Unless it's on the shop shelves, who cares about a 2015 article.

It's better to have support before the drives actually exist than having to wait months after the launch of the 4 TB ones for a patch to support them.

Plot twist: we aren't getting a PS4K, we're getting a PS4Tb

Play games on 4K, 4TB HDD and US$ 400. B3LI3V3.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Damn thats expensive!

That's an enterprise level SSD. It's mostly only practical for RDBMS.

An upside of this is that there won't be need of sticking that atrocious NYKO Data Bank onto the PS4.

Even if it's designed for relational databases in mind, would a PS4 really benefit from it, apart from the high-speed capabilities of a SSD?

$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?

Last I checked (a few weeks ago), I was playing mp3s using a USB using the media player app.

Looks like they have just added a separate app just for USB music.

Yes, and No.

The PS4 doesn't use Sata III, and so never hits the full potential of using a SSD. To be honest, I don't even know if the ps4 would even hit full potential of a 10k RPM mechanical drive. In my opinion, a 7200RPM SSHD is the best option for the current PS4.

The Gen 2 (3 if you consider the 1200 gen 2) PS4 better have SATA III man...
