I know that Sony has said that the PS4 won't have external HDD support, but I'm confused as to why. A USB 3.0 external HDD should easily match the speed of the internal. Also, it's hard to find 2.5" HDDs over 1TB for a reasonable price, while 3-4TB external USB 3.0 HDDs can be found for relatively cheap. I'm really not sure why this isn't supported, especially considering that game installs are mandatory not, and that games are bigger than ever. I'm almost full on the 5000GB already, and would love to hook up my 3TB external to my PS4.

Does anyone know exactly why Sony isn't supporting externals? It can't possibly be a homebrew issue since both the Xbox One and the Wii U support exterals and have had no problems. I tried looking for the exact reason, but couldn't find one. Anyone know?


do you get everything that comes out. I've never had an issue with space,ever. I get rid of my games and delete the save file,once I'm done with the game. I might have between 7-10 games at once,but that's usually my max. 

I have a couple of full titles like CoD Ghosts, Battlefield 4, Watch Dogs, and Killzone which take up almost 200GB by themselves, and then a bunch of PS+ titles. I do delete games, but a lot of them I replay a lot or play with my friends, and some of them I haven't beaten.

The big dealbreaker is the saving videos though. Lots of gameplay videos are over 100MB in size, and I take plenty to share with my friends. I do delete some of them later, but others I like to keep.
