Does this drive make the PS4 work any faster?

I have seen a little improvement in speed over the hard drive that came with PS4. I mainly purchased it for all the additional storage space over the original one.

We didn't notice any change in speed. Just bought it to increase storage capacity. But it works very well--no glitches or crashes. The biggest speed difference we noticed (for non-disc play) was moving from a wireless to a direct ethernet connection.

Hey Harold, This is EXACTLY why I bought this drive. It is now sitting between my XB1 and my PS$ and all my games are on the seagate...I am thrilled with this purchase!! Works perfectly!!

I tried a hybrid drive and it gave me similar performance to a SSD, 10 to 25% in initial load, no diference in between game load time and not much difference in start time. Basically not really worth it. The difference is like 36 sec vs 40 or 55 vs 102 sec.

Yes it does. This was the sole purpose for me purchasing the drive and it works great. As long as you follow the instructions on reinstalling the PS3 firmware onto the drive, you should have no issues. You'll notice a substantial speed increase for system boot and installing/running games. The capacity helps as well.

Short answer: No. Long answer: Don't expect this drive to work at all. Couldn't even install and play the first game I tried on it and that was a 360 game. Original Xbox games require a specific partition to be in place on the drive that this drive lacks. I'd go for an official Microsoft drive.

Yes, I've had one installed in my PS4 for three months w/ no problems at all. Just make sure that you download the "full-version" of the PS4 firmware and save to a USB flash drive. Unlike PS3, there are two versions of the firmware files (one for existing upgrades, and one for full-install).http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps4/new-install/

No, the PS4 HD is more akin to a laptop hard drive. it's a 2.5" HD This Seagate SSD is a 3.5 inch so it's a bit bigger.

I don't know about a PS4, but the drive is thicker than a regular 2.5" drive. The seller indicated it was designed for servers.

It should work, the same hdd is on my ps4 and mac and it's stock. It's thinner than usual, like 7mm instead of 9mm, but it works.

Yes, the issue that you may have is downloading the right system update file. It's the one that's about 700mb, that's the one for system reinstallation and don't forget tah check tah see if your flash drive displays on your ps4

I assume you're asking whether it's faster than a conventional hard disk drive. The answer is yes, much faster.

I don't believe that it does. The hard drive I purchashed runs flawlessly though.

I'm not 100% sure I am answering your question correctly, however there is 1TB of HDD space on the drive, which performs at a much faster speed than a normal HDD because of the SSD sector. I am not sure of the actual space, however I do know I put this drive in my PS4 and it pretty dramatically reduced download speeds on games I play often.

It works great. Just put this HDD in my PS4. Be sure to get the PS4 firmware on a USB storage device too.

Just to clarify everything. This WILL work in your PS4 just fine. You have to have a flash USB drive to insert the firmware update onto this hard drive after installation. This WILL NOT work on PS3. However, my suggestion to you is to simply wait for next month as Nyko is releasing a tech that replaces the 2.5 inch hard drive casing with a casing that will work with a 3.5 inch hard drive, that can handle up to 6 Terabytes. I already have a 4 Terabyte SSD hybrid ready. That would be the best bet. My terabyte SSD filled up months ago. Two Terabytes really isn't enough if you play a lot of games.

MJ@NeweggRating: Review Date: 07/21/09Great drive works well with ps3Cons: Not any yet and hopefully never. Pros: This is a really good drive and comes already formatted in FAT32 so you can plug right into the ps3. It is really small and quiet. Comment:

The 1.5TB model is much higher density, which could result in faster performance in some cases. I have been using the HGST 1.5 tb drive in a macbook ODD bay for a few months now and I am very happy with it. The only thing to consider for a PS4 is how important the hard drive speed is. If you care a lot about hard drive speed, then a Hybrid Drive like the Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive would be a better choice.
