  • This item will work with ps4 just make sure the size of the hard drive is 2.5 inches.
  • If you find yourself needing a 2.5" form-factor without the SSD price, these are PERFFECT for the job.
  • Perfect! Quiet! It’s tiny form factor actually runs cooler that the two standard size form factors.
  • My laptop didn’t come with a hard drive installed but had the SATA cable already attached. All I had to do was plug and screw.
  • The HDD didnt work. It was not getting recognized by my PC. And yes, I did try multiple slots and many different SATA cables.
