Yukizm69 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading my PS4 Hard Drive to a 1TB/2TB because the damned thing is almost already full. I saw some video's and guides here and there and from what I gathered it needs to be 2.5" x 9.5mm. Basically my question is what other specs should I check before I buy one (GBps, RPM ect..) and what brand or does any brand do? If anyone has done this feel free recommending what Hard Drive model you bought. Regards, YukiZM69 Edited June 27, 2015 by Yukizm69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intresseklubben Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm wondering the same thing as I am willfully ignorant about what is good/bad. Thinking of getting a 2TB one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy_rules Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I fitted a Samsung M9T 2TB drive, at the beginning of this year and have had no problems yet. Amazon will usually list whether they are PS4 compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon will usually list whether they are PS4 compatible. I'll look into that one, it also seems fairly priced as well for a 2TB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A12 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 RPM doesn't matter, GBps also doesn't matter if it's listed as compatible.The only time an improvement in performance is noticed is if you move to SSD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savageamusement Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Upgraded mine to a 2TB as soon as I got my PS4 last month, just went on amazon and found a samsung one which said it was compatible. Works perfect for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukizm69 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) RPM doesn't matter, GBps also doesn't matter if it's listed as compatible. The only time an improvement in performance is noticed is if you move to SSD. I see, I just thought that since the current PS4 Hard Drive only reaches 3GBps (could be wrong here) I shouldn't exceed that limit. What do you guys think on this one? http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-HN-M201RAD-Momentus-SpinPoint-ST2000LM003/dp/B00I8O6OQ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1435243533&sr=8-1&keywords=2TB+Samsung+seagate+momentus+spinpoint+2.5 Edited June 27, 2015 by Yukizm69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenTonBacon Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 As others have said you can't go wrong with the Samsung m9 series. Good price and in my experience (2tb now and had a 1tb in my dead PS3) solid quality Just remember to download the correct firmware onto a USB and set up the folders correctly as described on the play station website 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnRoDr Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I used the 2TB SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS SLIM PORTABLE DRIVE and it works perfectly. Also this video was helpful, not that upgrading your PS4 is all that difficult, but I wanted to be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
