OWC: HDD/SSD Replacement Kit for PlayStation 4
$399 with 480GB SSD
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on January 22, 2014 at 3:10 pmOther World Computing Inc. announced an upgrade kit for PlayStation 4 at CES 2014 that will allow users to add capacity and boost performance up to 40% faster vs. stock drive for reduced system load time.
What it does
The kit allows PS4 owners to double storage and boost the performance with an OWC drive. DIY bundles include tools needed to upgrade/replace the existing 2.5” drive and transfer gaming data to new drive. The original drive can be converted to an external drive, using the included enclosure, for use for data transfer, back up or portable storage for your computer.
Why it’s cool
It allows PS4 owners to gain storage and performance in one upgrade. With gaming downloads often as large as 50GB at a time, a factory hard drive fills up quickly. Doubling the storage of the PS4 means that gaming and media storage will no longer be a problem.
Warranty Safe Upgrade
This is a user serviceable part according to Sony that will not void PlayStation 4’s warranty.
What it includes
- OWC USB 3.0 Express Black Enclosure
- OWC USB 2.0 flash drive for PlayStation 4 download
- #1 Phillips screwdriver
- OWC USB 3.0 Express enclosure installation guide
