You've decided that you need a new hard drive for your PS4 and an external hard drive won't do the job. It is an upgrade that may or may not improve things, but if you can do it, why not? We have included the read and write speeds if they're a deciding factor for you. Some of the best options for PS4 are listed here.

When you need something with more power and storage than the best external hard drives, you can go for the solid state drives. The price increase will give you more space for more games, even if it's more expensive.

It's a really nice quality of life upgrade to expand the storage in your PS4. We like the Western Digital Blue because it's a name you can trust, but the SanDisk is a name you will know as well, and offers a great product at a reasonable price.

If you want to save money, you can always use the below hybrid drive, but a full solid state drive is better for you.

The compromise

I don't blame you if you are overwhelmed by these prices. The cost of solid-state storage is still high. There is another option if you still want to see an increase in speed on your PS4.
