HDD or SSD Replacement for PS4

[Matthew-san]

I'm looking for a 2.5 Inch HDD or SSD to replace a hard drive in a PS4. The faster the better but it can't cost over $80. 1 TB is the preferred size but 750 GB would be satisfactory as well. If it's also possible to have a 7200 RPM and a 64 Mb cache then that would be great too. Can anyone help me out?

Try - WD Black WD7500BPKX, 7200RPM, 750GB, 16MB Cache, SATA 3Gbps, 2.5in, 9.5mm high - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236561

Thanks i7Baby, that looks like a better priced alternative than what I was looking at getting. I was thinking about getting this but it's a bit more expensive:

Would the Seagate or WD Black perform better? I'm hoping to lower the boot time and all loading times during games and I'm not sure which would be better.

A Hybrid HDD does really well with the PS4, performing really close to a full SSD in fact.

There is actually a small toms article that even gives comparisons!

**Edit, I see 2 seconds before I posted you actually linked the same Hard Drive. It would be worth it, especially if you consider the extra $15 investment will be utilized over the entire console lifespan.

I may go with the Seagate Hybrid then and it's right at my budget
