This was a perfect upgrade for my PS4 and the price was on point!
This is a great upgrade for anyone wanting to get more space
Cheap and fast upgrade for any laptop that has a fast+small SSD in the m2 slot and needs further storage for games or movies.
This was a great upgrade for my ps4 and would recommend to anyone needing extra space and loading speeds.
I recommend this hard drive upgrade for anyone who is looking for more hard drive space or anyone worried about running out of space on their Playstation 4.
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.
bought this drive for an hp laptop for a customer, lost O/S after a month of use
Installation was super easy, and now I don't worry about downloading too many games
I receive my new Seagate 2T hard drive today and low and be hold it came in a un-label brown box not very impressed on how they present there merchandise
Easy installation, however for some reason it is sluggish
Installation wasn't difficult; all it took was a google search and a youtube video or two
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

Installed this as an economical speed and storage upgrade for a PS4 hard drive, without any hassle.

The hard drive was easy to install and the 2 terabytes of storage was perfect for my needs... but the drive started failing after only 2 months of being installed in my PS4
This was an easy install and plug & play for my son's PS4
I chose to do a fresh install of the OS, Programs and data
Worked great to upgrade my ps4’s hard drive install was easy packaging was neat and well protected and works flawlessly
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

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.
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.

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
I bought 2TB edition for my ACER-ASPIRE-E5-576G and it works fine without any issues.
Mostly VR Games, until the drive failed all ran flawlessly
Games in Steam loaded about twenty times slower than they did on older drives (going by the hourglass flips in Cuphead), but once loaded, reloaded normally
I use it in my ps4 and He broke after one month .. some of reviews got the same problem toi lost important videos and so many game need download againi’m so sad :(
These are a fraction of the cost of an SSD, and work just as brilliantly
it will no work on 6gb/s (only 3gb/s) and will be detected as overheatedAlready reported to Seagate, until now not firmware upgrade...

This drive did not even last a year in sons PS4, had to go out and buy a new one for it every time I connect it to PS$ says cant find system storage, when I connect a $50 hard drive there is no problem what a waste of money
Worked for 3 months before malfunctioning in a PS4, making me lose all saves and data
the second one also fully died after a mere 2 months use with my ps4 pro....lost all my saves for the second time now... will never buy again ... you have been warned..
it will no work on 6gb/s (only 3gb/s) and will be detected as overheatedAlready reported to Seagate, until now not firmware upgrade...
My kids lost all their saves and personal files and they won't have access to the PS4
Only had this a couple of months and it worked great until tonight...when I just lost all my game saves because it died..was installed internally in my PS4 pro
Thankfully not much data lost as I had just started on my new laptop
one of them being an usb setup for connecting many different kinds of drives externally to troubleshoot and/or recover data, this thing won't spin up at all
I don’t usually review items, but I just lost all my data, the hard drive worked just fine since day one, was using this HDD on my PS4
I actually like it soo much for the price I plan to buy a few more for my Desktop so I can have faster data transfer over my network for media files
Surprisingly fast data migration and restore from backup
Well today we had a girl that took the power out for a minute and the hard drive died

I’m an IT guy, I bought this product in order to have my main hard drive files and the hard drive just work for 6 months, after the 5th month I noticed my computer was getting really slow, today 04/15/2018 my hard drive died for no reason, when I check the HD was

It was also loud (head noise) and was making lots of the noises anyone who has heard a failing drive will be familiar with - repetetive clicking, spiky performance etc
I noticed a bit of loud noise from the hard drive once or twice but really hoped that was "normal
it will no work on 6gb/s (only 3gb/s) and will be detected as overheatedAlready reported to Seagate, until now not firmware upgrade...
I just now noticed that there's a funny noise coming from the PS4, so idk if it's the fan or the hard drive
I thought I heard it making excessive noise once, but I haven't heard it again since.
Tested it for bad sectors and such before installing though just to be sure
The repair cycles work for a short period, then more bad sectors
it will no work on 6gb/s (only 3gb/s) and will be detected as overheatedAlready reported to Seagate, until now not firmware upgrade...
3 or 4 months later the drive is very slow, loud, and full of bad sectors.
I got the seagate tools and checked the drive for bad sectors.... found nothing!I put the drive back in the PS4 and spent the next 12 hours or so re-installing and re-downloading games and addons
But once the space ran out of the stock hard drive it was impossible not to buy this
The PS4's menu items suddenly became very laggy after a game crashed, and the issue was alleviated after switching back to the stock hard drive
I notice the improve performance as compared to the stock hard drive
The stock hard drive that this replaced wowed me with rotation speed and good for it's time storage, but was hindered with an IDE chip with SATA interface
it will no work on 6gb/s (only 3gb/s) and will be detected as overheatedAlready reported to Seagate, until now not firmware upgrade...
In the short time I've had this hard drive it has corrupted 3 times making me reinstall all 1.5tb of my ps4 games all over again and lose hours of game data

Failed after about 6 months of light use (401 hours as reported by S.M.A.R.T) and failed so abruptly that I was unable to backup any data
Lost all of my game saves and countless hours of downloaded games and apps.
