos or music to the device, you can only put PS4 applications on it. I would describe this hard drive as loud. Not outrageously loud, but I was surprised. I have a WD elite 2TB external HDD hooked up to my PS3 - and this HDD hooked up to my PS4, and the elite is practically silent. (The elite is USB 2.0). Hope that helps.
