      How's it holding up? I've seen reviews on Amazon and some say it failed after a few month or corrupted there ps4. Can't decided between this and Seagate 4tb?

    I have a Seagate 2tb external hard drive that I bought back in July of 2018 and still use it to this day. Great investment if your PS4 has low memory or you just have too many games.

    Excellent video, to someone who is not very tech savvy it was clearly presented, it was concise, easy to follow, I feel safe in the knowledge that I can follow your instructions precisely and know that it is right.
    I have a question : Obviously following your instructions on disconnect, can I then connect to a replacement PS4 should this one breakdown, or maybe connect to a friend's PS4 ?

I understand that most likely none of my PS4 apps or games will remain on the hard disk, but will it be able to reformat after switching devices for good?

    One question though. If for example I take out the hdd (gracefully of course), plug it into another ps4 with a different account and maybe even a different region, would those games be playable or they would only be somehow locked to my account? Also would I still be able to plug back the hdd to my ps4 and use it as if nothing happened?
