As games grow ever larger, the slightly-over-400GB of storage available on the PlayStation 4’s internal disk drive looks more and more cramped. One solution is to upgrade the drive, but that’s a little involved, and it means having to re-download everything you had on the stock disk. A better option is on the horizon : when system software version 4.50 hits, users will be able to connect USB 3.0 hard drives up to 8TB in capacity.
Sony’s blog post about the update only says that users will be able to store « content » to the external drives, but we know that it at least includes applications—certainly the largest and most important category of content for a game console.
