PS4 System Storage Management - 500GB harddrive

SATA 2.5" with max height of 9.5mm[1], minimal storage size 160GB (198 HDD models, 5 SSHD models and 362 SSD models comply to that). Ofcourse if you externalise the harddrive, (e.g. with a Nyko Data Bank) there is a whole world of 3.5" drives that are larger in storage size and also cheaper to be gotten.

SSD can be used, but it seems that on the PS4 there is even less incentive (compared to PS3) to replace the drive for a SSD, best price/performance are still 7200rpm drives or true hybrid SSHD drives

it is unsure if TRIM is enabled by default for UFS on the PS4, but on BSD in general it can be enabled with tune2fs -t enable : http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=28004 see also : http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/ssd.html

Notes

  1. Sony lists compatibility as 9.5mm height, physically a 12.5mm can also fit, though a bit snuggly. Tried it with an ancient ST9190AG 0.504" 12.80mm (measured 12.3mm) drive, including the sled as usual
