Re: Suggest a bigger Hard Drive for Playstation 4


[re: time2die] [link to this post]
 
I thought I had read somewhere that SSD drives would not be compatible at launch, unless that has changed? I'd ping an email to Sony support or something before buying. Just to be certain like?

It's not a SSD drive mate but a Hybrid drive which Ebuyer says is ideal for the Playstation 4 upgrade like Trance link suggests wink

I also read that PS4 supports Sata 2 not Sata 3, so many of the latest (and more expensive) SSD's won't make any appreciable difference.

Found it! The lack of trim support is bad news for SSD's. I knew I'd read it somewhere recently.

Before you can appreciate what TRIM does, you'll first have to know this: Left unchecked, the performance of a SSD will deteriorate with use.

Where hybrid products falter is with new data. When writing new data or accessing infrequently used bits, hybrid products perform just like a standard hard drive

So what you saying....can I not upgrade it and why is Ebuyer making claims in the Trance link that it's Compatable with the Playstation 4.

UPDATE

Think at present it's the least of my problem is you read my recent post ....Seems my Playstation 4 is some what Knackered

In the end I just sent an email to Sony customer support and they confirmed once and for all that it is going to be SATA II. They also confirmed that the operating system on the PS4 will not include TRIM functionality.
