does this harddrive work with playstation 4? null

Not to replace the internal drive. PS4 uses a 2.5" Drive (usually labelled Laptop). This is a 3.5" drive, so it wont' physically fit inside. Laptop drives are more expensive due to the small size. You might consider an external drive. See: https://support.us.playstation.com/articles/en_US/KC_Article/Upgrade-PS4-HDD/

You can purchase a cover for this and use it as an external usb, but this drive is designed to go inside of a computer tower. Why not just buy an external hdd

These are only 5400rpm drives. I don't know if they would be the best choice for a gaming console which would probably want better speeds for read and write capabilities. They are good for backups or storing data that does not need accessed a lot.

Yes. If you format it properly.

Hi NY Giant, despite this being asked a year ago at this point, and you may have already gotten your answer, if you haven't yet, no this drive would not work. Most 2.5 inch drives will work. I currently use a Seagate Momentus XT 1TB SSHD with a 32GB NAND cache which gives both the benefit of added storage capacity but also for some things the speed of an SSD. The cache is a learning process as it will look at what you use most often and allocate it into the Cache so that what you use most often will load faster. Hope that helps you some in your search for an upgraded PS4 drive.

no, you basically need a laptop hard drive. and do not use a SSD either
