Got it a few days ago, So far so good. When I open the packaging amazing put it in there was some type of stickyness on the box though.
I contacted Amazon right away , and they offered me $10 for the inconvenience.
Make sure to TURN PS4 FULLY OFF FIRST THEN PLUG IN, BEST IMO. It was ready to go in less than 5min.
I already upgraded the Internal HDD 1 x and realized the exteral prices were much better and you got much much more space. Great price.
Love it ..removing 1star due to whatever the stickyness was on the outside of the box, people in the wherehouse neeed to watch how to handle items better .
EDITED: Meant to add I have my PS4PRO In a Vertical stand,its a 3 in 1,Stand/2cooling fans/and 2 USB port. So I have it plugged in and sitting up against the side of the PS4 for now, With a Smaller TV speaker in front of it to make sure it does not fall over or any thing.
I read a Comment where someone Mention It for some reasons will make the Bluetooth Controller disconnect. This actually happen to me last night a few times, But after turning it right back on it did not and has not done it again. Im not Sure what would cause that. I am going to however Move it tword the back more or off to the side. Its not a issue, Its just kinda Odd.
Also My SSHD Seagate Firecuda Internal I 1st Upgraded with is full except I decided to free up 100GB (Almost) For updates. When setting up the HDD Best thing to do is
TURN PS4 FULLY OFF
PLUG IN USB TO HDD
TURN BACK ON.
It does Have to be Formatted but its SUPER FAST AND VERY SIMPLE,Nothing was on it so There was nothing to wipe clean.
It did at 1 screen tell me that
SCREEN SHOTS AND SCREEN CLIPS Would not save to it(NO IDEA WHY)
I have had it since Wednesday Morning Of August 30th/ My Internet Speed Is Somewhat slow so Many of the games I had saving waiting to download I got from Gamesharing with a friend have Just been sitting and waiting for me to download. Some are 68g b and under. I have had my PS4 on since Wednesday downloading all my new games and the DLC, Just to see if it gets HOT I checked and for it to have been on and still is on since Mid week,It is BARELY warm. So That Is a Good thing.
Already have right over 400GB in games on it. I use to and still do buy my games by Disc but As of lately I have just decided to start buying digitally. It may Take a day to download But I like Having my PSN ACCOUNT LINKED TO SONY REWARDS SITE, Everytime u spend money in PSSTORE, you get Points on SONYREWARDS and can save up to redeem several things.
So All In all Great HDD. External is the way to go! You pay less and end up getting more room. I prob Should have got a 3TB but thats Ok, If the time comes I can and just transfer from one to the other and Have This as well..
It literally takes less than 5min to get going. I have my PS4 Set for everything to go to External as of now. Its very simple. It took longer getting it out the box then setting it up,lol..
If any1 has any IDEA WHY it would cause the PS4 to just disconnect out the blue please reply after reading and let me know..
Any questions please ask. Lastly , I have heard WD Is Not the best way to go with PS4's,I cant confirm that But I have read that info 2x.
Both my Internal and External Seagates are Great. Both meant for gaming.
I will say that the SSHD Internal firecuda, Didn't make any difference in speed, If it did its very very minimal.
And spending money on a actual SSD on a PS4 is insane IMO.
Hope this info was helpful
