💾 Avolusion HDDGear 3TB External PS4 Gaming Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB Cache, USB 3.0, Pre-Formatted for PS4 - Free 2 Year Warranty Review

I bought this model of external hard drive for my wife. My wife's PS4 hit its maximum storage limit just after I surprised her with a VR system (plus 7 games). The installation process was extremely easy. No problem. I will be happy to post an update on this review in the next 1-3 months IF there are any issues/problems that need to be reported.

PS4 recognizes the device but it is incompatible and causing communication problems with your controller. I spent a very long time trying to figure out what is causing these problems and when I finally found out that the external hard drive was the cause I got rid of a lot of frustration by getting rid of it. My games are finally playable now after it was removed. Don't buy this.

Thank you, so far so good with game saves, data backup and therefore PS4 internet support. Highly recommended, most slot machines like PS4 can accept large amounts of data which leads to internet data corruption and inability to download. Not recommended if you use the internet frequently and play games with others due to high downloads, reactive data and viruses. However, a good machine is like a good storage machine in fast, light and simple configurations. Thank you, good service, delivery…

The thing does exactly what it should. Lots of extra storage. You no longer need to clear your save to start a new game. I didn't have to install or update anything, just plug it in and I was ready to go with 6x the storage. My only complaint is that the thing gets hot. I mean very hot. Not sure if that's how it should be? Every time I turn off my PS4, I also have to flip the switch on the back. I'll probably have to buy a fan or something to fix this problem. That's why I give 4 stars. Beyond…

I bought this product and it worked fine, but suddenly it needed to be fixed. I took steps to return it and buy another one, but before making the actual return I decided to try something, which is to unplug the USB hub I bought and plug it in directly. Well how do you know it was naughty because of the hub? This product needs to be connected directly to your PS4 to work properly. You can play games as long as they are connected to a hub, but it must be connected directly to the PS4 to…

I found my PS4 was running out of storage (RDR2 and Days Gone are huge storage hogs, as is Fallout 4), so I figured it was finally time to get some external storage. There was a little snag when I first put it on, but that was because I didn't pay enough attention to the instructions. Oh, by the way, you CANNOT transfer previously saved games from PS4 console storage to Avolusion hard drive, PS4 makes it impossible. But it's definitely good to save games to it right after plugging it in since…

This is great for Nvidia Shield after some adjustments. I use this to store files (music, pictures, videos, games) on my Nvidia Shield. It was a bit of a hassle as it comes pre-formatted for Xbox and PS4 and isn't recognized by Shield or Windows at all. However, using DISKPART from the Windows command prompt, I was able to delete all partitions and put ntfs on the entire drive. Now it works great! PS - If you just try to use Disk Manager in Windows, you can't do anything with the 700+…

I found my PS4 was running out of memory (RDR2 and Days Gone are huge memory hogs, as is Fallout 4) so I figured I'd finally - then it's time to get some external storage.

I would give 4 stars simply because the USB cable is too long for something clearly intended to sit next to your PS4 but I was surprised by the fact that I only had English directions! yes i am so funny I'm so tired of seeing instructions in 50 different languages that it's a relief to see a product that assumes that if you live in America you actually speak English! Games are loading. I bought this because I didn't have enough internal hard drive space, but if I knew how much internal drive…
