Playstation fans recently came to know about the official specification of Playstation 4 HDD via Germany Tech website "ComputerBild".
Here are few more details regarding PS4 Hard Drive: tech specs, Upgrade Advice, Performance and many more things.
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Some useful info there that i had no idea about, thanks. I didn't know that it would be unwise to put an SSD into the PS4, so thanks for letting me know.
Glad I can start shopping for one now. Want to have it on hand so I can upgrade on day one.
"Basic PS4 HDD Info
Make: HGST
Size: 500GB
RPM: 5400
Form Factor: 2.5 inch
Upgrade Options
Type: SATA based 2.5 inch laptop HDDs
Height: Between 9mm and 12.5mm
Prices: At the time of writing, the sweet spot is 1TB or 2TB drives. There is essentially no premium on larger drives right now (meaning two 1TB drives cost about the same as a single 2TB).
NOTE: 1.5TB is currently the maximum you can fit into a PS4."
Seems a decent choice of appropriate 1TB sata drives but not seen any drives bigger than that. Anyone recommend any?
I did say this before in the other article..
Performance
Higher RPM doesn't mean faster load times. Platter size (the disks that are inside the HDD) play an equally important role. Here's a quick rule of thumb to pick priority: size, RPM, cache (in that order).
5400RPM means nothing cause, the technology used in these HDDs nowadays is different than the ones in the ps3´s HDDs, and, speed sometimes can be irrevelant.
I'm still seeing a lot of people pointing towards getting an SSDHD. I don't know if those folks didn't read down far enough or what but I'm going to post this because I don't want people coming back and saying they weren't told before hand. Okay, so here is the end statements of that article, Get an SSD at your own risk,
"Warnings
PS4 does not appear to currently support TRIM. This means that if you install an SSD drive, it will likely die much earlier than intended.
TL;DR
The best bang for your buck HDD for performance, cooling, and size will be a 5400rpm 2TB 2.5inch HDD. If you've got extra cash, pop for a Hybrid drive but be aware these are untested right now. Avoid SSDs until the PS4 supports TRIM."
