  I rather spend extra $16 to get a samsung ssd t5 @ Amazon or officeworks, it has better value in my opinion :))

    Also better value to go up to 1tb storage.

  T7 and T5 are better, and so is 1TB, but $69 to plug this straight into the back of your PS4 or one X is a great quality of life upgrade with faster loading times for quite low cost compared to the others.

    Has been the same price at Officeworks for at least the past few weeks. You may be able to grab one from your local store.

  What do most of these drives use these days? 2.5" sata ssd's or all m.2 sticks?

      Any chance you can do a speed test and post the results?

  Or you can get a sata drive that's double the capacity 10 times faster.

    You’re a bit confused there. This drive you posted will be slower as it’s a traditional spinning drive. They use the same USB3 interface but the spinning drive will not get close to using all the bandwidth of USB3.
