Peripheral manufacturer Nyko has announced a new PS4 accessory that will let users replace their internal hard drive with a bigger, cheaper 3.5″ hard drive.
The Nyko Data Bank is essentially a plastic enclosure that sits atop your PS4 and lets you plug in a 3.5″ internal hard drive, which are often much cheaper and support a larger amount of storage space than the 2.5″ hard drives currently supported by the console.
According to IGN, the company is aiming to release the peripheral for around $30-$40, although a UK price and date has yet to be confirmed.
While the method isn’t officially supported by Sony, it’s technically already possible to use an external 3.5″ hard drive by unhooking the internal PS4 hard drive and connecting an external via the exposed SATA port.
Sony told VideoGamer.com in October that it was aware of requests to support external hard drives on PS4, but has yet to confirm when or if support will be introduced in a future system update.
