I been looking at that Nyko shyt too cause I got like 5 games installed on my stock 500GB PS4 and it's full already :francis:
I have a 2TB that I can rip the internals out and replace the PS4 stock HDD but I still feel like it won't be enough. I remember my first PS2 memory card was Nyko brand. That yellow one with 8MB!!! :noah::noah::noah: And that was all the memory we needed for all the games, Lawd! :ohlawd:

Brehs, it's just an enclosure. The 6TB in the name of the device is just marketing. A 6TB drive all run you over $250 currently..probably even more than that..

You can put whatever size drive in it. If you had an 8TB drive it's likely work as well

Larger drives may work, but the issue is will they cause the PS4 to crash and will it work with the rest mode function. The list the 6TB to let you know how much memory is stable. Nyko was selling ducktales, because although you can put higher drives in there, the shyt wasn't fully stable/functional past 2TB.

I feel you. I doubt itd crash tho. If that was the case the OS would likely be coded to just reject the drive

These AAA titles be like 50-100gb now. You have to install every single game you play. Plus with PS Plus games every month, I'm just trying to future proof my shyt. Don't want to have to ever upgrade more than once.
You really can't future proof your ps4. the only upgrade you can do is add more storage which you are doing and there is nothing wrong with that. I never knew the games were that big though. ps3 games are usually like 2-10 gbs.

I have a 6tb on my PC with over 900 games installed. I don't think you need that much room for a ps4. I still got 1tb free too
I think XB1 and PS4 games are larger in install size on average though.

I agree though, 6TB is overkill on consoles.

Tbh who playing all the games on there HD?

2tb is enough imo.

Just keep u a core 10 games that u play. It's no reason to have every COD, 2K, or single players games u beat on ur HD. Keep ur saves just get rid of the install

Where is everyone getting the 6tb from? Upped my storage this year and it's still not enough. Do the external drives work?
