5 best external hard drives for ps4

The lowest price allowed this Filipino modest to get into our top best external hard drives for PS4. Among competitors, it does not differ in the amount of available memory (1 TB) or write speed (500 GB), but it was and remains one of the most sought-after solid state drives in the computer hardware market. Light weight (230 grams) and a high-quality component base make BASICS 1TB an extremely reliable information storage. The absence of noise is also pleasing, which, among other things, is due to the not very high speed of rotation of the spindle - only 5400 rpm. In addition, the drive is able to fully operate even when dropped from a height of one meter, and the absence of the need for additional power makes it extremely mobile.

Customers note in their reviews small dimensions, low heating under heavy loads and the presence of separate light indicators when connected to USB 3.0 / 2.0, which makes this drive one of the most convenient to use.

This model is one of the most compact on the market, which allowed it to take an honorable 4th place in our TOP of the best external drives for PS4. It is similar in size to the LG G3 smartphone. It is noteworthy that STEA4000400 4 TB was recognized as the best at the international exhibition of consumer electronics in 2014.

The package includes the hard drive itself, a shortish USB 3.0 power cable and instructions for use, although they are not needed, since the device works on the “Plug and ready” principle. You can also get an external case for it. The case is made of plastic and metal-like optics, it feels and looks very high quality. A total of 4 colors are available: gray, red, blue and black. Despite the absence of shock-absorbing elements, the disk does not vibrate during the working process.

Most of the reviews are extremely positive, which, coupled with an amazing combination of size and volume, makes the device interesting for the buyer.

Seagate once again surprised buyers by presenting a 4 terabyte STEA4000400 drive for mere pennies. It would seem that users should expect a catch here, but no, the quality of the product does not cause any complaints. Somewhat embarrassing is the lack of an air gap and seals in the package, which can damage the device in case of a fall. A mandatory attribute of use here is the safe removal of the device, since hard drives are often covered due to their unceremonious pulling out of the USB port. The appearance causes genuine delight and a sense of the volume of the outer shell. The temperature during recording leaves about 38 degrees with an average and small array of data processing. When processing 1 TB or more, it starts to heat up to 50 degrees.

In general, buyers are satisfied with this model.There is a high speed of USB 3.1 (6 GB / s), honest 4 GB of capacity and fast data reading with minimal noise.

Among the best external drives for PS4, WD falls slightly short of the top 1. Despite the impressive amount of data storage (6 GB), which is why we paid attention to it, WD still loses to many SSDs in terms of speed. Among classmates, this is perhaps one of the most monstrous representatives of his class. Its appearance fully reflects a purely utilitarian purpose - working with a large amount of data. The design is very strict, without frills, which does not prevent the device from fitting into the interior of any home.

Buyers note in their reviews the absence of noise, vibration and any heating, even with intensive use of the drive. True, you won’t be able to carry it in your pocket - it weighs about a kilogram, and it looks more like a miniature system unit than an external hard drive. WD has proven itself to be a conscientious manufacturer of reliable drives, and the Elements Desktop 6 TB is no exception.

The miracle of technology from Samsung naturally got into our rating, thanks to many technical innovations. One such know-how is 3D NAND vertical flash memory. It contains transistors with a vertical floating gate, which helped to significantly increase the amount of stored data. In addition, the new generation USB interface began to provide higher speed when transferring information.Despite the general lag in the maximum recording speed from the T3 series, this model is able to stably hold 300-325 mb / s for a long period of time. This is especially useful when recording videos or downloading video games.
Users in the reviews note the high reliability and speed of the Samsung T5 compared to competitors. Thus, you will get high-quality data storage and instantaneous loading of all types of data.
