First, I build and repair a lot of computers and electronics for family and friends. I ALWAYS use Western Digital drives when building or replacing a hard drive. I usually use the "Black" series of drives for performance, durability, and the warranty. These drives last well past their warranties with decent performance for a conventional platter drive. These are the ones to use when you need a large capacity conventional hard drive.I purchased this 5TB gaming external drive to expand the capacity of my PS4. For the first time, I've gone all digital with my PS4 games to reduce the number of game cases and disks around. I also like to have all of the games available without re-downloading, so this makes digital storage capacity at the console critical for me.Hooking up this drive, formatting it, and moving games over from the internal PS4 HD was much easier than I had anticipated. Downloading games from PSN to the external hard drive is also seamless. Running games directly from the portable drive through the USB 3.0 connection doesn't seem to be any slower than launching them from the internal hard drive, at least I haven't noticed any difference in the load times by subjective evaluation. When running continuously, like during a game transfers, the drive gets warm but doesn't seem to get hot enough where I would be concerned.The only major down side to this drive, and it's a flaw with most of the 2.5" based WD portable drives, is that they put the drive's activity light right next to the USB cable connection. I have the drive stacked on top of my PS4 so that i can see the light flash whenever it's reading / writing. I would rather not see the cable, which has to be twisted from the front back around the housing to plug it into the rear PS4 USB port. Depending on how you route the cable, you may not be able to see the light from certain angles if the cable blocks your line of sight. It's not a big deal, but it would be nicer if they had the drive activity light on the other side for a cleaner looking setup.The other down side, which doesn't bother me at all since I'm not planning to tear this thing apart and I haven't verified this info personally, is that according to youtube reviews the drive itself is not a standard 2.5" SATA laptop drive. The actual hard drive is a portable specific build with a different interface board, so you can't disassemble this bad boy and pop the drive into something else or use the enclosure with a different 2.5" HD.I've only had mine for a couple of months, but so far I have no complaints. It does everything I need with no perceivable penalty in performance. The extra storage space (5TB!) is a life saver since I had maxed out my PS4's internal drive, and it had already been upgraded to a 2TB drive. This is a much better option than cutting up the PS4's case to fit the height of a 4TB internal replacement. In addition, Sony did a nice job in making this approach a well supported option for expanding the PS4's storage capacity.

It’s perfect and worth it but the PS five downloads so much stuff every time you use it it just makes me so mad, but the project is really good
