How to Add Memory to a PS4

Best Answer

You can add more memory to your PS4 by upgrading its internal hard drive or by connecting an external USB hard drive. For the internal upgrade, grab a compatible 2.5-inch SATA drive, open the PS4's top cover, and swap out the old one. If you prefer the easier route, simply plug in an external USB 3.0 drive and format it through the PS4 settings. Both methods will give you more storage space for games and apps!

Upgrading the internal storage of your PS4 is a bit more hands-on but totally worth it. Buy a 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD, backup your data to a USB drive or PS Plus cloud storage, then follow some easy online guides. You'll need a screwdriver and a bit of patience, but the result is more room for all those awesome games!

I've upgraded my PS4's storage myself! Swapped the internal HDD with a 2TB SSD, and it's made a world of difference. Games load faster, and I've got plenty of space for my library. Just follow an online guide and backup your data first!
