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

My PS4 is the original Day 1 version with only 500GB of storage. So when after 7 years I got fed up with deleting games I hadn't played in a while to make room for new games, I bought this 2TB storage device. It worked very simply, just plug in and format and it was ready to use. You need to set your PS4 settings to save on this device versus normal storage. The only complaints are that it doesn't have a USB port, it needs to be plugged into a PS4 and only having 1 USB slot is inconvenient, my…

First of all, that's about 1.84 TB from what you can use. Big bright blue light in front, big pain but easy to hide. Use the game on the hard drive, it makes so much noise it reminds me of an old computer. It won't wake the kids up or anything, but it definitely requires you to turn the volume up a few steps.

The hard drive is working properly. Since it's already formatted, it works as soon as you plug it in. The case design is sleek and looks good next to the PS4.

I connected it the first time, everything worked, I didn't have time to paste anything. Went out and came back an hour later and no longer shows up on my PS4 or computer. If I find out it was a mistake on my part I will delete it, if not it's not worth it. Update: After sending another one in, it worked fine for 6 months until I had a power outage and formatted the hard drive and erased everything on itself. My computer can't even tell it's disconnected and Disk Management says there's a fatal…

PROS:1 Great product and works perfectly.2 No surgery or rocket science required. Just plug the power cord into an outlet and the USB cable into your PS4 and you're done. It's bulky and quite heavy for its size, 5-10 pounds I think? It's so uncomfortable to move. The ergonomics of the power cord are poor, especially when using an extension cord. It either covers 2 other sockets or you have to hang it by the edge. (3) Remember that hanging on the edge makes it unreliable and very easy to turn…
