Final Thoughts
With a drive like Seagate’s Game Drive for PS4 with 4TB capacity, the times where you needed to delete games to make room for new are gone. There’s space for 100+ games on the drive, and you also have what you still got internally. For a person like me with fast internet, it’s a convenience factor. But those of you who live where internet connections are spotty at best will love not having to re-download games again.
Performance wise, the drive delivers standard 2.5-inch HDD numbers, around the 125-130MB/s marker. Right as expected. That’s the same as the internal drive in your PS4 delivers and as such, right on par.
The design of the drive is beautifully simple. The black and blue looks great on its own and also together with your PlayStation setup. It has a sturdy build-quality and should keep your games save. It is also quite functional as it works on the power provided through the USB cable despite the large size. There’s no need for an extra power supply for this drive and that increases the freedom and ease.
Pros
- Large capacity
- Bus-powered, no need for an external PSU
- Plug and Play
- Simple and guided setup on the PS4
- Very affordable
Cons
- None
“Seagate’s Game Drive for PS4 would be the perfect Christmas present for any console gamer. It adds up to 8 times the capacity of your internal drive. End the need to delete!”
Thank you, Seagate, for providing us with this sample
Anyone knows, can I install this game drive 4TB inside my PS4 ? I don want to lose warranty if I open hdd cover… Thx in advance
Hi Marek
This is an external drive which will be connected through the USB port. It adds to the internal storage instead of replacing it.
As to internal drives, I haven’t tried installing anything bigger than 2TB in my PS4 – but it should support 4TB internal drives too (if you can find one that fits)
thx for reply
