Just read a report how SSDs are slightly faster on PS4s. Has anyone used one of these on their PS4?

I have a 512 GB in my PS4. There is little improvement. Hybrid drives seem to work the best in the PS4.

Slightly is not the word it is like comparing the speed of a sports car to a bicycle

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.

Hybrid drives are slower. 8GB of Flash, what are you going to do with that. I've tried many Seagates. Dual drive is better but pure SSD why not these days

I have one of these the 750 Gb and I put on my ps4 and I never had problem with heating so I recommend ssd on ps4 if you want the maximum performance then the space which ssd could go way high on price when you want to get more storage but if you want fast speed and more space I go with this one.

yes works well...no issues seen. follow the directions from sony hdd upgrade and get the larger file...think it was 500mb or so....for new drive install.....do hate how you cant back anything up on ps4 except game saves...so you have to redownload everything....i had a god 60+ gb

Check the detailed specifications and you will see big differences other than just the faster SATA connection rate. 4x faster reading, 10x faster writing IOPS. 7mm versus 9.5mm thickness. Not sure if the v4 supports SMART on the older controller chip it uses.Then too your SSD may well outlive several computers, why buy an outdated slow one that you will be living with for years?

No one needs an SSD yet. It's mostly just a boot partition. Even PlanetSide 2 at max settings 1080p, max draw distance, in the largest battles, has zero pop-in issues.It's not like you are running other intensive software WHILE playing a game at the same time. And SSD are incredibly expensive, with very little space for data. So yes - this is all a gamer needs, at the moment.

It won't affect the performance of the SSD itself, but at the same time it will affect the performance of what you put on the SSD. For example, if you put a game on the SSD the game will load faster but the GPU, CPU, and RAM will affect how well the game performs. I hope that explanation helps!

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.

just like you i'm not a tech savvy but this item is working perfect on my ps4and 1.5 tb is better than 1tb ;) (the 500gb from my ps4, I installed it on my ps3)

I too have a suoer slim 500 gb. Playstation 3. I rarely encountered any framerate issues. a couple of times when things got really crazy but not enough to take away from the fun I had playing the game.

From my understanding of sata cables they are all the same. It is the transmission protocol that is different. That being said, this thing is totally passive. It just is a smaller configuration of the same connection. I would be looking at whether your ssd actually reaches 6gbps speeds. Most don't come close- that's a potential 750 Mb/sec. The bottle necks on these things have a lot more to do with the ssd's controller than the actual cable itself.

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.

Yes, worked perfectly fine in Son's PS4. Just make sure you follow the directions to a "T" for firmware upgrades, etc.

Hi Patrick, this will not work in a PS4. You need a drive that is: 2.5 inch internal type (9.5mm or slimmer) and Serial ATA (Parallel ATA is not supported) Sorry about that.

I don't know what kind of memory drives the PS4 uses. I would assume it can if the PS4 uses standard notebook hard drives, which is what the Extreme II replaces.

I can not answer that question because I did not install the SSD. I brought it to the greek squad at Bestbuy. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
