Perfect For PS4

I was a little worried it wouldn't fit since its 7mm and the ps4 stock hdd is 9mm, no where could I find that they did in fact fit. After much debate, I decided to go for it. The answer is yes 7 mm hard drives do fit in the PS4 and it works perfectly. This is amazing I can now play all my games on spontaneous occasions. I am enjoying my 2tb.

Awesome 4TB HD for Playstation 4!

I purchased the 4TB model of this HD to replace my PS4 500GB hard drive which was constantly running out of space. Anyone who has enough games or DLC downloaded will know that 500GB doesn't add up to much. Some of the PS4 games are 75GB or more... JUST FOR ONE GAME! So anything less than a 4TB just seemed silly to me! SO HERE ARE THE IMPORTANT DETAILS: -The 4TB model of this hard drive will NOT FIT your PS4 without modification! - YES! It is possible to use the 4TB version with your PS4 if you're willing to do a very simple modification. - If you choose to do this modification the responsibility of the system falls complete on you, I do not advise anyone to do this if you're not capable of doing things to this degree and I will not be held responsible if you mess up or destroy your system. HERE IS HOW TO DO THE MODIFICATION: After you've saved all your data and you're now ready to pull the old hard drive out; 1-Remove the try holding the old HD and just place it away somewhere, YOU WILL NOT BE USING THE TRAY AGAIN! 2- Use small, but very sharp and very strong metal shears to cut away the caging that is covering the area that houses the HD. 3- After you have complete opened the HD area by removing the caging covering it, you will need to place 2 strips of double stick foam tape for the HD to rest on so that it is at the correct height to mate with the plug, this tape will also be what now holds your HD in place. TAKE NOTE; ONLY USE 2 strips of the tape and allow half an inch to one inch in between them! You DO NOT want your HD to over heat and you need the ventilation that only using the 2 small strips will give you. It will also be more than enough to secure the HD so DO NOT use more! If you completely cover the HD slot in double stick foam tape do not be surprised if your system freezes and fails/shuts down/reboots/or fries out. 4-Once you have the 2 strips of tape in place remove the backside of the sticky tape and start to insert the HD at an angle and move it down and you plug it in until the HD comes in contact with the tape (swooping motion) and now your new 4TB HD is installed. 5 - Replace the top of the PS4 unit, I was able to get mine to fit back on with a little bit of play and force. There is a very very very slight bulge, but you would NEVER EVER be able to tell. I will try to add pictures of the HD and my modification, again if you choose to do this all responsibility falls upon you! But it does work and it is VERY easy and simple to do! ***UPDATE*** 12/2018 I’ve been running this HD in my PS4 for a few months now. There is a slight lag/sluggishness at times when multitasking and in the menu. Otherwise it’s been great! Tons of space for what I need! Only way it could be better is if I put a 4tb solid state drive in. Maybe in a future system! PS5?

Good so far for virtual storage pool

I'm running five of these in my virtual storage pool (Windows Server 2016 storage pool) for my home server, four months so far. One drive developed two bad sectors, a reformat mapped them out. Maybe in another six months I'll trust them as much as the WD Red drives they replaced - until then all my volumes are three-way mirror, and I have offsite backups. Temperatures are low, of course - a main advantage of going to 2.5" drives. And these are pretty much silent. Not the fastest kid on the block - no surprise there. Still, I see less impact from SMR than I expected. It's interesting to note that the external version of this 5TB drive contains the exact same drive. Everything except drive serial number is exactly the same externally, as well as firmware and any other params I could inspect with HD Tune. At the time of writing the price for an external drive is 119 vs 189 for this internal version. Of course, pulling out the drive from the external enclosure voids any warranty, so it's really a question of how much the warranty is worth. Will more than one out of three drives fail during the warranty period? UPDATE 8/17/2018: All five drives have been running well since January. I wiped and reformatted them back then before redeploying. I have a spare drive but am not bothering with hot swap as uptime is not critical for my home server - I can accept a day's downtime if a drive fails hard. These little drives are performing as well as can be expected. Raising to five stars. UPDATE 12/16/2018: It's been a year now for most of my drives. Still running well. One drive has disconnected from my SAS card twice, hard to tell if it's the drive, card or cabling. In the process I got to see how well double redundancy works - the storage pool didn't even flinch, no downtime, no readonly mode, just rebuilt redundancy using free space on other drives while on single redundancy for a few hours. I ejected and reinserted the disconnected drive, and everything was back to normal again (albeit a bit unbalanced free space).

I Love It....! (Seagate 1TB BarraCuda SATA...)

This Review Is Specifically For The: "Seagate 1TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 2.5-Inch 7mm Internal Hard Drive (ST1000LM048)" It's Fast For A 5400 RPM Drive But I Think It Only Works With USB 3.0 Or Above Cables... I Have 2 USB 2.0 And An Enclosure And It Won't Work At All With Them.... Fortunately, I Also Bought A StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable At The Same Time And It Works With It Just Fine.... It Also Works Great Installed In My Toshiba Satellite C655 Laptop (It's Ultimate Purpose Of Course).... NOW - Keep In Mind ALL Hard Drives/ Disk Drives Can Fail... AND If They're Going To Fail, They Usually Fail Within The First 6 - 9 Months Of Regular Use... SO - Back Up Everything For The First Year Or So On ALL New Drives.... (Actually, You Should Be Doing That Anyway All The Time...) If The Drive Lasts Longer Than 9 Months To A Year, It's A Good Chance The Drive Is Fine And Will Last The Normal Mean Time Between Failures Of Something Like 800,000 Hours Or So... BUT Keep In Mind, Anything Can Happen.... ALSO NOTE - THE DRIVE COMES BLANK - They All Do As Far As I Know..... I Don't Know If You Need To Format It Because The Recovery Thumb Drive Did All That Good Stuff For Me Automatically.... I Installed It In My Laptop And Inserted The USB Thumb Drive Recovery Thingy I Made Following Toshiba's Instructions... It Took A While But Not Too Long (Naturally, We're Talking Like 13GB Here For Windows 7 From A USB 2.0 Thumb Drive...) And I'm Back To "Out Of The Box" New Again, Except With A Ridiculously Large Drive....LOL Old Drives A 300GB.... I Don't Know About Warranties Or Fakes Like Some Reviews Are Talking About, But Mine Has A Green Label And Came Sealed In A New Looking Anti-static Pouch...

Working perfectly in a PS4 (original)

I'll be honest - I'm a Western Digital guy, but found this HDD for a great price with Prime shipping. It was used to upgrade a PS4 Original console from the base 500GB HDD that was stock. The swap process was quick and painless (neither here, nor there) and this HDD has been working great ever since! It's been roughly 6 weeks. I'm hoping this is a game changer for me and Seagate will prove to be just as wonderful as my WD HDD's have always been.

Perfect for my needs

I discovered Plex and realized I needed a larger hard drive storage for my growing movies collection and wanted it in a 2.5" form factor because they consume less power and weigh less for those times I have to move my desktop computer around. The Seagate 4TB Barracuda was perfect for my needs so I ended up adding a two 4TB 2.5" Barracudas into my system. NOTE: This drive is approximately TWICE the height as a regular 2.5" drive so it doesn't fit in most/all laptops. Installation into my desktop computer was easy but requires a 2.5" to 3.5" drive adapter/bracket. The drive screws into the bracket and the bracket fits and screws into a single 3.5" drive bay. If you want to add a second 2.5" drive such as an SSD to boot and run programs from, there are brackets available that hold 2-2.5" drives and still fit in a single 3.5" drive bay. Just search on "2.5 to 3.5 Adapter" here on Amazon.

I'm just glad I don't have to continuously uninstall and reinstall games ...

Used this to upgrade from a 500GB hard drive on my PS4 and it couldn't have been easier. Made sure my saves were backed up online, and backed up everything locally as well, switch out the drives, installed the PS4 software, and copied everything back to the new drive without a hitch. This is the newer, larger version of the same drive we used to upgrade my husband's to a 1TB hard drive almost two years ago and he has not had any troubles (although now he's a little jealous of my storage space!). I'm just glad I don't have to continuously uninstall and reinstall games to have more than a few of the titles I like to play available anymore.

Great Drive, runs cool and quiet. 130 mb/s respectively on read/write.

I just received 2 of these 1TB barracuda drives today along with an Inateck 2-bay Raid USB C Portable enclosure and they work better than I anticipated. I did Speed tests of both drives (see attached) and got right around 130 mb/s respectively. That's 20mb/s faster than the $150.00 Lacie Rugged 1TB I just returned. I am using both of these in a Raid 0 Right now powered over a single USB A to USB C cable and they run just fine. They run cool and quiet. I will update this review over time to give more details on longevity. I paid $180.00 for 2 tbs at 250 mb/s in raid 0. Can't beat that.

Great upgrade for PS4!!!

After a good bit of research I decided to choose this Seagate Barracuda to replace my maxed out stock PS4 drive, and it has been even better than I expected! Not only am I LOVING the extra space, but it has also noticeably increased the speed of my console's start up, game loading, and download/install speeds. I would HIGHLY recommend this drive for any console gamer looking to upgrade, especially those on a budget. Best $100 I've spent in a long time.

High data density, great value per TB ... sluggish speeds

First I checked the Seagate website for warranty and it was good (always check because some vendors pull these from external enclosures and they may be used as well). I then put this disk in a IBM 3650 with a slightly older Adaptec raid controller. To my dismay I had the 2 TB limit and it made me a little sad as this is a 4 TB disk. I was however able to plug into the on board SAS controller and it popped up as a 4 TB disk. I then performed a full format (not a quick) and then checked for bad blocks. Fortunately there were no bad blocks. I then copied 2 tb of data to the disk and was ill impressed with the 95 megabyte per second sustained copy speed. End of the day I am happy with the purchase. I pan on purchasing 5 more of these disks to throw in a raid 5 or 6 configuration. I would not recommend these SMR disks for anything other than mass storage that you do backup (as SMR disks have a higher failure rate than CMR). But if you need a 2.5 ich form factor and speed is not an issue; this is the highest data density for the price your going to find.
