Rating: 5/5 Everything I needed, and more! September 11, 2017 I decided to purchase a kit to upgrade my PS4 and am glad I did. No worries on what drive will fit/work with the PS4, no reading drive reviews and hoping the information was valid, no worries about forgetting to order one thing or another. This is a comprehensive kit that contains everything you'll need. I like the idea of using the enclosed drive enclosure (and a cloth pouch) for the drive I replaced, which I'll put to use as additional PS4 storage if/when I need to. I also want to express my appreciation for OWC's video tutorial showing the EXACT steps needed to replace and re-install a new drive, how to load the PS4 installation file, and how to backup saved data and/or game data. Nothing was left out, nothing was missed. I used that video to confirm my actions and it was awesome to have visual/audio confirmation. It took less than 30 minutes to swap the drives; backing up the games from the PS4 took around 2 hours, as did restoring those games to the new drive. Faster than downloading them again :) This upgrade was easy, and now I have many games on the PS4 with no worries when buying a new game about trying to decide which game to delete just to make room. The Labor Day sale/discount was the deal-maker for me Very pleased!!! One more thing, I received the package from OWC in two (2) days. Ordered on the 6th, received on the 8th!! Great kit, great deal, great customer service!

Rating: 4/5 Worth MUCH more than the sum of its parts... February 27, 2017 Upon opening up my 2TB upgrade kit, I was a little bit taken aback – the included USB 3.0 drive enclosure was rather cheaply constructed and the flash drive was about as simple as they come. The real value in this kit, however, isn’t found in the packed-in extras.

Try researching hard drives that are compatible with the PlayStation 4 and you’ll quickly find a lot of contradictory (or even incorrect) information. The Samsung/Seagate drive included with this kit just works. Period. Add to that an instruction leaflet which is actually correct and up-to-date (the same can’t be said for Sony’s own website) and my review of this kit becomes a whole lot more favorable.

While the amount paid for this kit (over buying a standalone hard drive) seems like quite a premium for a cheap drive enclosure, a cheaper thumb drive and a miniature Phillips head driver, the real value in this kit is the research and knowledge that when into putting it all together. Sony’s made upgrading the system hard drive far more difficult this console generation. OWC makes the headache a lot more bearable.

One final note – if the hard drive you’re replacing is already chock-full of games and other media, you’ll want to have a spare 500GB – 1TB USB 3.0 drive on hand to transfer your data to. Otherwise, you’ll have to reinstall all your games a la carte, a process which could take you hours (or possibly days, depending on the speed of your internet connection).

Reviewer: DeeC
Rating: 5/5 Amazing! January 8, 2017 Purchased this Drive Upgrade Kit for my son who had to delete games in order to download new ones. Installation was easy as 1-2-3. We actually watched a step by step "how to" video on the MacSales.com website and swapped out the drives with such ease. My son could not be happier and now has enough space for over 50 games and no longer needs to delete anything. I purchased the drive as a Christmas gift and it was a complete hit.

Thank you MacSales for the great price, prompt delivery and instructional installation video !!

Rating: 4/5 So far so good. October 6, 2015 The delivery was faster than expected, the packaging was well protected, the hard drive was easy to install, and so far I have had zero issues with the hard drive with my PS4. I only give it 4 stars for it is still relatively new and if it stays how it is till around a years time I would happily give it a 5 star rating. So far the performance is the same mostly to the stock drive and in some instances better. I already have a terabyte of games downloaded through disc and digital content and am waiting for a couple games to add soon when some decent discounts hit. So overall at this moment I am pleased by the delivery speed and the extra storage space the hard drive gives me. If I become unlucky and the hard drive fails I will contact OWC to see about repairs or a replacement if needed and if the customer support is good I will not lower my 4 stars, but then I won't be raising a 5 star product for it. So 4 stars is what I rate it as of now and will come back to change it if it stays solid or if it fails and I get bad support. Recommend getting the PS4 file on you computer so it's ready when you get the 8gb flash drive and back up your saves on PS Plus and the flash drive just in case. If you have a PS3 that is less than 500 GB you can use the PS4 stock drive, but be careful when unscrewing the PS3 mounting bracket for its screws strip way to easily it is a joke... The screwdriver that comes with this package works fine on PS4, but the small handle can make it annoying on the craptastic 4 screws for the PS3 bracket... Those screws on my PS3 where tighten way to much and getting the screws off left two of them stripped because they are cheap and terrible screws... Sorry for the rant on the PS3 mounting bracket screws. I would definitely buy this product again if needed as of now I'm happy with it.

Rating: 5/5 Excellent Product. Glad I found it. August 6, 2015 After filling my 500 gig drive on my PS4, I started to look for upgrade options to replace the drive. Typical of the internet, everyone has an opinion on which HDD to use. OWC putting together a kit containing everything I needed to do the swap seamlessly with the knowledge that every item was put together to solve my problem. The kit took less than 15 min to install - start to finish. Instructions were perfect. The only real complaint I could have, if it can be called a complaint, is that the HDD enclosure provided for the old HDD seams a little cheap being made of plastic and I would have liked anodized aluminum. However, the price of the kit is excellent so one can't complain too loudly. Also - look for the flash drive in the HDD enclosure case. I thought it was missing and used a different flash drive only to find it when I went to put the old HDD in the enclosure.

Rating: 5/5 Great price works and fits perfectly December 31, 2014 I got this hard drive to upgrade the one I got in my ps4 from day one and was just about full. It fits perfectly in the ps4 with no issues on that end. The biggest and only issue I had was installing the ps4 up date file. I read plenty of reviews on this hard drive as others and this one was the best for what I needed it is a little quieter then the factory one and just a little faster but the biggest thing is you have 1.77 tb for game save data after all the updates and firmware install on the ps4. A few tips that are not in the instructions that may help out make sure the tumbdrive is formatted to fat32,don't over tighten the four screws that hold the hard drive to the housing just snug. If your ps4 is still under warrenty make sure you keep your old hard drive Sony may want you to put it back in the ps4 cause they may not send your nice 2tb hard drive back if they replace your ps4. My biggest complaints are on Sony's end on their web page there is about 4 or 5 download spots well I ended up downloading and deleting and redownloading about 4 times before I got the correct one and I was downloading the 750mb +. OWC did there part great product included as a kit trying to simplify the process now if only Sony will do the same.

Rating: 5/5 best kit to buy for ps4 December 28, 2014 I bought this kit for my ps4 and it installed since the 13th, so far its working great and I would recommend this to anyone wanting a bigger hard drive for their ps4 console. The only issue I had was the screw driver that comes with the kit, the handle is small and its hard to get a grip to remove the hard drive screw so I would recommend getting a screw driver with a longer handle. Overall excellent hard drive and you won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5/5 Recommended November 29, 2014 If you're looking to upgrade your PS4 HDD, you can't go wrong here. Included in the kit is everything you need (as well as the enclosure to use the old PS4 HDD as extra storage space on your PC or Mac), with the exception of the firmware update from Sony. The new HDD actually works more efficiently than the factory loaded one. Load times are much shorter, not to mention the huge amount of space there is for games, etc. The only complaint I have it with the set up. Installing the HDD is easy enough, rather, my problem was with the firmware update from Sony. There was also nothing detailing it in OWC's instructions (which are otherwise quite thorough). Sony's knowledge base is also a little vague. There are actually two different firmware update files, a smaller one which is around 200 mb, and a larger one, which is about 750 mb. The one you need in order to initialize and format the HDD is the larger one, so make sure the one you download is around 750 mb. If you try to use the smaller one, the PS4 will give you an error message. I found this out the hard way, as I tried using four different flash drives before calling Sony's tech support. Also, make sure the flash drive is formatted using the FAT 32 filing system, otherwise the PS4 won't read it.

Rating: 5/5 PS4 HDD Upgrade June 20, 2014 I recently was looking to upgrade my PS4 HDD, and wanted to get as large capacity as I could, researched online and at the time the max size I could find was 1.5TB. I received an email from OWC letting me know about their latest products and specials and saw this kit. I immediately went to their site and looked at it. It had exactly what I was looking for, and it even allowed me to use my old HDD as an external back up drive for either my PS4 or my computer. Loved the detailed step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade the drive too.

Rating: 5/5 Awesome deal and great quality! February 27, 2014 I just installed my 1.5TB HDD into my new PS4 on Tuesday and it works perfectly! The shipment arrived quickly and was very well packaged. Everything you need is in this kit along with very easy to understand instructions to help you install the product. All Items were in perfect condition and the whole process of unpacking, swapping HDDs, downloading the Playstation System Software, and re-installing everything took about 30 minutes max (I left the room as it was downloading/re-installing). It is really nice that they include the equipment to turn the old HDD into an external harddrive as well so that you can use it with a laptop. I am extremely pleased with the product and the service OWC provided. I would HIGHLY recommend this company and product to my friends, family, and anyone else looking to beef up their PS4 hard drive!

Rating: 5/5 Must Buy PS4 Hard Drive Upgrade February 13, 2014 Install and downtime was a mere 20 minutes and then I was up and running with no issues whatsoever. I was having issues with the stock 500GB HDD so I decided to pick up this DIY kit and it is totally worth it so far. Ps4 is a bit more responsive and a bit quicker on load times and overall system performance with minimal lag in the XMB and loading apps adn so on. Will update soon after it's been in for about a week to give an overall impression of the upgrade.
