    Great Drive for PS4 (or in general)

    Great Drive for PS4 (or in general)
    I used a Drive Mounter device to USB 3.0 port on my PC and got these speeds. The page says 6gb/s which is usually supposed to be 600 mb/s, but I don't know if that's because of using USB and the device, but USB 3.0 ports are supposedly capable of up to 500 mb/s... I don't really care. It's going into a PS4 and has 7200 rpm, so it'll be fine.Drive manufacture date was 2015 and it was heat sealed into an ESD safe package and then put into a snug bubble mailer. The seller cares, but Amazon shipment center may not, so your mileage may vary.
