    I purchased this hard drive to use with my PS4. It works great. I like that it has its own power supply and that it was easy to set up and use. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to expand there memory.

    Have this connected to my PS4 pro. It works great. Definitely holds a lot of games. Bought this due to my 4TB, that is also connected to my PS4 pro, getting full. Another good thing about this is that it powers down when the PS4 pro powers down. That is a plus for me. My Xbox One doesn't due that. Games do load a little faster on the external thru USB3 than the way I have a 4TB internal connected to the SATA3.
