    It works fine in my XBone. I have not tried it on the PS4 but I will. This may be the best portable hard drive you can get for console use.

    This is a great item for home theater purposes. Those who have cut the cord on cable but who still want to record OTA channels will be very happy with this external harddrive.

    This is, or at least it seems to be, the fastest of the multiple USB3 drives I have. I store a lot of data and I'm a fanatic for backups.
