There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This hardrive is nice and responsive (no longer takes anywhere from several seconds to even several minutes to do anything including something as simple as opening the Win10 start menu), and I'm hoping will last her until at least the remainder of the laptop's lifespan.
As was somewhat apprehensive about using an SSD as they are more expensive and have a finite read/write capacity.
The problem with a larger capacity hard drive is that the 2.5 inch format is limiting. Ideally, one should choose a CMR drive for an NVR. However, the only CMR 2.5 inch drive is the 1TB Toshiba. If you want a larger drive, you end up with an SMR drive. That will decrease the longevity of the drive. As they say, mileage may vary....
If only Unifi allowed a 3.5 inch drive, but they don't and there is no workaround other than MacGyvering an external interface.
This drive is fast, is essentially plug and play, and is working without a hitch.
Just remember to confirm there is a recent backup of the Unifi operating system or you will lose all the camera and other hardware connections.
SO HERE ARE THE IMPORTANT DETAILS:
-The 4TB model of this hard drive will NOT FIT your PS4 without modification!
- YES! It is possible to use the 4TB version with your PS4 if you're willing to do a very simple modification.
- If you choose to do this modification the responsibility of the system falls complete on you, I do not advise anyone to do this if you're not capable of doing things to this degree and I will not be held responsible if you mess up or destroy your system.
HERE IS HOW TO DO THE MODIFICATION:
After you've saved all your data and you're now ready to pull the old hard drive out;
1-Remove the try holding the old HD and just place it away somewhere, YOU WILL NOT BE USING THE TRAY AGAIN!
2- Use small, but very sharp and very strong metal shears to cut away the caging that is covering the area that houses the HD.
3- After you have complete opened the HD area by removing the caging covering it, you will need to place 2 strips of double stick foam tape for the HD to rest on so that it is at the correct height to mate with the plug, this tape will also be what now holds your HD in place.
TAKE NOTE; ONLY USE 2 strips of the tape and allow half an inch to one inch in between them! You DO NOT want your HD to over heat and you need the ventilation that only using the 2 small strips will give you. It will also be more than enough to secure the HD so DO NOT use more! If you completely cover the HD slot in double stick foam tape do not be surprised if your system freezes and fails/shuts down/reboots/or fries out.
4-Once you have the 2 strips of tape in place remove the backside of the sticky tape and start to insert the HD at an angle and move it down and you plug it in until the HD comes in contact with the tape (swooping motion) and now your new 4TB HD is installed.
5 - Replace the top of the PS4 unit, I was able to get mine to fit back on with a little bit of play and force. There is a very very very slight bulge, but you would NEVER EVER be able to tell.
I will try to add pictures of the HD and my modification, again if you choose to do this all responsibility falls upon you!
But it does work and it is VERY easy and simple to do!
***UPDATE*** 12/2018
I’ve been running this HD in my PS4 for a few months now. There is a slight lag/sluggishness at times when multitasking and in the menu. Otherwise it’s been great! Tons of space for what I need! Only way it could be better is if I put a 4tb solid state drive in. Maybe in a future system! PS5?
All of that being said, why did I drop a star from the rating? The drive was shipped in a paper envelope, with nothing but some bubblewrap (fairly thin, as well) around it. I have never seen a drive shipped with so little protection, and almost expected it to fail outright.
Like I said, I will be keeping an eye on it, and would happy pay a few bucks more to protect my investment more than some thin bubblewrap in a paper envelope.
