Question 1

would i be able to upgrade the standard 500 gigs ps4 to this HDD?

Accepted Answer

This is exactly why i bought this drive.  Installed it a week ago, and it has been working perfectly.  Even seems to run quieter than the stock HDD.

Question 2

Is this a hybrid drive or sshd?

Accepted Answer

It is neither Hybrid, nor SSHD. It is a regular magnetic drive.

Question 3

A 9.5 mm drive went bad.  Any problem using this 7 mm drive in its place?

Accepted Answer

Since new drive is thinner, it will fit, and it has standard mounting screw holes. Assuming your old drive isn’t ancient, with an IDE connector (not SATA), it should work. If the old drive had lower capacity, make sure the device supports full capacity of new drive.

Question 4

Does the Sata/Data connections support a regular "Desktop" Cable Connection? Im wanting to install this in my system due to its size and want to be sure its connections are compatible?
 Thanks

Accepted Answer

Yes, it uses the standard SATA power and data cable connections. If your motherboard ports and SATA data cables support 6GBps transfer, even better. If it's not SATA 6GBps, it'll just downgrade the speed but still work.

Question 5

Is this hard drive compatible with Asus ROG GL752VW gaming laptop?

Accepted Answer

Depends, with a 2TB drive size, it will be 7mm thick. This may be too large for your laptop's drive bay. Also, see what your laptop supports in terms of HDD interface (SATA in this case) and what speed it is.

Just an FYI, I used mine for a PS4 HDD upgrade and on occasion I get a brief high pitch noise. Hasn't failed yet on me but I'm getting worried. Just wanted to share.

Question 6

What is the height (thickness) of this HDD? The Features section mentions 15mm but the dimensions section says 7mm.

2.5-inch, 15mm z-height hard drives provide 3TB to 5TB in capacity, offering the highest-capacity 2.5-inch hard drives available for external or all-in-one storage.

15mm z-height enables slimmer all-in-one desktop PC drives while helping reduce system heat generation and vibration.

Accepted Answer

The 1TB and 2TB HDDs are 7mm Z-height.

The 3TB, 4TB, and 5TB HDDs are 15mm Z-height.

Question 7

7 MM THICKNESS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Seagate 2TB BarraCuda has a thickness of 7mm.

Question 8

Are these NEW drives with a manufacture warranty OR Bare Bones, OEM, HDD?

Accepted Answer

They are not in a retail package; they are shipped the same as all other drives from everyone including Newegg that do not say "retail package", which may include screws, cables, and brackets as indicated. I suppose that would be considered OEM. The stated warranty is 2 years parts and labor, with various extensions available. They are in a sealed static-free packet and are definitely new.

Question 9

Is this Hard Drive  Compatible with a Hp Latop Model 15-bs134wm or does it even fit in the laptop?

Accepted Answer

It's a standard 2.5" laptop drive and fits 7mm or 9.5mm bays.

Question 10

I got this hard drive for my PS4 Slim, but now whenever I try to use the web browser everything become very slow or unresponsive. Why is this happening?

Accepted Answer

It functions normally for me. I wouldn't think the HDD per se is the problem. But to check, maybe you can run diagnostics on it, either in the device or by plugging it into an external USB drive dock.
