Is this Hard Drive compatible with a PS4 Console

[Chereboy]

Hi guys, I've been having massive issues with my PS4 Console and I believe that the cause is the Hard Drive. It is the stock Hard Drive and I believe it is corrupted beyond repair due to it not even loading or allowing me to install the latest update file thorough any means. I am now looking for a new Hard Drive, one that is significantly bigger in storage space, 2TB to be exact, and I came across this item. Seagate ST2000DM001 2TB Barracuda Desktop HDD 3.5” 7200RPM SATA3 Hard Drive. I wanted to know if this is compatible with a PS4 console or if the physical size is too big to fit into the PS4. Sorry for making this soo long, it just I'm a little frustrated with my PS4 at the moment becuase its been freezing and giving me the same error message over and over "Please update to the latest version" to which it would send me to the Update Menu and say "You already have the latest Update File". This error kept coming up more and more often over the last 3 or so months and now it completely died on me last night.

This may help with drive replacement on PS4:

Please be aware that I am not saying it's definitely a hard drive issue as I do not own any game consoles.
You'll have to seek more confirmation as to whether it's the hard drive that needs replacing.

Why do you want to install a 3.5 inch HDD in PS4 ? any reason for this ?

you can do it but Externally ... internally you will need a 2.5 inch
