Woodstock-based hardware retailer Other World Computing released four upgrade kits dedicated to the PS4, offering four different ways to upgrade the stock 500 GB HDD coming with Sony’s New Console.


The options offered include a You must login or register to view this content. or a You must login or register to view this content. if you want more space to download more content. Alternatively, if you prefer speed you can choose between aYou must login or register to view this content. (which could definitely prove a little a little tight) and a more reasonable You must login or register to view this content..


Why would you want to actually reduce the space available in your PS4′s disk? According to the retailer the SDD options offer 25% faster load, saving and booting times. Faster times are also promised for the 1TV HDD/SDD hybrid, but the actual gain isn’t specified. Your mileage may vary on whether faster loading speed is worth the trade off or not.


Together with the selected HD the bundle also include the following items:




  • OWC USB 3.0 Express 2.5″ SATA Drive Enclosure, Black
  • OWC USB 2.0 Flash Drive for PlayStation 4 download
  • #1 Phillips screwdriver
  • Up to 3-Year Replacement Warranty
  • High Quality Double Shielded USB 3.0 (mini-B type) connecting cable
  • Carrying sleeve
  • OWC USB 3.0 Express Enclosure Installation Guide
  • Instruction Guide for Drive Upgrade for PS4


Prices are as follows:




  • 1 TB HDD/SDD hybrid drive: $99.99
  • 1.5 TB HDSad Awesome$149.99
  • 240 GB SSSad Awesome $219
  • 480 GB SDD $399


Considering that I’ve seen the same drives sold by themselves for similar or higher prices by other retailers, this deal definitely seems a sweet one if you want to upgrade your new PS4, even if I’m not sure the 240 GB option can really be considered workable, SSD or not.

i brought a 1TB drive for my ps4 for £50, i don't think anyone is going to waste money on a 480gb SSD for $400 you only get to use 80% of that anyway due to the OS taking up a chunk.

Yes I have done it myself. You slide the shiny part away that then reveals the HDD. After that you unscrew the 1st screw (The one with the PSN buttons on it) Then you pull the HDD bay out and unscrew the 4 screws on the bay. So all in counting 5 screws.

Hybrid drive is the best bet over the SSD.
