will this drive run too hot in a PlayStation 4? i know it'll be faster than the stock one but it's the heat that i'm concerned about.

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.

Honestly i had the original hard drive in and played the ps4 for 3 days probably 3-4 hr sessions and it did get warm when i put in the western hard drive i really could not tell the difference it gets warm but never anything past what the orginal did

Ive noticed mine running quite a bit hotter, I think its because the system is able to run faster, so it takes a little more power to the processor. I have compared power specs of the drives, and they are VERY similar, so its not a problem there. I can get a thermometer and compare temps, I have a stock one I use also, so I can run them side by side, and take temps from both to see how they compare. I have ran it quite a bit with the new drive, it IS noticeably faster, and I haven't had any issues yet with stability or crashes.

I have had no heat-related performance problems in my Dell XPS 15. I don't know about in a PS4.

well if you are running the drive 24/7 as a backup or other reason, those drives do get hot. The life of the drive could be shortened by overheating.

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.

I haven't had any issues with overheating. The PS4 actually still breathes quite well.

actually the drives are about as hot as when they're in the ext enclosures. I found that out when i opened the enclosure on a ext drive that had just been shut down and checked the temp inside the case.

It meets all the specifications for the PS4. I won't have time to actually swap this out of my PS3 into my PS4 until the weekend but there is no reason for this not to work. I would look into the SSHD hybrid for the PS4 though. It's about $25 more but I think the speed up is going to be worth it.

the drive in the heatsink apears to be an SAS (SCSI Attached Serial), however, as it is mentioned, the drive does run hot, so I would not use it without the heatsink, as the drive WILL overheat, causing catastrophic failure..

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:HGST Travelstar 0S03563 1TB SATA Hard Drive KitGood luck!

It's 5400RPM, so access times are "slower" than a 7200RPM drive. It has an 8meg cache vs. a 16m cache. I'd venture to say that neither of these are noticeable to the typical user. It's hot-pluggable SATA II, which are current capabilities. The 7200RPM/16m version is only about $5 more.

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

No! I had issues when installing into my PS3 - Locked Up and Corrupted my install. The 1tb works flawlessly in a PS3 the 1.5tb however does not. The 1.5tb is better served in a PS4 in which it runs fine.

I am going to say this will definitely fit in the PS4 because I recently upgraded my PS4 with the (Model: WDBMYH0010BNC-NRSN) Western Digital drive and the "height" dimensions show as follows: 0.4 inch which is approximately 10.16 mm. When I put the 1TB drive in there was still plenty of room for more drive to fit in there! Hope this helps.

Hello there,To be perfectly honest with you, I am not entirely sure as I am not an expert when it comes to hard drives. I actually only recently got a PS3 and have not ever removed the hard drive from it.So, I am sorry that I cannot be of more help.Kindest regards,- Derek

I game with it and it does get hot, not hot enough to shut down as some speculate but enough to lag your game. This problem is easily solved with an external cooling solution.

I've used this drive for back-ups for all of my files (about 350-40 GB), and I haven't noticed any heat issues. You should be ok.

I only have a 1TB drive, but blurb says it's been tested with up to 4TB.There is no fan. That wouldn't be a bad idea, as, although I've had no problems, it does get quite warm.
