    PS4 easy drive swap

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Awesome. No problems with removing from case to install in my PS4. A great deal for 1.7 usable Tb. A little advice, before swapping drives backup your system, game saves and install data to another external from old drive.Took me about 4 hours for approx 400 Gb. After you install and reinitialize this new drive, install the OS and restore the data to from the external to the new 2 Tb drive and you will not need to reinstall everything individually. Took me about 7 hours for total backup and restore and I still have 1.43 Tb left! After all this I was even able to put the 500 Gb stock drive in the case and use it as an external for media.

    This external HD is small, sleek and fast. Works exactly as it should, and it portable enough to fit into my lightweight ultrabook carry bag.

    Really small and efficient

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The hard drive is really small, I was surprised at the size of it when I first got it. Makes sense though, since it has an external hard drive enclosed in a case, essentially. I got this for my PS4 so I promptly cracked it open, gently, and proceeded to place it in my PS4. The process is relatively easy and there are tons of online videos to help you along. I placed the 500 GB hard drive back in the enclosure, so now I have a 500 GB external HDD and a PS4 with 2 TB hard drive, win-win.
