Nice. is the pricing very diff from US? and does it offer free shipping for a certain amount like US?

Cheaper depends on what items u compare with.... but jp no free shipping no matter prime member or not... not to say spending certain amount...

 

[Gametaku]

Nice buy but the hdd shld use firecuda 2tb instead. Got it cheap a while back. Your 7200rpm hgst right?

Spoiler

I see, then I would probably stick to US. How much did you get the casing for switch, the one that transports including the dock?

It's when see real users feedbacks... and u can find sshd issues quite common...

To me it's either ssd or hdd... hybrid will rely on algorithms to cache which is not always fastest to all known applications or operations...

Yes, 7200 is hgst

But at its base, the firecuda is still a 7200rpm drive. Actually i bought it for its capacity + 7200rpm drive and not for its "SSD" function . At the time of purchase, i cant find a 7200rpm 2tb 2.5 inch cept this. Was using the HGST 1tb 7200rpm too b4 this. I can see significant loading time improvement.

The caching part works well for the PS4 anyway. Eurogamer tested it and u can see the result below.

btw, no chiong persona 5?

Where u read that 2.5" firecuda is 7200rpm?

http://www.anandtech.com/show/10760/seagate-launches-firecuda-sshds-up-to-2-tb-smr-8-gb-of-nand

The caching part will slow down along the way when u got more data... u go Google why ppl rather use hdd or ssd rather than hybrid... what is 8gb cache man... can't load much... anyway...

Not a fan of persona 5... waiting for my new psvr games to come leh... lol

P.S.
by the way... starting from firmware 4.50 you can attached an USB portable/external hdd to your ps4 (pro) as an extended volume... so trying to get a higher internal hdd capacity doesn't really matter much now...

No need to dl them. Just go to store.playstation.com on a web browser, using PC etc., to purchase all the PS+ free games (even if you don't have the platforms like ps3 or vita). Just add to cart and complete the checkout process (paying $0), they will be added to your library. You don't have to actually download there and then. Once in your library, you can download any time, even months after they are offered for free, just as long as you are still a member. After downloading, you can also delete, then download again etc. No point having games occupying space on your hdd unnecessarily if you are not going to play them any time soon.

Yes i know but i like to have them on my HDD rather than on the cloud . I will add them to the library from my PC at the start of the month and download them to my PS4 later. Just like my Steam library, i will dl all games too.

Just an update for you guys...

I posted about 2 weeks ago that my switch was sent in to Maxsoft for warranty repair due to inaccurate battery percentage status and frequent unable to boot up issues during power up or restart...

Maxsoft has finally confirmed with me after a few follow ups that they cannot repair my issues and will exchange the tablet portion of my switch for me.

You will have to pressure them for an answer otherwise they will say that they are overloaded with repairs and also since nintendo switch is new, so they will need time to understand the issues.
Seems like their repair tech will not be so up to date on how to fix switch issues at the moment.
Even for joycon desync issues, best to push them for an exchange.

They also have no expertise to transfer your saved files.
There goes my zelda saved files...

Hope this is good enough info for anyone else with such issues.

Just remember to bring along your the cardboard holder that holds your joycons and the tablet portion for the exchange as it has the serial number.
