Buy a 2tb seagate 'backup plus slim' USB 3.0 external drive for around 70-80. Pop it open with a smal screwdriver to reveal a 9.5mm 2tb drive that will fit perfectly in your PS4.
Backup your saves to the cloud, install in your PS4, re download your games, good to go. Make sure to download the full install of the PS4 software from the Sony (around 900 megs) instead of just the update, you'll need that to set up the system on a blank drive.
Get a 4TB HDD.
What? 2.5" 4TB drives have been around for a while. Though they're 15mm not 9.5mm. But people have been able to wrangle them into ps4s. It recognises them just fineFitting a 3.5" hard drive in a 2.5" bay?
(i.e these don't exist yet in 2.5" format, let alone in the smaller 2.5" variation to fit in a PS4).

Yeah if you want to spend the extra get the Firecuda and if not get the Seagate Backup Plus. Either way just get a 2TB drive and it's pretty simple.
I've used the Seagate in mine for about a year and a half now with zero issues.
Are these the ones? https://www.amazon.com.mx/Seagate-F...2737568&sr=8-1&keywords=seagate+firecuda+2+tb

TBH the cheaper the better but only if it's reliable and durable
For the people who have PT, is the process different? I heard you need a second HDD to transfer to first, then transfer to your new one? Anyone do this before?
Just get a pro.

How's the performance of that hdd and link to the one you bought?Get a 5 TB Seagate Portable Backup Plus drive, gut it and throw that shit into the system. That's what I did.
Beyond stupid Sony doesn't allow external storage.
And they haven't been hacking. This stubborness makes me feel the PS4 has a fatal security flaw, and such thing WILL get found, even if they don't want to. They're almost highlighting hackers where their weakness is.Yeah. I really don't get it. XB1 and Wii U allow it.
I wonder if they're afraid of piracy so they've locked down external HDD I/O.

Sony should really start allowing external storage at this point, maybe next year, the gen just got past its half time.
It'd be great if Sony would offer this, as it's the only way that I can expand storage. I don't at all feel comfortable taking shit apart, and I don't really understand how to move the OS and other stuff over.
It's too damned complicated for me, and flies in the face of the simplicity that consoles used to be known for.
