I want to buy a Seagate Barracyfa 2TB 2,5" (
to replace my PS4 PRO native internal hard drive, is it a good choice? -
I had the seagate 2Tb 2.5 SSHD in my PS4 Pro since I bought it. I think it lasted 2-3 years before it failed. Was easy to send it in (I pay shipping) for warranty replacement. It was okay, but I have seen the criticisms of the hybrid drive failure rates. I wound up installing the Samsung Evo SSD this time around. Don't think I'll mess with hybrid anymore.

outside of going with SSD, the best one is Seagate FIREcuda as it has SSHD that helps with loading a bit

I personally recommend buying an SSD since the pro can utilize it. But if you need that much space then I say what you posted there is good enough. Wait for another persons opinion though in case they know something better
ID: gpytt8kI don't need this much space but they are just a bit too expensive and i dont know how to install them

That'll do the job. The guides to replacing it can be found on the Sony website; you'll need a USB stick and a PC to download the System Software onto.

I fell for the Firecuda meme hard on my OG ps4. It lasted 2 years then bunked out. Warranty was tits though and getting it replaced was easy af. I still have a Firecuda in my ps4 as we speak. The barracuda is just a plain hdd, but trust me it will last because it not a hybrid drive. Also for advise either go full hdd or full ssd. No in-between.
ID: gq1mm4yAre hybrid drive so infamous? I didn’t know about that.

I have used the Barracuda drives in computer setups and they have been solid, reliable drives. I have not used one in my Pro as I upgraded to a 1TB Samsung Evo SSD. It made my system menu much snappier and lowered my temperature a little as well as speeding up game load times. It just made my overall Pro gaming experience better with an SSD. I use an external HDD to archive games and game saves I am not playing currently. Install was a breeze. It is no different than the Seagate drive you're looking at. Best of luck with your upgrade choice.

I’ll never buy another Seagata HDD. All HDDs I ever had issues with were Seagate and that’s pretty common. They have unusually high failure rates.
-
Yeah. My pc has two. An SSD would be better though
Edit: would need to be SATA drive SSD. Something like a Samsung 970/870
-
I use one on my PS5, it’s perfectly fine and it loads noticeably quicker than a standard external hard drive
-
I went with a couple of Toshiba Canvio Advance external drives.

If you are in the US I have a branded new sealed Firecuda 2 TB 2.5 SSHD for sale on my facebook listing. Maybe give ya a bit of a discount for being a fellow redditor! PM me if your interested

Those 7mm HDDs are all garbage as far as I'm concerned.
-
Under no circumstances should you be considering an HDD. SSD only.

Firecuda is terrible, I bought 1 and it died in a year. I used the warranty to replace it with Seagate, not only did I have to pay shipping but the new drive they sent didn't even work out the box. I went to replace that one, they had the nerve to charge shipping again. Last one only lasted 8 months, then I finally said gave up and just brought a SSD.
Long story short, I finally bought this one SSD below and never had problems. Now I use it as a external on the PS5 with a Sata to USB connector.
