Want to Add More Storage to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Wii U? Learn How to Do It?



If you’re a hardcore gamer and want to enjoy all your favorite games without any interruption then probably you should purchase a game PC or a PlayStation. All the gaming consoles available in the market come with a wide collection of PSP games, and you can also download the latest ones from the PlayStation store. Gamers having Sony PlayStation installed at their ends will have direct access to the PlayStation store, which offers a wide range of the available content for download. Since the technology is evolving at a rapid rate, gaming consoles have also come a long way from simple cartridges and cassette modes. The gaming consoles available nowadays just resemble the gaming PCs that incorporate inbuilt storage to save files, latest game updates, and digitally downloaded games. If you think that the pre-defined storage space isn’t enough to store your desired stuff then, follow the tips mentioned below to add more storage to your console and enjoy more space.

Tips to Add Storage to PlayStation 4


PlayStation 4

Sony PlayStation 4 or PS4 incorporates a 500 GB internal storage drive, and it doesn’t allow users to connect an external drive via USB cable. But, the company realizes the need of having more storage space and allows you to upgrade the internal drive. Users can easily enjoy more storage space by simply removing the internal 500 GB drive and installing a new drive (greater space dive) in its place. Since, the company uses standard 2.5-inch SATA drives for its gaming consoles, it becomes easier for users to replace the same without many hassles. 

Tech geeks recommend picking up a standard mechanical drive with the correct physical size and swapping it to replace your original storage to terabytes of storage. Some users may also like to install a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a mechanical drive, but it will not impact the disk access and loading time of the console. 

Xbox One

Xbox One 


The Xbox One too includes a 500 GB internal storage drive, but here you can’t upgrade the internal drive. Users can connect an external drive or specifically use a fast USB 3 external drive to speed up the game load times. The gaming console uses a slow SATA II internal drive so the external drive may empower your gaming experience and perform faster than your console’s default storage.

Additionally, ensure that the external drive you’re attaching should support USB 3.0 and must be over 256 GB in size. This gaming console allows users to connect up to two external drives at once and also supports USB 2.0 to access music and video files stored on the drive only.

Wii U

Wii U 


Nintendo’s world class Wii U console ships with 8 GB (basics) and 32 GB (Deluxe) of internal storage. You can use this console to save game data, download game updates, and download games from Nintendo’s eShop.

Users can connect an external hard drive to Wii U via a USB cable but remember that this console only supports USB 2.0 speed. You can only connect up to 2 TB in size and can also use Nintendo as its power source. Tech geeks recommend using a mechanical drive instead of a solid-state drive, and you can easily connect an external drive to the console using a power cable.

Conclusion


All game console manufacturers allow users to enhance their gaming device’s storage by either attaching an external drive or upgrading an existing one. You will need to arrange a USB cable, purchase an adequate hard disk drive and spare some time to make out of your PSP games. If you have, a Sony PlayStation then the gaming experience will be more enchanting as it is the most demanded brands in gaming console series. Once you successfully install an additional storage space, you may experience optimal performance, functional boost and faster game loading on all your consoles, irrespective of their model and make. PlayStation 3 can also swap its internal drive and upgrade it simply like you do on a PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360. Original Wii users should not feel disheartened as they can take help of an SD card of up to 32 GB to enjoy seamless Multimedia experience!
