Will this drive work in the PS4?

Due to the way the WD Black2 separates its SSD and the HDD and you need to install firmware to have the HDD accessible. This firmware is currently only available for Windows. So right there is a no go. In addition to that, the PS4 requires a minimum disk requirement of 160Gigs to install the OS. So there is that too.

No it won't. It needs special software to activate the 1TB partition. PS4 would only see 120GB.

Hard to say, but I doubt it. The thing requires a driver to run in Windows, and is recognized as two separate drives.

Yes but first you should install this in a pc when you activate the 1tb in the pc you can use it in the ps4. I made that

Generally if it has a standard SATA connection, it should work. The only thing I could see a possible issue with would be the encryption that the drive uses and if special software would be necessary. I don't know much about that type of drive.

It might fit but it will not work. This is an enterprise SAS drive. The PS4 can only use SATA drives.

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 it will, I have a 4TB drive in mine now. People like Fred need to stop making comments on things they have not tested.

I purchased the one I got from amazon to go into my son's machine. If it is the same one I purchased then it should work. The seller that bought the drive from was sold by HAUSBELL I hope that this helps.

Yes, it's the correct kind of drive for the PS4. However this drive is a 5400 RPM drive, and you'd get better performance from your PS4 if you use a 7200 RPM drive like the HGST Travelstar 2.5-Inch 1TB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive, also available here on amazon.com for $79.99. The amazon page is at this link: http://www.amazon.com/HGST-Travelstar-2-5-Inch-7200RPM-Internal/dp/B0097LG9U8/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1385788041&sr=1-2&keywords=1+tb+7200+rpm+hard+drive Good luck!

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.

There should be no issues with this drive, it fits in my Drobo which is the same size as the drive bay in the playstations.

To use this HD you need to have power supply and motherboard connections for SATA cables, or to use adapters. I am not sure, but I think that it could not be used in a PS4. If these connectors exist, then no problem.

The short answer is, yes. Though the drive is rated to work on SATA 6GB/sec it is backwards compatible and should work.

I would say it doesn't matter if this drive will work with you're system, don't buy it. The Buffalo DriveStation is a piece of junk, read the reviews. Mine didn't last a month and I lost a lot of pictures and video. Hope this helps.

It should work fine. But you might be better off getting a 1tb because disk space goes fast. Especially if you have ps plus. Also there are a lot of 1tb on amazon that is close to the same price.

I am not up on PS4. But if it is Sata to Sata then it should work. This is a data only cable so external drive would need a power supply.

Im not familiar with PS4 system, but it works just like any other flash drive. May need to be formatted with PS4.
