Best Storite External Drives

Easily upgrade the PS4's HDD space up to 8TB*. The Data Bank for PlayStation 4 allows the use of a 3.5'' hard drive to be used as internal memory instead of the stock 2.5'' hard drive that comes pre-installed in the system. 3.5" drives are less expensive at higher capacities than the 2.5" drive inherently supported by the PS4. Typically 3.5" hard drives have a higher read/write speed than 2.5" hard drives, which may slightly improve load times in many games. The Data Bank also features a front facing LED indicator which illustrates when the PS4 is accessing or saving content on the HDD. The Data Bank is powered by a built-in power pass-through cord so it does not require its own power outlet. Installing the Data Bank is easy and takes only a few minutes. After backing up your saved data, simply remove the top cover of the PS4 and take out the internal 2.5" hard drive by removing one screw via the included screw driver. Slide the included Universal Cartridge into place, fasten it down with the screw and then snap the Data Bank onto the top of the PS4. Once installed, place a SATA 3 3.5" hard drive into the Data Bank and attach the cover. The last step is to plug the power pass-through cord into the PS4 and then plug the PS4 power cord into the pass-through cord. Detailed instructions on how to back up and transfer PS4 save files, Data Bank installation and how to initialize the PlayStation 4 firmware on a new drive are included in the box. With the Data Bank installed, the storage capacity of the PS4 can be expanded up to 8TB*, drastically increasing the amount of games and save files that can be stored on the system. Not compatible with PS4 Slim or PS4 Pro
