If the 1TB is enough for you, opt for the Western Digital 1TB 5400RPM. Let alone the fact that the console’s controller may not handle the maximum possible speed. The coolest option is therefore to get an SSD disk, which is pretty expensive. By default, the PS4 is equipped with not too fast HDD. Well, to be fair, even a terabyte installed in my PS4 PRO is not enough sometimes. This is certainly not enough, given the appetites of modern games, such as Red Dead Redemption or Last of Us 2, which require a lot of hard disk space. The original hard drive in the base PS4 model features 500 gigabytes.

Therefore, you have to upgrade the device. Once you install two or three games like GTA, you run out of hard disk space. It will work well for kids to play some casual video games, but as for true gamers, it is no good at all. It will allow you to cut down the time it takes to load levels, which is particularly crucial for large open-world games.The original hard drive installed in the base PS4 does not actually have enough space and is not very fast. Note that the PS4 has a 2.5-inch connector, so HDD for Desktop PC won’t be suitable.Īnd if your budget permits, I recommend buying a hybrid drive that combines both SSD and HDD, for example, the 2TB Oyen Digital 2TB SSHD.
