Reviews around space (4.38 of 5)

  • so I guess they don't speed up the load and save much on a game system they do however, hold EVERYTHING on my old hard drive with enough space for 3X more.
  • The 2TB is good enough space and the old hard drive can be used as an extended storage
  • The drive is tiny, but has effectively 1.71TB of available space
  • Noticed a weird error where some downloads will say insufficient space even though there is more than enough
  • Would definitely recommend if your on a budget but still want a big hard drive space and make your slow computer just a bit faster, this does the trick.

Reviews around storage (4.12 of 5)

  • Great SSHD for PS4 - faster and 4x the storage of the stock drive on the original PS4
  • I just wouldn't recommend this as a so called "Gaming Drive" when the Factory Drives run circles around them, they just have more storage to hold more Games.
  • If you're looking to upgrade your ps4 internal drive for better storage, this is the one
  • bought this drive for an hp laptop for a customer, lost O/S after a month of use
  • Installed this as an economical speed and storage upgrade for a PS4 hard drive, without any hassle.

Reviews around speed (4.07 of 5)

  • While I initially enjoyed the speed of this drive, it has just failed on me
  • Nearly all of the performance loss relative to the builtin SSD comes from slowing down to USB 3 speed for data transfer---an insignificant loss.
  • Installed this as an economical speed and storage upgrade for a PS4 hard drive, without any hassle.
  • I love the speed, capacity, warranty, and price of this new drive...
  • The speed or the fbs, performance ,does not change.dont be fooled

Reviews around state (4.05 of 5)

  • I purchased this hard drive from the recommendation of my IT guy who said it's a cheaper alternative to Solid State Hard Drives but more reliable than the spinny ones.
  • I went ahead a bought a solid state drive to replace it
  • I would suggest buying the Seagate mechanical drive or the solid state drive over the hybrid one
  • This is the new, if not improved, version of Seagate's Solid State Hybrid Drive

Reviews around performance (3.99 of 5)

  • bought this drive for an hp laptop for a customer, lost O/S after a month of use
  • I expected this hard drive to get better performance, but after about 3 weeks of use, it failed on me
  • The performance seems to be better but the drive itself fails / powers down after about 5 minutes, at which point it ceases to be recognizes by the system altogether
  • Just the right performance for my PS4 for the right price.
  • Although this could be a very good hd, its performance in a PS4 game system is lacking.

Reviews around ssd (3.94 of 5)

  • Speed benefits aren't immediately recognized until the third or fourth time loading the same program then load times are with in 1-3 seconds of a much more expensive SSD
  • You could buy a more expensive SSD, but the SATA2 interface will keep you from seeing speed benefits
  • A full SSD (while ideal for a PS4 pro) is mechanically overkill (as well as a budget killer) since the PS4 can only read up toa SATA II
  • This is a great SSHD, it is faster than my 7.2krpm HD I had, but not as fast as my SSD (which is expected).
  • Works perfectly in my PS4 Pro - not quite as fast as an SSD, but a fraction of the price and much, much faster and larger capacity that the stock drive.

Reviews around load (3.93 of 5)

  • bought this drive for an hp laptop for a customer, lost O/S after a month of use
  • I load is slower now so as long as this drive keeps chugging along I'll keep using it
  • I was expecting maybe a slight performance upgrade when loading some game content, but actually ended up with overall slower load times then the factory drive
  • I do not see drastic load time increase - it's barely noticeable at best in my opinion
  • Noticed a little bit faster load times in my PS4 for some of my games
