Forums - Sony - PS4 first day upgrade

 

Are you going to upgrade your PS4 hard drive day one?

yes, bigger HDD 29 22.31%
 
yes, bigger and faster SSHD 18 13.85%
 
yes, faster SSD 19 14.62%
 
Why? 500 GB is what i need. 64 49.23%
 
Total:130

I'm planning to upgrade my PS4 hdd on day one.

There are 3 options:

1. Bigger HDD (1T/2T)

2. SSHD - hybrid ST1000LM014 (1TB + 8 GB SSD)

3. SSD - (256GB / 512GB)

So my question is - are you going to upgrade your PS4 hard drive day one?

Don't bother with an SSD, they don't actually help game loading times that much, certainly not for the price you are paying

I'm thinking about putting in a 2TB HDD, but I think 500GB is actually enough for a while. There will probably be a redesign in a few years, so if I get that I might put in a larger hard drive then, but I think for now I will wait



I'm upgrading Day 1 to a 1TB disk most likely.. just because the amount of games i buy, 500gb this gen has showed me its not enough :D

At the moment there aren't any 2TB HDDs available that fit in the PS4. The largest you can get is a 1.5TB drive.

I'm not buying a PS4 at launch, but if I did I would probably wait 'til the 500GB filled up (which could happen quite fast) and then go for a 1TB-SSHD.



I'll upgrade that to 1TB SSHD.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

I think I'll be fine with 500GB for the generation. KZ:SF is 50GB and is probably one of the bigger games out there so I can probably have 10-20 games on the PS4 HDD at any given time, which, for me, is good enough.



I should probably upgrade. My 750gig on my PS3 is almost full.



I own 2 PS3. First 60GB backwards compatible (upgraded to 500GB) standing on my desk. The other one is slim with 120 SSD in the living room.

This solution is superb. SSD makes a big diffrance - not in game loading time, but interface and PS store work way better then on my old PS3.

If you think you would fill it up, best to upgrade it... certainly on PS3 upgrading the disk when you have installed all your games/saves is just a hassle :D

Wrong. This time all your game data will always be on disk, not on disc. This time Sony has a modern SATA-controller in their system. It will definitely improve loading-times.
