Western Digital 2TB Gaming Drive works with Playstation 4 Portable External Hard Drive - WDBDFF0020BBK-WESN

This product is great. I am able to store and transfer PS4 AND PS5 games to and from my console. If this is plugged in to my console, I can play PS4 games straight from the storage without having to transfer it to my console (does not work for PS5 games) this feature is very helpful. I've had this external hard drive for 5 years and it's still going strong. Would recommend.

Its a good drive for the price. 4 terabytes is quite a bit of space for games. I would think you should be fine unless you buy ALOT of games, like if you review games on a podcast or youtube or something. You just plug it into a USB port and then format the drive under "storage," in your menu and set it as the default location for games. This is all very easy to do, even if you're not PS4 or computer savvy. We haven't noticed any huge difference in load times between the USB drive and the internal drive. The only issue we ran into was our 5 year old accidentally bumped the USB cord with her foot during a game and it crashed the game. So the USB connection does seem to be very sensitive. As long as the PS4 is on a stable surface away from little toes, you'll be fine.

Great 4 TB drive. I use on my ps4. Easy to setup and easy to use. I have a ps4 slim. Easy instructions when you plug usb in to ps4 for the first time. You can make the storage the primary if you want. One thing to note is before you shut off the ps4 you need to “stop” the hard drive first before you shut down the system. Just like disconnecting a usb on the computer. Go to sounds /devices and find “stop using storage “. Click on it and your done. Then shut down the ps4. Very happy with purchase. I recommend it for the extra game storage. It holds a lot and frees up space on your internal hard drive

Update: I have had it for a year and a half and it's still running strong, getting used constantly every day. I'm not too proud to admit that it's had a few falls as I have been trying some different mobile set ups. I need my music most all say every day and I have too much for my laptop, so I keep it on here and stream from my computer to my phone (UPNP media server - foobar app/desktop software, completely free). I noticed with several computers that it has problems connecting unless it runs through my Anker USB hub (pretty sure it's been that way from the start). I swear that hub is magic. I always have that hub connected anyways since I only have 2 ports and I love the extension it provides. Any time you have USB connection problems, try a different cable and/or a good hub. ---------------------------------------- I don't play around when it comes to my data, if a drive seems off in anyway, I will return it and dump the brand usually. I have experience with data loss. The 1st time it happened was with SanDisk and I really have never trusted them again. That was my 1st lesson in having backups for your backups. I will admit it, I am a digital hoarder and have way too much data, but it's a lifetime of buildup. I went to WD 4TB external back in like 2014? I think I had some issues, but not complete failure. I do however have a WD internal drive that I upgraded my 2009 MacBook a long time ago and it's still running strong. I gave Fantom drives a shot for my main backups that stay locked up, they seem to be ok too. I got this one for my daily use. I have a lot of intensive programs on my computer that take up a lot of space, but I also have a ton of music and educational videos that I use for school that just filled up my drive. Having a big bulky drive around everywhere was just not feasible. I gave this guy a shot, not for gaming, but for daily usage. Everything on this drive is backed up, but this one goes with me everywhere and gets used daily, travels a lot. I fully expect it to fail, b/c I'm paranoid, but it hasn't yet, and if/when it does I will update it here and let you know. Until then, this thing looks good, works well and does what I need. It's my traveling media drive that I constantly have plugged in to listen to my large music collection built up over the years. Over 2 months strong, I'm feeling good (knock on wood). I don't have a case for it, I try to baby it when I move it around, but it does travel in my backpack so it gets some jolts here and there, but she's doing well!

Works great the extra storage is amazing I havnt had to delete a game since installing and have added plenty of games I wouldn't have before because I'd be worried about storage space. The device itself is easy to use and thin enough I keep it right intop of the Playstation. It also as somesorta storage protection as it will 'repair' itself when power goes out unexpected. Would recommend it's been amazing definitely worth the cost.

This drive is great for being able to have all your games readily installed without having to uninstall. The only issue is that game load times are slower, it's not unbearably slow, but can be a bit annoying when switching between scenes multiple times, like fast travel & then entering a building in a game like Kingdoms of Amalur. However it's a small price to pay for not having to uninstall/reinstall games due to lack of space. UPDATE: Having had this for a while, I can say it's still going strong & I continue to add to my library (between free psplus games or purchases for my kids) and still have not filled the drive. The other option is to get a SSD (internal or external), which is pricier, & if you go internal, you also have to deal with backing up your current internal drive & then restoring to the new drive.

Good

4TB drive works extremely well with my PS4! So far no problems and it doesn't really seem to effect game load times either (provided the game is installed to it). I'm very happy with the purchase! The only thing I wish was different is for it to have a usb-c connector instead of the dreaded micro-usb b connector. The micro-usb connectors have terrible durability and become very loose/wobbly if you're not careful. Also, for anyone wondering this drive cannot be easily shucked. I have verified the drive logic board includes the usb controller and the usb connector is soldered onto it. I really wish WD would not do this as while I don't have any other intended use for this drive, the Seagate 2.5" 4TB HDDs are just not the same in quality. WD drives are way better but they offer no 2.5" 4TB standalone drive solutions. :(

I have been using this drive for over 3 years now and not once had any issues. Setup was easy peasy and it performs perfectly. It's a bit expensive but worth the money if you want to a have a drive that works well for a long time range.

Bought this to go with my little Xbox Series S as I was running low on storage space. And yes, I know that the description states it’s for PS4. Don’t be fooled. The Only reason it says that is because they made the drive partly blue in colour, which is the colour PlayStation are associated with. And that’s it. The ‘Xbox’ version, you guessed it, is partly green in colour. Aside from that difference the drives are absolutely Identical technically. Anyhow - I plugged it into my Series S and it instantly recognised it, and within seconds it was formatted. Works like a charm and, as with all other Western Digital hard drives I’ve ever owned, I expect it to perform reliably for a long time to come. Recommended!

Received on time and have transferred the contents to and from this drive. Haven't encountered any issues as i've only transferred the content and played once from it.

My firat external hardrive, the 2TB option i purchased. I have had it a day i must say for the PS4 it took a minute to set up and works well with the ps4 and is very straight forward to use. If youre querying getting one i recommend this massively it is tiny, easy to use and now i hav 2 TB of memory instead of 400gb my ps4 has. Although just so you aware before using it leave abit of space on your ps4 harddrive as saved game data and some updates will save there.

Lleva en mi ps4 enchufado, entre 3 o 4 años, y no falla.
