    It freed up all my space on my PS4 and setup was so easy. My only concern is the PS4 keeps the hard drive light on constantly.

    When I first begin to set up the drive it walked right through the whole steps for me. I just watched and answered the questions as they came up. They were straight forward and to the point. I had no problem going through the steps to back up my PC.
