(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So what happens when I want to backup my Ps4. Take out the 500GB Internal HD and replace it with a 1TB Hd? Will Sony be allowing back ups to take place so you get just restore everything on the new Hd or will they be selling transfer cables to go along in doing this or? Because I really dont feel like re downloading everything back on the machine after lets say a year of play. What do you guys think?

M8 this is why you get a PC here is a fine example

>jimmy runs out of room on his HDD
>goes and buys another and a sata cable
> has way more memory and 6 hardrive bays left
>jimmy doesn't have to delete his games anymore


OK in all seriousness these HDDs are small, and most likely they will get butthurt and want people to buy another ps4 so the data cable and HDD selling won't happen as people will complain when they buy it and it don't work, consoles have to be fool proof

Does it have to be a SATA, or can it be a Toshiba, or something else?

As long as they're 2.5 inches?
