## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with the free NSA spyware**
A: To all those who think this is crazy, it's pretty well known in fact this is mundane and mainstream at this point. That, however, begs the question: If THIS is mainstream, imagine what they're still successfully hiding? 🤔

cnet[dot]com/news/privacy/nsa-reportedly-installing-spyware-on-us-made-hardware/

**Q: What is the spindle spped for this drive?**
A: Whenever a drive manufacturer or seller doesn't mention the speed of a drive in an ad, you can assume that it is 5400 RPM.  If it were 7200 RPM, it would highlighted on the first line.  If it was a 10K drive, it would be the very first word on the first line.  This is a 5400RPM drive.

**Q: So will this work for a ps4 by itself or will i have to buy that ugly nyko bank thing?**
A: The PS4/ pro comes with a 2.5 inch drive and is not compatible with a 3.5 inch drive. You WILL need the data bank for this to work. Not sure why people have answered your question saying it will work?

Just to confirm, this WILL NOT fit your PS4 without the data bank.

**Q: What is the difference between this version and the one that says (Old Version)?**
A: I have both versions in service here and see no difference in performance. Before putting into service I suggest running: https://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm on the drive. Enjoy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ too big for ps4
*by B***V on 12 February 2018*

Too big for my ps4 unfortunately so had to return it. Was a seamless procedure to return.

### ⭐ Faulty item, had to return it unfortunately
*by M***N on 27 July 2021*

Firstly, please note this is a 15mm thick 2.5" hard drive, made in China. I also noticed the cover sticker is slightly different from other Seagate HDs I bought, so please be aware of this. As it doesn't fit my usual portable HD case, so I have to connect it with a desktop SATA extension docking. When powered up, straight away there is a ticking noise from the HD sounds like it has bad tracks on the disks already, have tried to format it but showed an error message and therefore I have to return it. :( Not good experience.
