Fuck! And I was planning to pick up a Seagate to upgrade my PS4, feels like I dodged a bullet.

clearly you're joking
but that standard storage space i a complete joke anyway.
with every game NEEDED to be installed.
so yeah that one is nice.
still 1 tb is also useless
i need about 5 to no care .
*at the time of the hdd flood so manufacturers were trying to ramp up output.
*also buying cheapest hdd they can get their hands on
*no mythology shown

what's the largest currently available? 3tb? and can anyone link me to it?
What's all this talk about storage space? How many games do you guys play simultaneously anyway? Just delete them when you're done. You can always reinstall them later.
The PS4 uses a Sata II controller for it's HDD so it really won't take advantage of SATA 6Gb/s it's basically limited in that regard. So SSD's will be limited as well due to the limited speed that Sata II has.
Of course going from the stock 500GB to a 1TB is a modest upgrade and since every PS4 game installs entirely to the HDD, capacity might more important speed.
I recommend the Samsung Spinpoint M9T. It is a 9.5mm 2TB HDD that works in the PS4. It is the current largest capacity 9.5mm drive available. The PS4 drive cage itself doesn't support drives larger than 9.5mm so this is your best bet in terms of reasonable pricing and storage capacity.
You can either buy the bare drive itself which costs more

Or you can buy this and remove the HDD from it's enclosure - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FRHTSK4/?tag=neogaf0e-20 and get the exact same thing for less
Also if you are careful enough, You can preserve the enclosure for the Slim Backup Plus and reuse the default 500GB PS4 drive as removable storage.
The Spinpoint M9T is $80 so it's $20 more then that Hitachi drive, but again it's also twice the capacity.
It's time for Sony to allow external HDs like even Nintendo allows.
I have that drive. Thankfully I use headphones when I game, because that thing is loud. Not typical for a HD I've ever used, but every 15 seconds or so it makes an audible beeping sound. It's weird. Seems fast enough though.
Sup everyone!! I was wondering... if I wanted to upgrade my hard drive to a 1TB or 2TB (on my PS4), but still want to somehow "transfer" my P.T. on the new hard drive, what would be the safest and most used technique to do it?
also worth noting
I'm in the same boat and will be upgrading my HDD in a few days.
During the PT removal from PSN iirc, many posters on Gaf said a regular PS4 HDD backup to an external before you put in your new drive would preserve your PT file.
ok thanks. I don't plan on upgrading yet but I'll remember this for when I actually do. I feel like Ben 2TB would get filled up too quickly, so I'll wait for a 3TB one. Any word on when such a hd will be released?The current largest is 2TB. I even said that 3TB drives don't yet exist in the 2.5in HDD market space.
This one way to get the current largest 2TB capacity drive for the PS4 that fits within it's 9.5mm standard for its drive cage.

You have several options. Buying a drive that's within an enclosure and reusing the stock 500GB on the PS4 as removable storage.
The Samsung Spinpoint M9T / Momentus SpinPoint ST2000LM003
This drive is 2TB, is 9.5mm in height (max height for the PS4 drive cage currently), and various options of buying this particular drive all fall within relatively the same price.
However oddly you are more likely to save money buying a drive that comes inside an enclosure sold as a usb portable, rather than the bare drive itself.

Is there a way to keep my patches when I uninstall a game?
Sorry to necro this thread but I'm having trouble with a new 2TB HDD put in my PS4.
I'm at the stage where I need to reinstall the ps4 system software via USB in safe mode but I keep getting an error that firmware 2.57 isnt being recognised.
I've looked around online and some users say to download a larger than usual 800MB file for this situation but I can't find it anywhere on Sony support sites. Anybody able to help?

My Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB annoyingly squeaks loudly and frequently. I'm considering buying a different drive just to get rid of the issue.
Well if it helps, I have been running the same drive for about 4 months now and it is quiet.Not what I like to read just after buying one lol. Hopefully for me, and sadly for you, it's just a bad drive you have.
i'd advise against it seeing as how hybrid drives seem to take longer to load than both standard HDD's and SSD's.Would anyone advice me to buy this Hard Drive for my PS4? Its an SSD+HDD

Backing up and restoring takes ages! 5 hours to backup, and now I'm restoring with 5 hours left.
Thankfully nowhere near as bad on PS3. Took me over 24 hours to backup on it once. Shocking.

Investing in a 1TB drive for anybody but a light gamer seems like a terrible idea. Doesn't seem worth the time, cost, and effort for less than 2TB.
I own the same one and it makes all those same sounds. Or should I say it made all the same sounds. I recently upgraded to a newer model PS4 and stuck the same 2 TB drive in it and the sounds it used to make are now gone.Not what I like to read just after buying one lol.
