The reason it dropped straight to 3.68 TB after formatting is because the formatting of the drive itself involves splitting the 4TB of space into 'sectors' and labelling said sectors for easier and faster access to the memory later, so unfortunately the formatting itself takes up a a large amount of memory on such a big drive but there again without the formatting, it would take much longer to search through the whole 4TB to find and load the games so unfortunately we can't have it both ways!

Pretty good sometimes when I leave the PS4 in rest mode, I think there isn't enough power going to the WD, so it sometime disconnects improperly. I have had it a few years now. Honestly, just for speed purposes I would go with an SSD but they are much more expensive, or at least they were at the time.

Nice one bro even if I am late to the party. After my son asking for the PS Plus sub and getting cloud space of 100GB I thought well he needs an external. Not being a tech type person read some reviews from various sites and some would scare you. The product you bought and reviewed back then is the same I bought today, in a sale at Power Buy an Electronic/Electrical Outlet in S.E Asia so wanted to get it right as returns are frowned upon on most things. Anyway went to the store they never had what I was looking for which was a Game specific WD but with only 2TB, they had this one though. Quick look online again and the only thing that I could ascertain was that it was rated highly and the 3.0 USB was the thing to shoot for. So bought it then went to U-TUBE then you appear. My concern was the reviews i had read, buzzwords like some re-formatting required so that had alarm bells ringing for me. Should I have worried well no, your video was no B/S and the formatting was a click of the controller. Great upload easy followed and to the point man which I like, an easy subscribe for me and sure to hit you up for some issues along the way on various things that for some reason forums like Reddit and Playstation groups are very snooty about shall we say. Or what I would call a bunch of wankers but that is another story. Cheers man and after finally getting a handle on all the nuances that Sony lay down for you and mine fields I am about to put myself through it all again with a PS5 for Christmas on the cards.

Dustin Hawk awesome that Spider-Man ps4 looks tight. I'm loving my 4tb, still have plenty of space the 4tb is perfectly fine, you could even get a 3tb or even a 2tb if you wanted. The ps4 pro comes with 1tb so you are already better off then I was with my 500gb ps4. What are you willing to spend??? Cause when you format the hard drive to the ps4 it really cant be used for anything else without reformatting. Which means everything deleted.

I know that when the hard drive is plugged in it is using some power from the USB. Whenever I put my ps4 in rest mode, I'm guessing there isn't enough power to run both the ps4 and the hard drive. So, it gives the error that the hard drive was disconnected improperly the last time. I haven't experienced any data loss or corrupted hard drive. Also, game save data cannot be saved to the hard drive. So, even if the HD dies, that should not affect your progress on your games. Just redownload your games.

Bro. Really great video I was looking for. I really have a question for you. I have ps4 slim with 1tb internal. I m almost at 860gb. Full. Shud I put 2tb firecuda as internal drive and upgrade. or shud I buy the 4tb my passport wd external. Point being. That may be in future I need to change the console or reinitialize due to some issue. What do u suggest. For me the cost is same for 2tb firecuda with 8gb ssd cache or simply plug in and external. I am very much against external drives due to the fail rate of any given external upgrades compared to internal upgrades. Still your opnion counts. Lmk

Id say if you looked up the info for both external and internal. Either should be fine I got this one because it was cheaper where I was. I personally like WD products, but I have had a couple instences where I was sitting down to play and my hard drive was like "External Device not connected." Its only happened a couple of times and I would just restart the system making sure the cables were connected properly and it was all good. I dont mind an external but I think the internal might be more reliable. if its the same price I'd go for the internal. Just make sire it conelnects to ps4. Lol Hope this helps.

@@JamesBlackpanda hmm. My download rate is crazy with ps4 plus free games. I downloaded destiny 2 67gb plus more for game plus more for update. So basically I downloaded 100gb in a day with destiny 2 and f1 2017 demo. Was 40gb plus. Plus game data. So u can imagine the rate I am going at. And 2018. All free games will be huge. Also I have a complete vr kit with aim controller and move. So my games are all huge. Hmm still thinking if 5tb or 4tb should be fine or. 2tb internal.

AZOOZ KOVA did it ask you to format when you plugged it in? If not then going to the external storage device settings and try to format it to the PS4 that should be in external devices in the PS4 menu see if you can format it from there. If you have formatted it then I have no idea I'll have to look it up

I got one of these last week and when I plugged it in it say the device is not connected. I've rebooted and restarted with it plugged in and out, I've connected it to my pc and it detects and initialises set up there. Any ideas/Help on how to remedy this? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I haven't had any issues since I bought and started using mine. The only thing is sometimes the hardrive will disconnect and you have to "repair" it on the system it will say "repair harddrive" and it fixes itself and connects back. No corruption or loss of data. Hope this helps

knothole dude If you have an internal hard drive for PS4, which you should along with the external hard drive, either the my passport or another one, if you hit stop using this extended storage it should just save to your internal hard drive instead of your external hard drive to my knowledge that's what I think it does.

I dont know the number exactly but if your 500gb ps4 ever is full where it says "can't download update manger storage" or "not enough space" then with a 2tb you will be able to download 4x that.
