External Hard Drives (PS4)

[tronic44 3,628]

Hey all!

As there are 48936971354321 games coming out every week (some where around that number), I'm having to delete a game/games pretty much every other day due to the lack of space on my PS4. Does anyone run any external hard drive or know of any decent one's to use? I know the standard decent hard drives on the market but not sure if there are any that are particularly better suited for the PS4?

 

Cheers FG

I was thinking this as well from a back up point of view

Size matters as the HDDs for PS4 resemble laptop drives.

 

Copy and paste job  as follows:
 

The 1TB Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD is a hybrid 5400RPM SSD/HDD drive and 9mm thick. You can pick it up for around £65 (available from Amazon), making it a great affordable option.

Also, the WD Blue WD10SPCX, another 1TB 5400RPM hard drive, but this one is just 7mm thick. This WD drive is now around the £50 mark (available here from Amazon), making it the more affordable alternative for the Seagate.

You can use SSD drives as well, but for anything above a PS4-matching 500GB you’re looking at spending some serious dollah.

By the way, gimme as shout when you get around to doing this, I'd like to look over your shoulder.

Do Externals work with the PS4?

 

Also, Newegg has a 2tb Western Digital that meets the PS4 specs for $114.99 (No idea what that is in pounds)

 

Actually, does Sata 6 work with the ps4?

 

EDIT: it will work, but at sata 3 speeds

Unlike Microsoft, Sony didn't bother making this a standard feature. However, yes it can be done and is relatively straightforward, but will jeopardise your warranty.

Ok it seems that you can only store data on the external drives, not install games and run them off it, which means internal it'll have to be.

 

Might give it a look, not this weekend but the one after if you're about Phil?

I'll be around, I'll do some more research in the meantime

I share so many guides regarding this stuff on FG social media. If you need a hand digging some up I'll be glad to lend a hand.
