I found this interesting but don't think I would buy one myself. Would anyone else buy this? NYKO DATA BANK FOR PLAYSTATION 4 Comparisons: Upgrade 1: 2TB 2.5 inch 5400RPM Samsung is around $170 AUD which is the limit of these hard drives at present. Upgrade 2: NYKO DATA BANK $75 AUD 2TB 3.5 inch 7200RPM Green Western Digital is around $100 AUD but you can buy up to 6TB drives. If you need heaps of space then yes a conversion might be the idea and a big 6TB hard drive but then you are affected by data transfer speeds from the Date Bank to the PS4. Possibly a software upgrade might resolve this if it is not a physical limitation. So the jury is still out on whether this is a good purchase/mod. Thoughts?
PS4 load times are bad enough as it is. I don't feel the need to keep every game I own installed at once but that said the standard 500GB is way too small considering the size of games these days. Certainly wouldn't want a WD Green in there either If I was to upgrade my PS4's hard drive I'd rather spend a stupid amount on a big SSD.
I've upgraded my PS4 to a 2TB drive. Wasn't that hard, just took a while for the initial backup process from memory. I can't find the reference at the moment, but I remember reading somewhere that those NYKO add-ons are dodgy. Apparently they foul up the heat-management of the PS4 and can lead to permanent damage. Probably not worth the risk...
