For those interested in upgrading their ps4 hard drive:
Yes - This hard drive is compatible with the ps4. Installation of the hard drive was quick and easy, but I ran into many error messages(CE-30774-1) when reinitializing the firmware. Here are a couple of tips I picked up from various websites while I contemplated throwing my "bricked" ps4 out the window.. 1) Don't over tighten the screws holding the hard drive into the ps4. Too tight might cause an issue for some reason.... 2) Make sure you are downloading the correct firmware(~707mb as of July 26, 2014) from the Playstation site. 3) Format your usb drive to FAT32. This is the default setting, but good to know... 4) Make sure to push the usb drive all the way into the ps4. I had to firmly push it in. This is also good to know... 5) When starting your ps4 in safe mode for the first time. Hold the power button down for 7 seconds and you'll hear two beeps. You'll see 7 options. You're selecting option "7". 6) If your ps4 doesn't work... Start over, reformat your usb drive, download the firmware, and use the other usb port when connecting to your ps4. This is actually what I endured after (3) unsuccessful attempts. Hope this helped someone and not many people have the sam experience I had. On a side note, my friend could not get this hard drive to work on his ps4... He installed a 1.5tb hard drive and it worked first try...
