    Great product to upgrade old 500gb PS4 HDD. Do note that the drive is slightly thinner than the standard drive in the console, but it's been working fine so far. Installation takes minutes, with a slight delay on the thinner than expected drive

    Works perfectly! There are plenty of YouTube videos explaining how to upgrade your playstation to a 2tb hard drive. Easy to disassemble and install.

    Everything is working good so far. I have this to back up my data for my 5k Retina 27 inch Imac. Just plug and play, dont forget to eject it before disconnecting. It's simple to format the drive if you know what you are doing on a Imac using the progam called Disk Utility. No corruption or loss of data with my product. I will update my review if it fails and I hope it doesn't.

    the actual storage room is just 1.8T, so I am disappointed about this. However, the disk is very thin and looks not bad.

    This is a solid performing drive that only weights 4.0 oz, I am using it to put movies and tv episodes on so I can watch them on my tablet and notebook with both have limited space, this drive is a BIG 2TB, That is alot of storage for business, and personal items. It is a great drive, no issues, fits well in my carrying case for my notebook. Love it.

    i bought this as its a super cheap way to get a low profile 2tb drive to use in your PS4,its the same Samsung drive in this external HDD just larger, easy to remove from the case and easy to install in the PS4. Plus you can reuse the case and put the PS4 drive back in the case and use that as a 500gb external usb 3 drive, so great all round

    After a new laptop with the SSD drive, I wanted some additional storage. The Seagate Drive was 2TB and a great price. Once I got the drive, I was very pleased with the size, appearance and performance. I love how easy it is to attach and carry around and it fits anywhere. Even better was the price. The lowest of the season and the area.

    Best hard rive upgrade for the ps4

    Bought this product to use as a upgrade for my ps4 hard drive. But before I bought it, I went and read some reviews on it and found some good reviews and decided to get it. The product is very nice well pack. It's a 2.5 inch hard drive that fits really well on the ps4. If you want to use the case again and make the ps4 500gb as a external hard drive just be careful on opening the product because of how easy the metal top to bend. As I said it is a nice product, the prize was right and a best ps4 hdd upgrade.

    This is one of the best purchases I have made. I needed a way to backup my computer files as I winter in Florida and summer up North. I was looking for a small backup device that I could easily transport back and forth. This backup device fits right in a small size purse, no need to pack it in your luggage. The Seagate Backup Plus is the perfect device. Very easy to use, compact and the storage capacity is excellent. Could not get a better device for the price. I highly recommend this product and will be buying this item as gifts for friends,
