The Official PS4 HDDUpgrade Q&A Thread

[Dynamo of Eternia]

This isn't a question, but more of an idea.

It was brought up in another thread that many laptop hard drives that store 2TB or more are thicker than other laptop drives and therefore wouldn't fit inside a PS4 or PS3.

What some company should do is make some kind of hard drive adapter to allow the use of bigger hard drives (even full sized PC desktop drives) on these systems. Obviously they'd have to make each one specific to the model. The device could essentially house the hard drive and attach to/sit next to the hard drive port on the system, and have some kind of extended connector that goes between the hard drive and the point where a normal laptop hard drive would attach.

I don't know how realistic this would be (i.e. if an extended connector would slow down the data traveling.... I picture it as something solid... not just a cord). And obviously it would limit the options of standing the system vertically, and you would have this extra box or whatever sitting next to the system, but it would be a way to go to get more data storage.

Maybe they could even go so far as to let you connect two hard drives at the same time for more memory, and they would work together as one.
