ruffedgz Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) To Answer the Question - yes you can get a external HDD that doesn't need a power supply to work it. Have a WD Elements 2TB drive that I just plugged into my PS4 without any issues and noticed it: https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Portable-External-Drive-WDBU6Y0020BBK-WESN/dp/B00D0L5BH8 so I would recommend just looking for a external HDD thats: Over 1TB of storage since a lot of games are just large in size USB 3.0 type for the external HDD (both pro and standard are using USB 3.1 Gen1) - https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/explore/ps4/tech-specs/ After that, you should be good because the PS4 will need to format it to make it work and you should be good to go Here is a basic search from Amazon on some products that should work: https://www.amazon.com/s/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_n_feature_keywords_3?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A!493964%2Cn%3A541966%2Cn%3A1292110011%2Cn%3A595048%2Cp_n_feature_three_browse-bin%3A668383011%2Cp_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A5446812011|5446813011|7817230011%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A3143948011\c7233208011&bbn=595048&ie=UTF8&qid=1519417075&rnid=3093276011 A guide from PS4 on how to get your external HDD going - https://www.playstation.com/en-au/get-help/help-library/system---hardware/storage---data/ps4--external-hdd-support/ Edited February 23, 2018 by ruffedgz needed to answer the question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
