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.
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.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
"All signs point to the hardware becoming less and less important to Microsoft."
Less innovation and competition. People act like if MS went away life would be better but it would just mean you have one less choice as to where to spend your money. If Sony became the defacto home console provider and Nintendo the handheld, then these companies could limit what you get and you would ultimately have very little choice but to support them if you want to play games.
I was a video that suggested that Steam could potentially get into the console market if Xbox ceases to exist. They already had the Steam Machine(?), and they have the Steam Deck for the portable market. I’m not in the pc space at all so I wouldn’t know if that would be a realistic statement.
No Xbox future I am going to guess Microsoft will go down the path Sega choose and be a publisher/game developer with their in house studios. Or sell off their in house studios and just go back to making os for PC's. I highly doubt the second part. Microsoft like any company wants to make money. So if Microsoft did say pull the plug on Xbox I see them going down the path Sega went. And utilize Xbox as a brand and not just as a console. I can see the name of XBox being mainly a brand after that. And maybe with the game you see published by or developed by Xbox studios.
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."
