Great for PS4 games on PS5
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.What to do with the limited space on the PS5...all these PS4 games. How about put them all on an external hard drive and play them whenever you want. Yes, the load speeds are not going to be as good but you’ll be able to play any of the games whenever you want.

seems good but...
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.The HDD inside is not a standard drive. the usb interface is built into the HDD itself. has the usb 3 micro wide plug instead of a usb c. I wish the listing had more details of what you actually are buying. the label on the drive doesn't even have the rpms. This just reinforces the idea that console gamers don't care about performance.

Just what I needed
||Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.I have had this over a year now and still works amazingly well. Ease of use is simple and takes about 3 minutes. Most people don't know, but the external hard drive port is located on the back of the ps4. So you really shouldn't be using your front ports for this device as it will run slower as well as take up a needed front port. I am already at 3.4TB of 4TB. Wish the 8TB could be used on the ps4, however it cannot be used on ps4 or ps4 pro. Design is nice, but feels fragile so I wouldn't want to drop it. Other than that, no negatives I can think of.

Definitely a worthwhile investment
||Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This thing was great for me, I have a 2015 model PS4 (Black Ops 3 Edition 1TB) and have 90% of my games installed to the hard drive, naturally this space was used up fairly quickly but with the extra 4TB I was able to re-download all my earlier titles and have room for more demanding games like Modern Warfare or Fallout 4, definitely worth the extra 40$ from the 2TB option for double the capacity. The loading speed and small profile work great as well, I highly recommend this and maybe a protection plan if you move the console around a lot!

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionCan this be used on the PS5?
Asked by G4150351.
- A:Answer Patch 1.04 was sent out by Playstation and this addressed the issue. Now PS5 will run from an external device PS5 games, as long as console is updated to current firmware (if auto updates enabled then it's already installed)

Q: QuestionCan you put this on a ps4 if so how many games will it hold?
Asked by Autumn.
- A:Answer Yes, this was able to connect/port with my PlayStation 4 with no problem. As for how many games it can hold, it really depends on the size of the games themselves seeing as how some games can require as little as 25 gb of memory, then there’s some that can take up as much as 150 gb (1000 gb = 1 tb), so with that in mind, a 4tb drive can hold between 25 to 160 games, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Again really depends on the size of the games you are playing. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionWith this gaming drive can I hook it up to my HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1554 PC W/Intel Pentium Processor G2020, 6GB DDR3 System Memory, 1TB Hard drive, Intel HD Graphics, Super multi DVD Burner, Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g/n, Beats Audio running on Windows 8?
Asked by Lycan1.
- A:Answer It's a drive like any other. If you choose to connect it to laptop/desktop, it will serve its purpose. That being said, if you want to use with a computer after you've used it with a PS4, you will have to format it first, because Windows will not recognize the file system and won't be able to read from or write to the drive. This means that you will lose any game and app data previously stored on the drive.

Q: QuestionWill this work with an Xbox one? I just received it, and the box says "compatible with PS4". Doesn't mention Xbox anywhere on the box. I assumed it would function just like any other external hard drive - or is it going to be a problem for an Xbox One?
Asked by bfinn3.
- A:Answer It works with XBOX.

Q: Questionwill this work with PS 5
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Hi, Sony added support for external USB hard drives on the PS5 with their April 2021 update. However, due to PS5 restrictions, games can only be played off the console’s internal SSD. As such, external USB storage hard drives only function as a faster way to hot-swap games and data on or off the PS5’s internal storage. -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information

Q: QuestionDoes it work with the PlayStation pro?
Asked by Natt.
