PS4 Upgrade

Reviewed in Australia on 21 March 2018

Capacity: 2TBVerified Purchase

Purchased for PS4 slim upgrade, its 2mm thinner than the HDD bay so you need to hold it up to screw in but it started first go and is working fine with plenty of space for the games I had queued to download.

The only not so great thing was packaging from the amazon warehouse. It was rattling around loose in the box with a second controller that i bought at the same time. There was some paper shoved in with it but not much.

First up: this hard drive was difficult to find locally for a good price. It was mostly sold out.

I bought this hybrid drive for my ps4. Easy transfer, no hiccups and, it’s been a couple of weeks and it has not failed. And it’s fabulous to see so much space for all my games, finally!

Delivery took a while, because COVID, but it has otherwise been great! Thank you!

Muy bien en un portátil pero hay que saber lo que se compra

Reviewed in Spain on 19 March 2019

Capacity: 2TBVerified Purchase

Contento de la compra aunque viendo otras opiniones no me extraña que sean de baja calificación pero por desconocimiento del producto, es decir algunas personas no saben lo que están comprando.

Este disco es híbrido y su funcionamiento se basa en que los bloques del disco magnético más frecuentemente utilizados se duplican en una memoria interna de tipo SSD. Para ello es imprescindible que existan esos bloques que se utilizan con una frecuencia claramente superior al resto del disco.

Van algunos ejemplos de gente que no sabe lo que ha comprado, extraído de opiniones del producto en Amazon y otros sitios:

1) "lo compré para hacer una copia de seguridad y me va igual de lento que un disco normal". Pues claro, como se accede a cada bloque solo una vez, ninguno queda en la cache SSD y aunque quedara tampoco se iba a acceder con más frecuencia.

2) "le pasé un test de velocidad y va igual de lento que un disco normal". Pues claro de nuevo, esos tests suelen crear ficheros con bloques dispersos por el disco magnético y de nuevo no hay ningún bloque que se acceda frecuentemente para que se aloje en la SSD y así mejore su tiempo de acceso.

3) "le acabo de instalar el operativo y va igual de lento". Pues claro de nuevo, debe acceder muchas veces a los mismos ficheros para que sus bloques vayan entrando en la SSD y se acceda más rápido a ellos. Cuando se lleve una docena de inicios del operativo o tiempo usándolo se empezarán a notar mejor sus efectos, no antes.

Resumiendo: el disco está bien solo para casos especiales, por ejemplo si no queremos o si no podemos gastarnos el dinero en una unidad todo SSD o M.2 NVMe que es más rápida pero también más cara. Como disco para el sistema operativo está muy bien en este caso aunque los efectos tardarán algo de tiempo en notarse. Otro ejemplo: juegos que se usan mucho con datos variados. La carga del juego irá bastante rápida. O si tenemos en ese disco utilidades de uso muy frecuente (diseño gráfico, retoque de imágenes, navegadores, ofimática) junto con datos y otros ficheros variados de poco uso. O si alguien está usando un XAMPP para desarrollo y le da caña a la base de datos o a ciertos archivos PHP.

En todos estos casos un disco híbrido de este estilo es una buena alternativa. Para guardar videos no, para hacer copias de seguridad tampoco, ni como almacenamiento genérico.

Las opiniones negativas, solo deben considerarse las que se refieran a fallos del disco. Las de prestaciones no son muy fiables.

Si alguien desea ver las prestaciones comparadas, hay montones de videos en Youtube. Búsquese "SSD vs SSHD vs HD"

Great drive very happy with the performance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 June 2017

Capacity: 2TBVerified Purchase

Great addition to my laptop, which already has a primary SSD and I wanted a large 2nd drive.

I was limited to 7mm and wanted large capacity, and this is perfect, and very fast too.

Copying files between my SSD and the SSHD is amazing, with the SSD cache working fantastic up to 4GB of data and then the hard drive kicking in after.

1) Copy of 4.5GB file from SSD to SSHD - I get 453MB/s up to 4GB then 130MB/s for the remaining 500MB of data.
2) Copy of 6GB Zipped file from SSHD to SSD (where file not in the SSHD Cache) - 134MB/s
3) Copy of 6GB Zipped file from SSHD to SSD (where most of the file in the Cache) - 1.05GB/s then 130MB/s after the 4GB cache

Bought to replace my PS4 internal drive and is perfect for the job

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2017

Capacity: 2TBVerified Purchase

Bought to replace my internal 500gb PS4 Drive and it's absolutely spot on.

It took about 5 minutes to whip the old drive out and replace it with this. The only thing that caused issues was Sony's rubbish instructions (it links to downloading the PS4 Firmware to a USB disk, but the link sends you to a Firmware Update, not the Full Firmware file you require).

Now it's in and setup this drive performs fantastically well, it seems to have significantly reduced loading times as well increased the storage space four fold. It's a steal at this price, even more so with the free Assasins Creed (PC Version) game bundled with it when I purchased it.

Failed after 7 months

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2018

Capacity: 2TBVerified Purchase

I purchased this drive on the 23rd January 2018 as an upgrade for my PS4 Pro, the Seagate ST2000LX001 is a popular recommendation for a PS4/PS4 Pro upgrade drive, it was reasonably priced, offered 2x the storage capacity of the standard drive and should be faster than as well, resulting in less texture pop-in and faster load times.

Earlier today I went to install the new Spider-Man game, and the PS4 Pro just wouldn't start, after multiple restarts I finally got an error that the PS4 can't detect the storage device, so I unplugged the PS4, took out the drive and plugged it into an external HDD caddy and plugged it into my PC, the drive isn't even spinning, let alone being detected. It's just completely died -- shame, as I had many games, save games, screenshots and videos stored on this drive.

I cannot recommend this drive, if you want to upgrade your PS4/PS4 Pro, just get a regular HDD or with how affordable SSDs have become in recent months, get one of them. I'd avoid SSHDs, this drive, while good when it worked just cannot be recommended, not when it failed this quickly.

Perfect for PS4

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2017

Capacity: 2TBVerified Purchase

Bought this HD for my PS4 since the 500gb were not enough. The HD is fast and fits the internal socket of the PS4 perfectly.
Load times were improved a lot, specially in games like the Witcher, were they were a nightmare. Now when I load a game in Witcher, I see the usual story image/text and when the picture disappears the next loading screen almost instantly goes back to the game - used to be around 15-20 seconds wait after the picture (before HD install). 2TB is quite enough and still have 1.2TB free even after installing all my games. Well recommended.
