Back in January Nyko announced their PlayStation
4 hard drive extension data bank. When I first heard about it, I was like yaaay
we have an easier way to upgrade the HDD on the PlayStation 4! One that makes
it possible to connect a 3.5 inch drive to the PS4. This alone should be amazing, people should be
jumping up in the air screaming like they just don’t care, right? No while the
data bank can be seen as good for some, it’s a pretty ugly extension that goes
on the top of the PS4.
In my personal opinion the only good thing
about it is that it allows consumers to put larger HDDs in (or “on”) their
PS4s. a large capacity 2.5” HDD is hard to find and really freaking expensive.
I’d personally rather get the extension and buy a 3TB HDD for $130 than a 2TB
2.5” HDD for $500 or more (darn Canadian economy making everything expensive). I
do have a few problems with the device, the fact that the PS4 can only connect
to one of the hard drives at a time meaning you can’t use the 500GB internal
memory with the let’s say 3TB external storage.
It’s an interesting concept, I only wish
that it was able to use both the internal and external storage & that it
looked nicer when connected to the system.
