    Will this work with the ps4?

      Yes can be removed from case for internal use. Or external backup/media drive.

      It doesn't look like it but I recommend putting the Seagate 2.5" SSHD for the PS4. I placed one in yesterday and there is a noticeable difference in loading speeds. Not to mention the extra storage for games :)

      7200rpm drives are limited to 1TB.

          (d) What should I do if I have changed my mind and want to return a product?

          Please choose carefully as Dick Smith does not normally accept return of products where you have simply changed your mind.

          It says "not normally" but I have returned stuff before unopened and with receipt without a problem.

    • gizmomelb on 23/08/2015 - 01:35

      I installed one just last week in the PS4 (which cost me $148 from JB), but I'm out of storage for downloads and the second drive will come in useful either down the track, or maybe I'll just install the 2.5"drive in my NAS so I can use that for lower power downloads, instead of having my desktop on 24/7

      I order click and collect at around 3pm this afternoon, had the sms at 4:30 that order was ready, made it into DSE just before closing time. Salesperson was impressed they were so cheap.

      What happens?

      • soymeat on 22/08/2015 - 16:31
        +3

        I did not know it until Wheatgrass hinted at it and I followed up with a google search, but apparently this Hard Drive will make periodic chirping/buzzing noises when installed in a PS4! Lots of forums seem to talk about the same issue:
        https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/3fmexd/after_changing_…

        With this being the only 2TB HDD that fits in a PS4, and with it being so cheap, might still be worth it for a lot of people.

      • Wheatgrass on 22/08/2015 - 16:33
        +1

        I've seen people mention the drive making a noise, like a beep or "chirp", in their Playstation 4s. I'm not a PC person, but from what I've read some people think the noise happens because the drive switches between different areas to load data, or it isn't getting enough power.

        Either way, I personally don't want to deal with worrying over the possible noises.

        Edit: Ninja'd by Dero. :P

          the noise can also be from when the drive is trying to save power by parking the heads; because thats the problem with these drives they are in a lose lose situation.

          try save power because people use them in laptops/battery devices and the drive can make funny noises and potentially wear out faster.

          try and max the performance and the thing sucks juice leading people to complain they are no good to use in laptops etc.

  • [Deactivated] on 22/08/2015 - 17:04

    Thanks , but I will stick with WD. Been buying hard drives for more than 20 years. Have never, repeat NEVER EVER had a Western Digital die. I still have WD IDE drives in networked enclosures from 15 yrs ago, still going. Had plenty of Seagates die. Bought Hitachis as well but they tend to be more expensive.

    So thank you, but no thanks. No Seagates for me.

    P.S I do not work for Western Digital.

    • Grok on 22/08/2015 - 17:08

      Plenty of Western Digital portables fail and with the custom controller once anything breaks, even the USB3 port.

      They are cactus. You cannot remove the drive and use it.

      • skywalka on 29/08/2015 - 12:40

        When you say "custom controller" what are you referring to? Is it a custom interface used in place of SATA?

        • quarrymaster on 29/08/2015 - 14:21

          If it's similar to my experience, by default you couldn't simply take the SATA drive off the SATA to USB bridging board and connect to another, non WD solution - my Mac couldn't see it. Others have commented you could use some Linux or Windows way to format the drive, but that wasn't my option. I don't think it would've made any difference had I used the Mac's Disk Utility to format it.

    • shopaholic32 on 22/08/2015 - 17:24

      correct me if I am wrong here but are these still Samsung SpinPoint drives, not the typical Seagate ones…..unless I am wrong??

      I've been buying hard drives for more than 20 years as well, and have had WD's die. and if you read around, there's no one perfect brand. everyone has problems regardless of brand, you may have just been lucky.

        yep exactly - im in the opposite situation to invalid - been buying drives for 20 years too - only ever had WD drives fail but Im not naive enough to think that WD are crap and seagate are the best.

    • leetec on 22/08/2015 - 17:34

      I have see many many WD die for nearly 20 years, only WD Black is good. For original Seagate not the LP one, much better than WD

      Your sample size is small. I've never had drives from either brand die on me, and I've bought heaps.

      Must have missed the point that they are rebranded samsung drives.

      In any case I never said WD were the best, I just said I have had a very good run with them, even have 15 yr old WDs still going strong. Everyone has ther (psychological) favourites, and it takes a lot, sometimes to shift that. Like a major catastrophe/ data loss.
