  Seems there are some issues with the drive in a PS4 and it not booting up from COLD. There is a work around though which is to hold the power button down for 6-6.5seconds to make it boot. If you keep your PS4 in standby then this issue doesn't really affect you.

  Still a good price for the only drive that will fit in the PS4 atm.

    I would assume the PS4 issue would be the same for PS3's then?

    Appears to be something to do with high capacity drives (>1.5tb) and HDMI initialization?

    Weird.

  Great price.

  Just out of interest OP, how do you know this 2TB has the Samsung M9T in it? I was just browsing some of the bad reviews on Amazon and because Amazon combine all the sizes into one review, there's mention of other drives being in it, but I assume that's the 1TB and 500GB?

  PS3 Cant use > 1.5tb AFAIK

  I tried a 1.5tb drive some time ago and it didn't work.

    I meant 1tb. Using 3.55 firmware.
