Nyko - Data Bank Hard Drive Upgrade Dock for Sony PlayStation 4 - Black

I had read about this product months ago in a press release and kind-of forgot about it until one day I'm browsing a Best Buy and lo and behold there it is in the PS4 section. Needless to say I purchased it along with a 4 Terabyte hard drive and I couldn't be happier. Its easy to install and works flawlessly. The only downside is the long long process of backing up your games data from the PS4's original drive to a backup drive in order to be copied back to this device once its installed. I now have all my PS4 games available to play. There is a notation on the products box and instruction sheet that some features of the PS4 will not be available. As of the current 3.00 firmware every feature and function is fully working. Do yourself a favor and pickup this product, its inexpensive and tremendously increases the usability of your PlayStation 4.

After reading several reviews online as well as elsewhere, I decided to upgrade my HD (to a 3TB HD) on my PS4 using this. A few commented that there were no problems going beyond the 2TB limit recommended on the product. While the expanded storage was a bonus, the loss of using rest mode was discouraging as I did not want to leave my unit on all the time. The few times it did go to rest mode, it would shut down. I ended up getting rid of this and just buying a 2TB HD made for laptops. Fits perfectly inside the PS4 and works perfectly. So if you are wanting to keep all the features of your PS4 but still get more storage, then just buy a 2 TB HD. If rest mode is NOT important to you and you jsut want make storage, then this may be the product for you. Good luck.

This is a good product if you have a few extra 3.5" drives laying around. If you're buying both the drive and the Nyko data bank, it makes more sense to just buy a new 2.5" drive. It'll look better and be cheaper. The hard drive bank was easy to install, but the software installation was a pain.

I bought this along with the Nathan Drake Collection PS4 bundle (which is just a standard PS4 and a digital download; I offer that info purely as a time reference), and the internal PS4 design has apparently changed since this peripheral was designed. I had to modify the Nyko piece by cutting off a piece of it in order to attach it to the PS4. The screw that holds the internal HD in the PS4 has been moved, so you won’t be able to properly attach this Nyko piece to the PS4 using the included instructions. That being said, after I cut the piece off, I was able to complete the installation, and it’s been working flawlessly with a 7,200 RPM Western Digital 2TB drive for about a month now. Just be aware that you may need to steel your nerves to irreversibly alter the Nyko piece in order to install it in certain PS4 models.

I have it set up on my PS4 and it works great, just to note you must have the new PS4 CHU 1200 and up version if you want the rest mode to work properly. The new version will be on the uncharted bundle and Call Of Duty black opts 3 bundle 500gb if you didn't know.

The product says up to 2tb or so... i am using a 5tb but i hear jas been tested with a 6tb as well. Hope this helps..

U will never have to delete ur game for space again Only can put up to 2 tb and that's it Anything higher than 2tb It will start having problems

The PS4 does not come with sufficient memory for proper gaming. We upgraded Tia two terabyte hard drive with this drive port. It was an easy install and now works great. Just remember to download new software from SONY.
