Pretty simple, portable HDD suitable for consoles / backup / pr0n etc
I believe these are shuckable (ie the drive can be removed and placed into another device), but I'll have to wait for mine to arrive to confirm.

$75.60 from TGG eBay with PICKY10 code is a good alternative for those who aren't new Amazon users.

We are all new Amazon customers.
But thanks for the link, I'm feeling lazy and already have a lot of shit in my ebay cart, so I might do that just for convenience.
I reckon that in around 6 months, there will be over 25 million amazon new accounts as new users……more then the population of Australia!
They'll have a very large and useless database..

Can you expand on this hack?
@EVA-01:
That is probably better too since you can easily differentiate with what you add and genuinely looks like a different email.
However some sites have issues. I've not been able to get back in to the account I had with Good Guys because of the + sign I'm fairly sure. Pretty rare though but does happen. Occasionally have had sites reject the + completely when signing up too because their regex or whatever is overly restrictive.
I run a pair of these as my primary system & photo library backup drives, and have been very happy with them.
"portable HDD suitable for consoles / backup / pr0n" … I'm going to need a larger capacity drive

Can this be opened up for PS4?
That's what I bought this for. According to my research yes, thought there's a chance some batches might be different?
Yeah, these are the usual drives people shuck and put into their PS4.
Alternatively, you could just save the hassle of backing up and restoring and use it as an external drive for your games (sacrificing one of your USB slots though). I've just had one of these die in my PS4 after only about a year and a half of use and kinda wished I could just pull the bad drive from the port instead of internally replacing it (that's just my experience though: from what I've read, there's not a huge amount of similar stories, so could have just been a dud drive).
I second this. I have one of these drives as external storage on my PS4 and it works great. Didn't have to worry about shucking, backing up and replacing drives, just bung it into a USB port and set it up in about 1 minute.
Any ideas if this 4TB drive would fit into a PS4?

Thanks.
It doesn't as 4TB drives are slightly too large. You can use it via USB and it functions exactly like an internal drive but you'd have to leave it connected.
It should. I believe the drives larger than 2TB are physically also a few millimetres larger though, so you might need to unscrew the actual cage that holds the drive and fiddle a bit. See this video (from the comments, this guy uses the same drive you've linked). But again, I think you'll save yourself a fair bit of hassle if you just mount it externally.
Seagate?! Run Away!!!!!!
I had a 3Tb Seagate the same as this; I shucked it to stick inside my PC so I'm expecting no issue with this one.
The ONLY drive I've had an issue with was a Western Digital USB2 portable HDD; it had the micro USB directly on the motherboard. Everything else I've encountered has had the discrete USB to SATA adapter.
Price seems to $100 when I clicked on it

You can get a 3tb on Amazon for $92, or $72 if you use the new customer $20 bonus thing!
When does the 20$ off offer expire?
Same price at Officeworks too (If you're not a new Amazon user)
