PlayStation 4's Hard Drive Replaceable by More Efficient Third Party Memory
The PS4, like the PS3, will not support external hard rives, but new reports indicate that the hard drive will easily be upgradeable.
Using a Samsung Solid State Drive, a gamer can remove the Sony hard drive and place the the new one into the console without a lot of hassle. The models available that will work for the Sony consoles are 840 ProSeries and 840 EVO Series. The PS4 has a 160GB on its own, so the Pro Series is the way to go because it holds up to 1 terabyte as well as smaller quantities, 250GB and 500GB.
