You sold your pro? I'm sorry for your loss. But, I'd like all my stuff to be local. I'd much rather just upgrade the PS4 to 2, or 3TB and be done with it. That's just me, though. Would love if we could get music locally too.

I got a Seagate 4TB powered external for my Xbox One S. I've had no issues with it and it has been extremely reliable. And it only cost me $99 on a Amazon sale.

I was considering upgrading my internal HDD in the pro to a SSD. But couldn't justify spending $200 for a 500GB SSD which was less than half of the storage capacity in the pro.

 

But now everything is different. Heres what I'm gonna do.

I'll spend $77 for the 250GB SSD from WD 

And then $110 for this 4TB HDD from WD

This way I can have an nternal SSD drive in the pro and put like 2-3 games on it at anytime, then have all my other games on the HDD. If there is  a game i  am playing a lot or going to play a lot, that goes ont the SSD.



Why is the Segeate so overpriced? You can get an Intenso for under 200€ with 5TB

I bought a Mushkin Reactor 1TB SDD for around $200 when I bought my Pro. Installed it before I even turned the thing on for the first time at launch. It is a good value for the speeds it produces even for an SSD with a few years on it. Now that external HDD is supported I may consider grabbing one for extra storage to offload all these games.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Dont buy the thumb drives, it has to be a minimum of 250GB
