    Works on my original 1st edition ps4. Any more gigabytes would not be accepted by this model ps4 as an external hard drive. There are smaller wd hard drives available now.

    You need to back everything up these days so just Incase your computer crashes. Good device and easy to use. My computer began working faster once I transferred everything to the HD.

    I bought this to back up Photo's and such on a regular basis. It installed with no problem and just sits in the back ground doing it's job. I have nothing negative to say about this drive in the situation that I am using it for. I got a good deal so I am a happy camper all the way around.

    I bought this to help store my GoPro and drone footage. I was surprised at how easy it was to set up, since I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Can’t go wrong with this one.

    The Easystore 4TB hard drive is a great bargain. Inexpensive, and simple plug-and-play. You can simply use as an additional drive, or use the apps that come with it for automated backup.

    A must have to save your data in-house as opposed to cloud servers. Somewhat bulkier and not a SSD, but can't beat the cost per MB storage.
