Review: Reliable Drive - I've had 2 lots of 4 of these drives running in my 4 bay NAS units in a RAID5 configuration (I know, I know, not recommended).. but the uptime of these drives has been outstanding considering I'm pushing them way beyond the recommneded boundaries of use. Until 2 days ago, they've been operational for 8 years with solid use with zero downtime. One failed 2 days ago, so 8 years for cheap drives is pretty good.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: if its 7mm doesn't thaat mean its to small for the ps4???? or is  9.5 mm the max sort of thing???**
A: 7mm is disk height, so it will fit normal 2.5 Inch bays, note that this disk versions:
* 500GB, 1T, 2T Height is 7.2mm.
* 3T, 4T & 5T Height is 15.5mm.
See: https://www.seagate.com/gb/en/internal-hard-drives/hdd/barracuda/#specs-2-5

**Q: Is it suitable for the PS4**
A: The PS4 will take the 500GB, 1TB or the 2TB drive as they are all 7mm drives. The 3TB, 4TB and 5TB are too thick to go internally as they are 15mm.

**Q: Will the 4gb version work as a PS4 replacement?**
A: Looks like the 4TB version (think you mean that) is 15mm thick and the size limit on the PS4 is 9.5mm so the answer would be no.

**Q: Does this have a warranty**
A: According to Seagate "The product you identified was sold as a system component. Please contact your place of purchase for service. Seagate sells many drives to direct OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) customers. These products are usually configured for the OEMs only, as components for their systems. You must contact your place of purchase for any warranty support on these drives"
