Perfect Upgrade for my PS4

Dammnnn... Also, I forgot Seagate acquired Samsung's HDD division. But I can see this being really useful to laptops

Perfect Upgrade for my PS4 

It's the perfect size as well...

 

I'd rather get a 1TB EVO, but if I wanted to spend less, this would definitely be my purchase.

I think for the PS4, this is perfect.

Great implications for some of the steamboxes

[HaZardousLP]

I can't find any pricing/availability on these drives, does anyone know? I think it's going to go perfect with my PS4. Who cares about external drives when you can change the internal drive

 

Also on a side note, for the HDD in the Xbox 1, is it literally not able to be changed, even if you void the warranty?

Wow, very impressed. I know I keep saying this but HDD tech in the next 10 years is very exciting to me, at least

 

btw, As long as its not running at 4,800 or 5,200 rpm I'm happy.
