To early to post a goog review. It just arrived this morning. I just noticed the PN: does not match between the unit and the carton it arrived in. Although the SN: does..

Writing a review after two years of owning it. Bought this external storage device two months after owning my PS4 so I was able to play my large capacity games like GTA, COD, RDD, etc. It worked great! never had an issue with it making my PS4 slow or loading games too slow. I literally used this by letting it stay plugged in to my PS4, so if my PS4 was turned on, my external storage device was on and running. Now, I hardly used my PS4 compared to most people. Maybe played it here and there, but not an everyday thing. For awhile we did use our PS4 for DVDs, Streaming movies, TV, etc, so it was on for quite some time during 2020-2021. Most of 2022 it worked great as well until - it didnt. Around August we started noticing this strange beating or clicking noise coming from it when the PS4 was on. At first we thought it was the PS4 but realized it was the hard drive. Then our games that were stored on the hard drive werent able to load. When we went to SETTINGS to view the Storage it was not showing up. We would have to wait a few minutes for the PS4 to read the device, then we would get a message in the left hand corner saying External Storage not supported by PS4. We would go to the Settings to Devices to try to see the device, it would tell us its not formatted, but would show that device had 144,115.2 TB capacity. Because of this it wouldnt allow us to format it. Now I am not sure why it broke after 2 years. Not sure if its cause we never unplugged it, or the fact that it only is made to last so long (heard this company doesnt make great Hard Drives based off a Reddit - PS4 thread) Or if it was the fact my 11 month old daughter got a hold of it, possibly unplugged it while PS4 was on or maybe slammed it on the ground. What ever the case, Im not stressed because I am not an avid gamer and do not mind replaying all my games. I wanted to post this review due to the fact I havent seen many people talk about this issue. I could see how this could frustrate people who actually care about their progress being deleted or broken after all that time. Please let me know if my review is helpful to you.

Plug in, format the drive, and you are good to go. For anyone not clear on format; the PS4 does it for you. Just follow the prompts in the system settings menu. The whole process literally only took a few minutes. The PS4 continues to operate the same, so the user view doesnt change. Once setup, just continue your normal routine. Heres the thing...this external HD does not go into a sleep mode on its own. It depends how you have your USB ports configured. This can also be adjusted in the system settings. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of. Especially if you dont want the external HD running 24/7. There are some great vid tutorials online for your reference.

Works as expected for PS5

Easy to install & Fast.

This was super easy to set up and my PS4 did it automatically for me. I love that you dont have to plug into an outlet and it only needs the PS4 or PS5 to power it. It does take a long time to upload games into it but can do it in the background while you are doing other things. I havent downloaded anything off of it yet. Looks exactly like in all the pictures.

Very good item

Easy to use, fast setup, and above all it didnt crash out every two seconds like those pesky ones that plug in and take three times longer to upload and download the data. For some reason you cannot go wrong with this sleek, small, and darn impressive drive. If you are worried about ports like I was, then get a simple PS4 bridge and then plug the hub into into that directly. Bam, you have your drive directly connected and your PS4 is expanded to 3x as many ports than before. Do not let those dang mounts fool you. Just make your own stand and you can plug any portable hard drive in you like. In my case even though I carefully researched, my first was a hard nope and I still ended up with the better PS4 drive in the end. Dont skimp out, you will be pleased with the quality of the product.

Works great but is very loud. Love it though.
