My Playstation 4's storage is full already

[Willstown]

Hey guys, waiting for my white ps4 to come this 9-9-14. Sadly its still a 500gb HDD. Thinking about getting a bigger HDD and throwing it in immediately than wait for later to transfer saves and everything. Remember transfer data with PS3 took a whole day! Don't want to go thru that again. Rather than making a new topic suppose I ask it here!

 

Anyone already changed their drive to maybe a 1TB, 1.5TB, or even 2TB and which one using?

 

I went for a Seagate 1TB hybrid drive as I knew 500GB seemed a bit small.  Double the storage with better response for a reasonable price point.

 

Swapped it out the day I got my PS4 so can't compare load times etc.

 

For the OP, you've not got much choice other than to delete and re-download later.  Installs from disk take such a short time with this console though so there's that.

I went with this one. Heard a lot of good things and seen a few people put them in their ps4s from amazon. I put it in right after I bought my 4 so I couldn't tell you if it improved load times or anything but it is quiet and works perfectly. Honestly Sony made it extremely easy to change and upgrade the drives. literally a screw copy a file plug new one in and update took 15mins. Copy and paste into amazon if interested.

::UPDATE:: Just checked that drive on amazon and they want double what I paid for it not even 8 months ago. There are probably better options now anyway. I would highly recommend a bigger drive though.

Bought a 1TB together with my ps4.

Thats what everyone should do or a 1.5TB.

500gb is nothing you will fill that with just ps+ games

 

I dont mind full installs cause it saves your disk reader.

the most common problem i noticed among friends their ps3's was pretty much always a broken disk reader

 

What i want is being able to play video from usb,hate having to switch to my ps3 all the time.

Delete any game or demo app you don't use any longer and upload any savefile to flashdrive or ps plus and upgrade your hard drive
