    This is perfect for use with any PS4 or Xbox One! I got one for both. Plus on sale it was cheaper than the 4 TB one.

    It's Great so far except a bit noisy and warm, but needed an acronis upgrade to be useful as a boot drive imager and file folder backup. A Shame the full version wasn't included or even stated that it wasn't.

    All my WD drives require just a bit of finagling upon initial setup. Nothing too complicated so it’s not a big deal. But I’ve never had an issue with them like I have other brands.

    The storage capacity was good, however the only drawback was that you must plug it in for power. Next time I’m buying one that can power from the computer via USB
