Works for my PS4
Having just recently bought a Playstation 4 Slim, I quickly became aware of the dilemma of storage. I read that PS4s "officially" support up to 2TB but people have been able able to use SSDs with much higher storage than that. Seeing that a 6TB SSD costs more than a brand new PS4 Pro, I decided to go with 4TB and hope for the best. Bottom line, it works fantastically and load times are almost a thing of the past. I'm pretty confident I'll have enough storage for all the PS4 games I want, especially since I'm more of a PS1 and PS2 guy at heart and those take up WAY less space. A few things to note: this drive is very thin so you'll need to hold it up in the caddy for the screws to catch. The only major thing is that it is not plug-and-play with the PS4. I was able to pop a new SSHD into my fat PS3 and the UI still worked and it re-downloaded the update file on its own. The PS4 absolutely will not work with just a new drive, you have to download the update file from the official Playstation website, save it to a USB flash drive (folder "PS4", subfolder "UPDATE" or it will not find the file), and reinstall the entire UI from there. Luckily my system preferences were saved to my PSN ID so I didn't have to redo those. No issues after that entire process, though.
