PS4 Hard Drive Upgrade Suggestions???

[BO7H B4RRELS 2,453]

My birthday is coming up, my wife asked what I wanted... so I thought this would be a good time to upgrade my PS4 HD.  I'm trying to stay under $100.  Any suggestions?  

 

Thanks!

External hard drive that plugs into one of the USB ports...that way, if you eventually upgrade again to say a PS4 Pro you can take everything with you.

Just ordered this one.

Nice...just got to remember that, once formated, it will only work on the PS4 and it can’t share a USB port. I leave mine plugged in one port, headphones in the other and I charge the handset on a phone charger every night

I only plan to use it with the PS4, so that shouldn't be a problem. But... couldn't I just reformat it to FAT32 if I ever wanted to use it on PC down the road?

 

I don't have anything plugged into my PS4 right now, so all the ports are open for it.

Sorry Tommy, I should’ve been a bit clearer with that post...you can’t share it between a PS4 and a PC. As you said you can always  reformat later if you want to reuse it on a PC

Yeah, if you're done with using it for the PS4 then you can reformat and use for your PC. However, I've never moved my external HD because I installed all my games on it and try and keep them updated. You'd have to transfer the games or reinstall them back on to the internal HD which could only take a few games anyway.

I intend to hook it up to my PS4 and never touch it again.  I was just saying, technically speaking, it could be reformatted and used on PC.
