🕹 PS4 and Xbox 💾 load games faster, add storage with SSD - DIY in 5 Ep 87


You can load games faster with external SSDs, with the added benefit of storing more game. Even if you sprung for the 1TB version of the PS4 or Xbox One, with AAA titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 file size being at least 100GB, they fill up fast. The solution is an external SSD. In this video we'll show you and easier way to add external SSD storage to these game console to increase storage and load games faster. Xbox One storage Since Microsoft has supported Xbox external storage from the beginning, this is a pretty simple process. The only requirements are that your drive needs to be at least 256GB and use USB 3.0. Xbox One can support up to two drives at a time, so you can really house a ton of games without needing to worry about maxing out storage. Simply plug your new SSD into one of the 3 USB ports and you’ll see a pop up letting you know the drive has been detected. By default, the drive will only be able to store pictures, music and video files, so you’ll want to go to settings and format the drive. Give it a name, set it to be the default location for game and app downloads and it will be ready to store games. PS4 storage With the PS4 the process is not terribly different if you have updated your PS4 firmware version 4.50 which included support for external drives. The hard drive can be up to 8TB in size, no larger, and like the Xbox it must use USB 3.0. Unlike the Xbox however, the PS4 will only recognize one external storage device at a time, even though two can be connected, so make sure you use one that is large enough. Note that USB hubs are not compatible. Once you’ve connected your SSD to one of the two USB ports, you’ll want to go to Settings - Devices - USB Storage Devices - then Format as Extended Storage and your SSD will become the new default destination for games. Faster boot times Now whether you are increasing the storage on an Xbox One or PS4, you’ll probably notice a speed boost when launching games stored on the external storage. This is because the speed of the both your external drive and the USB connection will probably be faster than the 5400RPM HDD and SATA connection included in both the Xbox One and PS4. You’ll notice an even greater increase in speed if you go with an SSD over a traditional hard drive, we recommend SSDs like the HyperX EXO external SSD.
