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.

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 HD$149.99
  
• 240 GB SS $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.

So please Explain , as I can read and full well the workings of HDD's ?!

:yawn:

If you can remove the casing without damaging the HDD, it would work. You would still need to remove it that could be the roadblock. In most cases they are designed not to be removed. Also need to make sure it would fit into the PS4.
Given how it a standard laptop HDD in effect it should fit, but some HDDs are a little bigger and won't.

If you can do it go ahead.

taking plastic apart won't be that big of trouble ,

I only showed it as it is the LARGEST 2.5" drive you can buy that is still the correct size to go internally.

I myself have started building a Esata Raid For It ,
it Should be Pushing 8TB when finished ... my only drawback atm is not sure how much the PS4 will format !

Trust me , once it is all A solid go and working ,
I do plan on putting a guide up for all the NON-HARDWARE understanding people !

lol

i dont see the reason for ssd
