Even if you use this it won't help you much at all.

The enclosure connects the 3.5" drive as an external USB drive so you can't use it to install games or downloaded movies protected movies on it. But if you want to use your PS4 as a media center and load it with movies and music you can use it for that.


Wrong.  This Nyko device does exactly what you can already do yourself.  All it does is run a pass through from where the PS4 hard drive connects now, to a hard drive of your choice on the outside of the device.  Installnig games and whatever will work fine.  I do it now on my PS4 (3TB - from a 3.5 drive using the method described above).

All the Nyko device does it make it look a bit neater, thats all.  

All the Nyko drive is doing, is what you can do yourself, look here:

I stand corrected, the first article I read bout this stated it conenct to the PS4 via USB and is just an externally connected USB drive.


I think there was a bit of confusion to start with about how the device was powered.  Thats where I had read the USB from too, but the Nyko device gets its power fromt he PS4 via a pass through where the power cable goes.

Still, I'd be amazed if people spent the $30-$40 to do this, when you can do it for literally $2-$3 dollars yourself lol  Plus, doing it yourself you have no big block thing sticking on the top making your PS4 look untidy.
