Review: Saved me nearly £200! - Bought to use in a Freesat 4K box. The original drive in the device failed and their support told me I needed a new box at around £200. Instead I bought this, cracked the box open, replaced the hard drive with this one, formatted it through the devices menu, and boom I had a working box again in under half an hour! It's been several months now and it's still going strong with no issues, it easily performs as well as the original drive, perfect! ## Features - HGST 500GB 2.5 Hard Drive - Fast SATA3 6Gbps interface 5400 RPM 16MB Cache - 7mm design suitable for Laptops PS3 PS4 CCTV DVR Macbook and iMacs - Please check compatibility before purchase.

You will need a SATA M.2 drive. **Q: What size mounting screws do i need with this hdd please? i have an asus tuf fx505, but my hard drive mount doesnt have any screws.** A: Sorry I don't know. I bought mine as a direct replacement so I used the old screws. I would say 2mm diameter, 4mm long **Q: Would this work in a PS4 slim?** A: Hello Paul. I do not know much about the PS4, but found this info on-line: "The PS4 uses a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive, the kind generally used in laptops or super-slim external drives rather than desktop computers. It also needs to be under 9.5mm tall thanks to the size of the caddy that lives inside the PS4, which protects the drive and keeps it in place." I purchased the Hitachi HDD as it was a perfect replacement for the virtually identical one that failed in my MacMini, which needed to have the slimmer form factor (7mm). Hope this helps. Kind regards. D.
