A 2tb Xbox One S is $400. A 1tb PS4 Pro is $400. If you really want 2tb, you can put one in the Pro, but Sony definitely made the right call on storage when you look at that price comparison.

plenty, basically any 2.5" laptop drives. People seem to really like the 2TB firecuda by seagate though.
There are lots of 2.5" drives that are too tall to fit. Stay at or under the 9.5mm limit, which currently eliminates any hard drives larger than 2TB (but it doesn't necessarily mean all 2TB drives will fit, be sure to check the height specifications.)

It's a 5400rpm drive so yes.
Well they cost virtually the same while the PS4 Pro has far superior hardware, can't really complain.
hmm i didn't know that, thanks. i'm mainly tempted for the firecuda if there will be performance gains to be had.

Is there a good deal for this drive going on?

Hey guys,
One more question. I just put my original 500 GB hard drive that came with the PS4 back in and took the 1TB hard drive out. I had backed up the 1 TB one. Now I'm setting it up to sell (the guy agreed to pick up tomorrow). How do I get it set back up for him with the OS running? In Safe Mode, what do I choose?
Restore Default Settings?
Rebuild database?
Initialize PS4?
Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)?

I looked around and WD has a 2TB 2.5" drive but its many mm tall to fit
not touching anything by seagate. I guess if I upgrade I'll do some sort of lateral upgrade like a 7200rpm 1TB Hitachi drive

HDD throughput performance is determined by...

You need to know the full platter configuration to estimate performance and there may be multiple suppliers.
for games. Hardware kinda comes out whenever

Man I REALLY hope that someone buys my PS4 that I'm selling otherwise I won't be able to keep my preorder and I'll have to cancel. Still, this is super exciting and I can't wait for this to come out!

What do you have against Seagate? Their SSHDs and the 2TB MT9 (Samsung drive?) have been very popular with PS4 owners, including me.
I think on the Desktop side, Seagate HDDs has a little bit of a history of higher failure rates compared to other HDD brands.

Its $169 at Newegg. I went for speed over storage size. 750GB is enough for me.. I'm more concern about texture streaming and loading times.
Does the mail run on Election Day? Thought it was a federal holiday..or something
Ps Pro is incredibly competitive price wise.
I had no idea Xbox One S could go up to $400.Why would anyone buy that in the presence of a Pro ?

Fuck it, I ordered a Pro. I'm mostly concerned with:
1. Best possible PSVR experience
2. FFXV best possible experience
3.
I still wish Sony would come up with something that would passthrough HDR with the PSVR breakout box connected. I'm still upset about that.

Pro wasn't even on my radar, until today, when a co-worker made me an offer on my PS4 and I accepted. Now all I have to do is wait for its release and I can play again! Is Minecraft getting a patch?
4k blu ray future of course

Of all the games I'm going to try next Thursday I'm most excited for Shadow of Mordor. Game was super fun and looked great already. Can't wait to see what the Pro can do for that dark beauty.
Might I ask when you did order?
Amazon tells me
I used morning-express as delivery method and pre-ordered the minute it got up. o.o

What a terrible idea. Who the hell wants a slowass 2tb drive? You should've went with the 500gb and waited for the 2tb sshd.
why did sony have to completely screw up an easy purchase for me by not including a 4k blu-ray player in this thing
that + the complete lack of any kind of trade in deals is making this a very hard purchase...
4K blu ray is the deal breaker?
So we ordered on the same day..strange :/ I mean you could try changing to morning express. maybe that'll help?
either-way, I hope you get yours this week
! Edit: Oh you're from Finland...okay, that explains the longer delivery time. Still I hope they deliver fast
!Just checked.. mail does run on election day. I may get the SSD on Wednesday! I rather this due to the fact UPS comes late where I live.
Your elitist/arrogant views are boring me now. I calibrated the TV using that video and the picture looks brilliant. Of course it looks nowhere near as good as a 65" OLED panel, but it does the job well for me. I chose 40" because I'm not a rich bastard who can afford a mansion. My living room is fairly small. I think anything bigger than 40" would be too much. I'm happy with the TV I have for now.
The biggest difference is seek time for loading assets
Writing and general transfer speed are limited by the motherboard (based on what I saw for digital foundry's tests)
I've had an s since launch and used the uhd drive zero times, if it's that big a deal I wouldn't want a games console to be my player I'd want a real standalone unit.why did sony have to completely screw up an easy purchase for me by not including a 4k blu-ray player in this thing
that + the complete lack of any kind of trade in deals is making this a very hard purchase...
So only loading would be faster? Installing/copying would be about the same?
Wait for DF to show their numbers and you'll have a definitive answer for PS4 Pro, rather than guesswork based on the PS4 testing.
