Top 5 external hard drives for ps4

The world of game consoles is constantly evolving. Improved technical stuffing, processors are becoming more powerful, RAM is faster, and each next generation acquires more capacious hard drives.
The fifth generation Playstation had only 128 KB of internal memory, the sixth 8 MB, the seventh from 20 GB to 500, and the eighth acquired a removable HDD from 500 GB. This is due not only to the desire of Sony to keep up with the times, but also to make the gameplay comfortable for the players due to the increasing video game volume. But the internal memory is often not enough, so players begin to think about buying additional removable media.

Currently, the struggle is between two types of HDD and SSD. The first basically have a few "pancakes", and the information is read using a special head. In SSD, the principle of operation is completely different, as is the filling. They are based on chips that have the role of carriers. This principle allows fast data exchange, but the cycle of use is less. How to donate - it remains to be decided by the buyer. We selected for you the top 5 best external hard drives for PS 4 today.

TOP - 5 best external hard drives for ps4

5 Toshiba CANVIO BASICS 1TB

The lowest price allowed this Filipino shy man to get into our top best external hard drives for PS4. Among competitors, it does not have a large amount of available memory (1 TB) or write speed (500 GB), but it was and remains one of the most popular solid-state drives on the computer hardware market. Low weight (230 grams) and high-quality component base make BASICS 1TB an extremely reliable information storage. The lack of noise also pleases, which in other matters is due to the not very high spindle rotation speed - only 5400 revolutions per minute. In addition, the disk is able to fully work even when dropped from a meter height, and the absence of the need for additional power makes it extremely mobile.

Buyers note in their reviews small dimensions, low heat at high loads and the presence of separate light indicators when connected to USB 3.0 / 2.0, which makes this disc one of the most convenient to use.

4 Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB

This model is one of the most compact on the market, which allowed it to take an honorable 4th place in our TOP of the best external drives for PS4. In size, it is similar to the LG G3 smartphone. It is noteworthy that the STEA4000400 4 TB was recognized as the best at the international consumer electronics exhibition in 2014.

The delivery package includes the hard drive itself, a short USB 3.0 power cable and instructions for use, although it is not needed, since the device works on the principle of "Connected and ready." You can also get an external case for it. The body is made of plastic and optics under the metal, it feels and looks very high quality. A total of 4 colors are available: gray, red, blue and black. Despite the absence of shock-absorbing elements, the disk does not vibrate during the work process.

Most of the reviews are extremely positive, which, coupled with an amazing combination of size and volume, makes the device interesting for the buyer.

3 Seagate STEA4000400 4 TB

Seagate once again surprised customers by presenting a 4 terabyte STEA4000400 drive for a penny to their court.It would seem that users here must wait for a trick, but no, the quality of the product does not cause any complaints. Somewhat embarrassed by the lack of packaging in the air gap and seals, which can cause damage to the device in case of a fall. A mandatory attribute of use here is to safely remove the device, since hard drives are often covered due to their unceremonious pulling out of the USB port. Appearance causes genuine delight and a sense of bulk of the outer shell. The recording temperature leaves around 38 degrees with an average and small data processing array. When processing 1 TB or more, it begins to heat up to 50 degrees.

In general, customers are satisfied with this model. High speed USB 3.1 (6 GB / s), honest 4 GB capacity and smart data reading with minimal noise level are noted.

2 Western Digital WD Elements Desktop 6 TB

Among the best external drives for the PS4, WD slightly fell short of the top-1. Despite the impressive amount of data storage (6 GB), which is why we paid attention to it, WD still loses to many SSDs in speed. Among classmates, this is perhaps one of the most monstrous representatives of his class. Its appearance fully reflects the purely utilitarian purpose - working with large amounts of data. The design is very strict, with no frills that does not prevent the device to fit into the interior of any home.

Buyers note in their reviews the absence of noise, vibration and any heat, even with intensive use of the drive. True, carry it in your pocket will not work - it weighs about a kilogram, and it looks more like a miniature system unit than an external hard drive. WD has established itself as a bona fide manufacturer, producing reliable drives, and the Elements Desktop 6 TB model is no exception.

1 Samsung Portable SSD T5 500 GB

The miracle of technology from Samsung naturally fell into our rating, thanks to many technical innovations. One of these know-hows is 3D NAND vertical flash memory. It contains transistors with a vertical floating gate, which helped significantly increase the amount of stored data. In addition, the USB interface of the new generation began to provide a higher speed when transferring information. Despite the general lag in the maximum recording speed of the T3 series, this model is capable of stably holding 300-325 mb / s for a long period of time. This is especially useful when recording videos or downloading video games.
Users in the reviews note the high reliability and performance of the Samsung T5 compared to its competitors. Thus, you get a quality data warehouse and instant download of all types of data.
