I bought 3 of these drives for the 3 PS4's in our home. They DO NOT FIT into the PS4 as the drive is twice as thick as the drive that came in the PS4. A small modification is required. Simply remove the HDD caddy and the old PS4, insert the new drive without the caddy. This takes a little moving around to get it lined up. The force of tightening the screws will hold the larger drive in place. I installed a piece of 2 inch wide double sided tape on top of the HDD that will insure no movement while carrying the PS$ around in my G15.5 portable case.

It is a 12.9 mm as in 2.5 inch, and it will work for the PS3 and PS4 but you are going to have to go to us.playstation.com to download the update onto a USB thumbdrive or media card ( SD, Compact, etc ) on your PC,MAC or Laptop. It is easy,LMR!

Yes, I have the 750GB in my PS3. Works like a champ. I am thinking of switching it out and using it in my PS4.

This drive has operated perfectly. I do not have gta 5 but I don't think that you will have any issues. Hope this helps

The one I ordered and received for my PS4 is 1TB, just make sure you have the 1TB one checked and not the 500GB. Right now the 1TB is actually about $15 cheaper than the 500GB. Hope this helps.

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.

.Hi Chuck,I remember a question on line identical to yours and the response given was no. You think like me. I planned to do that myself but the data on the external has to be downloaded to the PS3 in order to work. I bought a 1T hard drive to replace the 250GB that I had and love it. I believe it was under $100 and extremely easy to do. Currently, I have 54 games and well over300 hours of video not to mention music and photos and still have 470GB free for future downloads. I back things up on the external to be safe but am happy with it. Of course it comes with a price to do that but considering the cost of downloads, it pays for itself. .Hi Chuck,I remember a question on line identical to yours and the response given was no.

Not sure. It comes formatted for NTFS. I don't know what format PS4 uses. At worst you should be able to reformat it to anything if you have the right software. The drives hardware should support it.

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.

Should work fine I have the 4GB slim and I added this drive. So far I haven't needed to install any games cause most of mine are older. But I have been installing the free xbox live gold games with no issues. So a game with install should not have a problem with this drive.

No. Mine works fine. Just make sure that you get a 5400RPM. Any other will not work. Also see UTUBE if you get an error. I didn't. Make sure you do a backup to keep your trophies and game information. I did mine on an external drive due to the amount of data. You can also convert your old HD to a backup with kits on Amazon. Neat.

I've used this hard drive in my 80gb ps3. It's worked great so far. I probably have 20-30 downloadable games installed and still have plenty of space.

I would also like to get this HD for the ps3 ... Not sure why this wouldn't work ... Any confirmation out there??

@Anthony - I've been using it in my PS4 for several weeks and no issues so far. All data has copied properly so far, no issues with video streaming and a half dozen game downloads. System shows all HDD as available. I'll update review if I experience any instability.

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.

I use this 4TB HDD for storage only. For gaming where you won't be using it so much for storage, I'd use a smaller HDD storage size (250gb or less) as it will track much faster and cut down on the latency time. Better yet for hard core gaming I suggest a solid state drive (over a mechanical HDD) instead. I use a 250 gb Sandisk HDD for my operating system and use the Western Digital 4TB as a second drive to store my files on.

Based on Sony's upgrade instructions, it looks like a 2.5 inch SATA drive like the WD will work in any PS3 model (https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/362/~/upgrade-the-hard-disk-drive-(hdd)). I have not had any trouble with the drive since installing it in my formerly-160BG PS3.
