I'm still having trouble finding a suitable 1TB 7200 HDD.
Any suggestions?

It's what I used in my PS3 slim. Always been pleased with WD Black series.

I second this. The WD Scorpio Blacks are great hard drives, with great read/write speeds. In addition, I have had nothing but great experiences with Western Digital hard drives. I am rocking a 10 year-old 80GB WD hard drive in my home server that just will not die.If you want a HDD with pure speed, I'd advise to sacrifice the space and get the 750GB Scorpio Black, as the Travelstar seems a little bit slower.
I'm pretty sure that it exists on the 900MB recovery, though I will test. Otherwise it could be on the store.
I'll be able to fit resogun, cod, killzone, knack, skylanders and need for speed.You are going to be deleting things very often.
Sata is backwards compatible.
I have a sata 3 256 ssd in my ps4 now. Was 188 gb after formatting. Boot times for games is fantastic. Much faster then the 5200 standard drive.
This is what I have coming with my PS4 today. Does anyone know how much this performance differs from the stock HDD?Posted this last night.

So far cold boot - 17-20 secs from the beep
Complete shutdown - 28-32 secs
Standby shutdown - 20-22 secs
Standby boot - 18-20 secs
All with auto login. I tested it a few more times and the results change a little. Sometimes a little less or sometimes a little more. I can update tonight to see if anything major changes but those were the most common numbers i was getting.
SATA III speeds aren't supported, but SATA III drives will work.
This is what I have running in my PS4, it's SATA III capable but runs just fine in my PS4; just uses SATA II speeds. I'll try and post up some speeds in this post later, and edit in more games as I test them.
*Edit*
HDD Installed (model # & size): HGST Travelstar 2.5-Inch 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6GB/s 32MB Cache Internal Hard Drive (model 0S03563)
Cost of HDD: $70 (was a sale on amazon, currently $90)
Boot from cold time: 20 seconds (from first beep until the first text shows up on screen)
Boot from standby time: 3.5 seconds (from first beep until main screen)
Game boot times (from XMB to actually playing, Disk/Digital):
Resogun: 12 seconds (from pressing start until first text appears)
Killzone: Shadowfall (disk): 10.1 seconds (from pressing start until splash screen)
Contrast: 5 seconds (from pressing start until first splash screen)

This looks good.
Is that the same type of comparison with Resogun that is 20 seconds and the SSD was 10s to boot?
Would this 2 TB HDD 2,5" 15mm work with the PS4?

Looked at the gif,as far as I can see yes I tested the same way they did

one thing I'm definitely noticing using the drive that came with the PS4 is how damn slow it is installing games that are currently downloading
hopefully sticking a SSD in would fix that
no, you have to wait for the Samsung 2TB 9.5mm drives to release
Those are the directions on how to install the new software on a new hard drive. It's a different file from the 1.5 update. This is for new hard drives and is a 859mb file as opposed to the much smaller update, and it requires a flash drive. If you want the hardware installation directions, GameSpot did a video about it. (They get to the software aspect near the end, but never give you a link to the files you need.)

Anyone recommend any good SSD drives?
Sounds pretty damn fast, and that's the same HDD I got as well.
Anyone tried 12.5mm ?
First thing I'm doing, if the damn console would show up.Åesop;89992193 said:Cant wait for someone to test the new Samsung EVO SSD

That is a massive difference! Why?
Not sure what his testing consists of, but my interpretation of standby boot is when the console's light is orange and my tv is no longer getting a signal to press the ps button and start my stopwatch when the console beeps, and then stopping the stopwatch when the PS4 is back on the main screen. tried it 4 times now and it's 3.5 seconds everytime.
So 9,5mm is the maximum height PS4 can support?
Could someone with a stock drive also post their times?
Whole bunch of posts glad that we have the thread, not so many actual results lol.

I don't have a Samsung Evo on hand, but I have a Toshiba Q 256GB SSD showing up today. I'll let you guys know how it is. Toshiba's SSD's are very fast, many of the other SSD/HDD companies use their NAND in fact.
Do you guys want me to compare stock drive vs SSD? I can benchmark the stock drive, rip it out, put in the SSD...
subbed thread. because 500GB is so small.feel like 1TB is too. is there a 1.5TB HDD that is worht getting?

Samsung MZ-7TE500BW Disque Flash SSD interne Série 840 EVO BASIC 2,5" 500 Go SATA grey : http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00E3915Y4/

Some quick test:
HDD: 5400 vs 7200
Boot: 36s vs 22s
Stand: 25s vs 25s
Ghost: 15s vs 12s
Guessing, with standby, data is loaded into ram so makes no difference in HDD speeds.
Which STD is it? It's important we have the stat on it.
jk thanks for all the postings
Will an SSD or 7200rpm HDD make the system run hotter?
