$140, 4TB, 2.5" HDD. However, it is 15mm high, so it won't fit inside a PS4 without some hardware modifications.

What I don't understand is that there were people who already had 4TB to 6TB drives hooked up to their PS4s (using external 3.5" drives) without any issues, so I don't know what this "new" support actually gives you.

What? How? That they could save games on?

Yes.  Here is a link for someone who's modded their PS4, and downloaded games onto the larger drive without issues.

You can also use the Nyko Data Bank, although they say that using drivers larger than 2TB can cause issues with Rest Mode (so maybe this is what this firmware update fixed):
