We\u2019ve seen a lot of consoles, including the PS4, which originally launched with 500GB of storage. At the time, it could only hold about a dozen or so games. Modern Warfare has a minimum storage requirement of roughly 175GB. Only about four or five games will fit on your PS4. If your PS4\u2019s storage is already at capacity, it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t add more space. Increasing the PS4\u2019s external hard drive space is achievable if you wish to play current games of substantial size. This tutorial will show you how to increase your PS4\u2019s storage space<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-more-storage-on-ps4-nbsp\"><span id=\"how-to-get-more-storage-on-ps4\">How to Get More Storage on PS4\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider these options to expand your PS4\u2019s storage space when it becomes full. Here are some ways to easily expand your PS4\u2019s storage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-1-the-quickest-and-easiest-way-to-increase-ps4-storage\"><span id=\"solution-1-the-quickest-and-easiest-way-to-increase-ps4-storage\">Solution 1: The Quickest and Easiest Way to Increase PS4 Storage<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may easily add more PS4 storage with the help of these options. To answer the question, \u201cHow do I get more storage on the PS4?\u201d we advise increasing the capacity of the internal hard drive from 500GB to the desired total. To increase PS4 storage space, you\u2019ll need to adhere to three phases, including detailed instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Step 1: Remove the PS4\u2019s Hard Drive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 2: Replace the Old PS4 Hard Drive with a New One<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 3: Install the Copied Hard Drive on the PS4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-remove-the-ps4-s-hard-drive\"><span id=\"step-1-remove-the-ps4s-hard-drive\">Step 1: Remove the PS4\u2019s Hard Drive<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Step two involves taking the PS4\u2019s hard disk out of the console. A screwdriver and other tools are necessary for this since they will facilitate the process of removing the hard drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by using your thumbs to push the shiny side of your PS4\u2019s top cover. Lift the cover up and back once it has popped to the side, and then pull it out of the system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Second, get rid of the screw that secures the hard drive bracket to the enclosure to free the hard drive tray. The internal components of the drive are fragile and easily damaged; therefore, you must remove it with extreme care.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now that you\u2019ve gotten the drive out of its enclosure, you can take the hard drive tray apart by removing the screws on its left and right sides. Once you\u2019ve undone these side screws, taking out the hard disk from its tray is a breeze.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-replace-the-old-ps4-hard-drive-with-a-new-one\"><span id=\"step-2-replace-the-old-ps4-hard-drive-with-a-new-one\">Step 2: Replace the Old PS4 Hard Drive with a New One<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to connect both the new and old drives to your computer after you have removed the drive from your game console. After that is done, you may utilize a variety of cloning programs to transfer your data from the old drive to the new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partition master is highly recommended as it is a versatile piece of software that can be used for a wide range of purposes, including but not limited to disk cloning and space partitioning. All of your data can be moved from the old drive to the new drive with the help of the partition manager. Here are the simple steps you need to follow to expand your PS4\u2019s storage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To begin, go to the \u201cClone\u201d section of the left menu. Use \u201cClone Partition\u201d and \u201cNext\u201d to duplicate the current partition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click \u201cNext\u201d after you have chosen the source partition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the partition you wish to use as the destination, and then click \u201cNext.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid losing information, you should copy files from the target disk to the source partition or create a backup of the target partition before cloning. Confirm \u201cYes\u201d in the warning box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click the \u201cStart\u201d button, and then sit tight until the clone is finished.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-load-the-cloned-hard-drive-into-your-ps4\"><span id=\"step-3-load-the-cloned-hard-drive-into-your-ps4\">Step 3: Load the Cloned Hard Drive into Your PS4<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeat the procedures from Phase 1 in reverse order once you have finished cloning your old hard disk to a new one. After doing so, you can replace the<a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/how-to\/why-is-my-chromebook-screen-black\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> hard disk<\/a> on your PlayStation 4. And with the extra space it affords, you may stock up on the types and quantities of games that suit your fancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solution-2-use-a-ps4-external-hard-drive\"><span id=\"solution-2-use-a-ps4-external-hard-drive\">Solution 2: Use a PS4 External Hard Drive<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have much money, don\u2019t stress about upgrading your PS4\u2019s hard drive. In this article, we\u2019ll show you how to use a USB drive to increase the amount of space available on your PlayStation 4. By following the steps outlined below, you\u2019ll have your external hard drive up and running in no time, ready to store your games on your PS4. It\u2019s a great method to play a variety of games without worrying about space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Step 1: Prepare the PS4\u2019s hard drive for use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 2: Modify the directory where the program will be installed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 3: Copy games and applications to an external hard drive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to use an external hard drive with your PS4, you\u2019ll need to meet a few conditions first. If you\u2019re seeing a \u201cPS4 can\u2019t read USB\u201d message, you need to make sure you have the latest external drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need the most recent PS4 firmware to connect a USB external disk to your<a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/how-to\/how-to-delete-games-on-ps4-in-7-easy-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> game system.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decide on the top PS4 external hard drive. To play games without difficulty, your USB drive should have at least 250GB of space and no more than 8 TB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should only use a USB 3.0-compatible flash drive, and there is a limit of one external disk at a time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the instructions below to connect the external drive to your PS4 once you\u2019ve finished the necessary setup.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-prepare-the-ps4-s-hard-drive-for-use\"><span id=\"step-1-prepare-the-ps4s-hard-drive-for-use\">Step 1: Prepare the PS4\u2019s Hard Drive for Use.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Get the PS4 hard disk working first, then format the external storage device. Doing so ensures that your USB will be compatible with the PS4 system. You can begin the formatting process by following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, ensure a proper connection between the external drive and the PS4. Going forward, open the \u201cSettings\u201d app from the game console\u2019s home screen, and then navigate to \u201cUSB Storage Devices\u201d under the \u201cDevices\u201d menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To continue, choose the external hard drive that is now connected to your PS4 and then hit the \u201cFormat as Extended Storage\u201d option. To finish the PS4 USB formatting process, follow the on-screen prompts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-modify-the-location-where-the-program-will-be-installed\"><span id=\"step-2-modify-the-location-where-the-program-will-be-installed\">Step 2: Modify the Location Where the Program Will be Installed.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step, after formatting the external drive, is to alter the program installation directory to accommodate the new files. Read the detailed instructions below to learn how to finish this section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, from the PS4 main menu, select \u201cSettings,\u201d then \u201cStorage,\u201d to change where apps are stored.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The second step is to go into the \u201cApplication Install Location\u201d settings by selecting the \u201cOptions Menu\u201d button. To have PS4 use the external drive as its primary storage, select \u201cExtended Storage\u201d from the system menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-copy-games-and-applications-to-an-external-hard-drive\"><span id=\"step-3-copy-games-and-applications-to-an-external-hard-drive\">Step 3: Copy Games and Applications to an External Hard Drive<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step, after you\u2019ve changed where you keep your applications and formatted your external drive, is to transfer your games to the latter. Just follow these simple steps to confidently migrate your apps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the first step, you\u2019ll need to open the PS4\u2019s settings menu and select \u201cStorage\u201d from the drop-down menu. After that, go to \u201cApplications\u201d by selecting \u201cSystem Storage,\u201d which is where your program library is kept.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A second action is to go to the \u201cOptions Menu\u201d and pick the \u201cMove to Extended Storage\u201d option. Here, you can pick and select which programs and games will be copied to your external storage device. Tap the \u201cMove\u201d button and then confirm with \u201cOK\u201d to move the selected items.

In order to make room for more recent games, you can empty your PS4 of old ones by following this method. Consult the following manual for help with this task:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, open the PS4\u2019s Settings menu and select \u201csystem storage management.\u201d This will open a new window where you should click \u201cApplications.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Second, after that, you\u2019ll get a list of apps where you can select specific games and apps by checking the appropriate boxes. To remove the selected software, simply click the \u201cDelete\u201d button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hit the Delete key<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ps4-external-hard-drive\"><span id=\"ps4-external-hard-drive\">PS4 External Hard Drive<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking of getting an external PS4 hard drive, here are the pros and cons to help inform your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros\"><span id=\"pros\">Pros<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let\u2019s start with the fantastic benefits a PS4 external hard drive will give you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-you-get-a-portable-gaming-library\"><span id=\"1-you-get-a-portable-gaming-library\">#1. You Get a Portable Gaming Library<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>An external hard drive is the perfect portable gaming library. With it, you can transport all your digital games and install game data everywhere you go. This is a win-win scenario if you employ physical games, digital games, or both. If you use physical games, you may carry your saved data to a friend\u2019s house, and you won\u2019t have to experience the long wait as their PS4 installs the game data if you use an external hard drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-you-ll-have-a-ps4-with-tons-more-storage-space\"><span id=\"2-youll-have-a-ps4-with-tons-more-storage-space\">#2. You\u2019ll Have a PS4 With Tons More Storage Space<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The PS4 can accommodate up to 8TB of external storage, which is considerably more than the default 500GB hard disk. If you\u2019re having to delete games on your PS4 to clear up space, an external hard drive would fix this problem. You\u2019ll immediately notice and enjoy the change, as your PS4 can suddenly carry more than five games!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-a-ps4-external-hard-drive-is-very-easy-to-set-up\"><span id=\"3-a-ps4-external-hard-drive-is-very-easy-to-set-up\">#3. A PS4 External Hard Drive Is Very Easy to Set Up<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Three distinct storage devices, with two internal and one exterior<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike with an internal PS4 hard drive, it\u2019s incredibly quick and straightforward for you to set up an external hard drive for your PS4. There\u2019s minimal hassle and you\u2019ll be ready to use your new hard disk within a few minutes. What\u2019s nice is that you don\u2019t have to open up your PS4 or worry about getting the appropriate measurements for your hard drive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-the-benefits-of-an-external-hard-drive-compensate-for-its-physical-space-requirements\"><span id=\"4-the-benefits-of-an-external-hard-drive-compensate-for-its-physical-space-requirements\">#4. The Benefits of an External Hard Drive Compensate for Its Physical Space Requirements<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Although an external hard drive is a distinct peripheral device that occupies physical space separate from the PlayStation 4 (PS4) console, its impact is very inconsequential, particularly when one takes into account its advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantages of being able to keep numerous games on an external hard drive and transport them conveniently surpass the minor drawback of occupying additional physical space inside one\u2019s living environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-one-can-utilize-this-method-to-create-a-backup-of-the-internal-storage-of-their-playstation-4-ps4-console\"><span id=\"5-one-can-utilize-this-method-to-create-a-backup-of-the-internal-storage-of-their-playstation-4-ps4-console\">#5. One Can Utilize This Method to Create a Backup of the Internal Storage of Their PlayStation 4 (PS4) Console.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If an individual is satisfied with the internal storage capacity of their PS4, it is nevertheless advisable to contemplate the use of an external hard drive for the purpose of data backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People generally dislike corrupted data. Inside the realm of gaming, this phenomenon might encompass the unfortunate consequence of forfeiting all accumulated progress inside a game, or alternatively, the arduous process of reinstalling and downloading a game in its entirety, inclusive of all accompanying software updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons\"><span id=\"cons\">Cons<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some disadvantages to take into account when considering the utilization of an external hard drive for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) gaming console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-the-exposure-of-an-external-ps4-hard-drive-is-greater\"><span id=\"1-the-exposure-of-an-external-ps4-hard-drive-is-greater\">#1. The Exposure of an External PS4 Hard Drive Is Greater.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As their name implies, external hard drives are located apart from the main computing device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This implies that an external hard disk is comparatively more susceptible to potential damage in comparison to an internal hard drive. While this issue may not be of significant magnitude, it is imperative to consider the individuality of each person\u2019s gaming setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-failure-to-disconnect-data-properly-may-result-in-data-corruption\"><span id=\"2-failure-to-disconnect-data-properly-may-result-in-data-corruption\">#2. Failure to Disconnect Data Properly May Result in Data Corruption.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Failure to adhere to the prescribed protocol while detaching an external hard drive from a PlayStation 4 console may result in data corruption and the consequential loss of game files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-losing-an-external-hard-drive-is-a-relatively-simple-task-for-an-individual\"><span id=\"3-losing-an-external-hard-drive-is-a-relatively-simple-task-for-an-individual\">#3. Losing an External Hard Drive Is a Relatively Simple Task for an Individual.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>External hard drives have a compact physical footprint, which is highly advantageous. Additionally, it implies that they might be lost quite easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This issue is exacerbated when one frequently travels with an external hard disk. There is a possibility of misplacing the item in question or experiencing an event when it inadvertently falls out of one\u2019s bag, resulting in its permanent disappearance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-the-cost-of-an-external-solid-state-drive-ssd-is-higher-in-comparison-to-that-of-an-external-hard-disk-drive-hdd\"><span id=\"4-the-cost-of-an-external-solid-state-drive-ssd-is-higher-in-comparison-to-that-of-an-external-hard-disk-drive-hdd\">#4. The Cost of an External Solid-State Drive (Ssd) Is Higher in Comparison to That of an External Hard Disk Drive (Hdd).<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>External solid-state drives (SSDs) exhibit exceptional speed and have the potential to enhance one\u2019s gaming experience. However, there is a significant disparity in price between the two options. It is anticipated that the cost of solid-state drives (SSDs) will decrease gradually as time progresses. Currently, when faced with the decision to purchase an external solid-state drive (SSD) or hard disk drive (HDD) with equivalent storage capacities, it is evident that the price of an SSD is significantly higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-add-more-storage-to-my-ps4-nbsp\"><span id=\"can-i-add-more-storage-to-my-ps4\">Can I Add More Storage to My PS4?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An expanded storage device can be used to add space to your PlayStation\u00ae4 console, allowing you to install games that would otherwise not be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-many-games-can-you-put-on-a-500gb-ps4-nbsp\"><span id=\"how-many-games-can-you-put-on-a-500gb-ps4\">How Many Games Can You Put on a 500GB PS4?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There would be room for 12 games on a 500-GB hard drive. If you wish to play additional games but your hard disk is full, you\u2019ll have to delete some. If you want to play every game you possess at once, like the current generation, then you\u2019ll need a lot more than twelve games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-many-gb-is-the-ps4-nbsp\"><span id=\"how-many-gb-is-the-ps4\">How Many GB Is the PS4?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A user-upgradeable A 2.5 500 GB, 1 TB, or 2 TB hard disk is included in the console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-ps4-model-is-the-best\"><span id=\"which-ps4-model-is-the-best\">Which PS4 Model Is the Best?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0In conclusion. Those on a tighter budget should look into the PS4 Slim, while those with a 4K TV and an eye for gaming excellence should go with the PS4 Pro. If you really need a PlayStation now, that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-articles\"><span id=\"related-articles\">Related Articles<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/gaming\/why-wont-my-ps4-turn-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WHY WON\u2019T MY PS4 TURN ON: Reasons Why &amp; Possible Fixes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/how-to\/how-to-sync-ps4-controller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HOW TO SYNC PS4 CONTROLLER: Easy to Follow Guide<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/how-to\/how-to-delete-games-on-ps4-in-7-easy-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HOW TO DELETE GAMES ON PS4 IN 7 EASY STEPS<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/how-to\/how-to-back-up-mac-to-icloud-drive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HOW TO BACK UP MAC TO ICLOUD DRIVE 2023: EASY METHODS<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reference-nbsp\"><span id=\"reference\">Reference\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easeus.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">easeus.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">makeuseof.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The gaming business that relies on consoles is developing at a breakneck pace.
