Re: Suggest a bigger Hard Drive for Playstation 4


[re: time2die] [link to this post]
 
I do not know if that Western Digital drive would work or not in a PS4, my guess would be no as it says it is a non caching drive and is called a Dual drive rather than a Hybrid. Need the input of someone more knowledgeable than me.

So it seems at the moment the maximum capacity you can get in a 2.5" Hybrid drive is 1 TB with 8 GB being flash.

the hybrid drive will probably work unless there is something on the software side such as artificial restrictions of the ps4 which stops it working.

as the system will just see it as a hard drive still.

Looks like the first one then Trance,the 1TB hybrid drive that they say in the link Compatible with the Playstation 4,thanks also Chrysallis for your point matey wink

I know its to keep costs down with both the Xbox One and The Playstation 4 but come on,500gig in this day and age is a joke,especially when now we both have to install every single game and there are no other options.

With the Playstation o/s this only leaves 400gig spare from day one and I'm already at a third capacity after just 1 week.

Suppose the cheaper and other option is to play the game,finish it and then delete it of the hard drive.thats all well and good if its a single player game but what about the games like Battlefields 4,Killzone Shadowfall ,Ghosts blush and most of the other games that have multiplayer.

There is actually just 400gig allocated for your space for downloads believe it or not winkor just over ?

I have Knack,Resogun,Killzone Shadowfall,and that Blacklight retribution and after than Ive got about 325 gig left.

I have a few others like the playstation 3 classic Flower and a game i can not remember as I'm typing this,but they are well under a Gig.

Yeah that looks like a safe bet and 1 TB should keep you happy for some time, I agree that 500 GB is not really enough now especially with PS+ having free games every month. At least there is the option of upgrading the HDD with normal laptop drives which are cheap.

I thought the beauty of owning a console was not having to upgrade it all the time like a PC laugh
