- Before we get into today's video,
I wanna give a quick shoutout for a project
a collaboration I got to do with Youtube's own
Phil DeFranco, we had a lot of fun
things went off the rails.
Did a little bit of trivia
and there was even some punishment involved
for the loser.
That's about all I can tell you right here
so check out the link in the description.
There's also an annotation somewhere here
so watch this video then go watch that one.
Thank you very much guys, show some Unbox Therapy love.
Much appreciation.
(breathing deeply)
What's up guys, Lou here back with another video
and today I'm gonna be showing you
how you can substantially increase the storage
on your Playstation 4,
got one over here you'll see it in a minute,
using this Nyko modular data bank.
It will allow you to put a 3.5 inch hard drive
so something like this, I've got a six terabyte
Western Digital Black over here so something like that
or whatever it is that you have lying around.
It'll allow you to put that on top of your PS4.
Now the reason that's important is because
unlike on your Xbox you cannot just connect
an external USB drive and install games onto it.
You can of course swap out the 2.5 inch drive
that's currently installed for another bigger one
but you're gonna pay a lot of money
for a little bit of storage and if you wanna
do something crazy like six terabytes,
that's just not currently available
in the 2.5 inch form factor.
Let's open this thing up and take a closer look at it.
Now it kinda sticks up a little bit
kinda like an appendage.
You probably want an external USB drive
for backing up whatever is currently on your Playstation
before installing this guy here.
This is pretty light actually.
Comes with a little tiny screwdriver
for the purpose of installation
and then this little tray over here.
Okay. Perfect.
And some instructions which do I really need?
Nah, Jack what do you think?
Geez Lou, doesn't need to be this complicated.
Think I never done this before.
This is the main component here.
This is actually, you can kind of see through this
a little bit, so I guess you can look in
and see your large hard drive.
If you're the kind of guy that
likes to remind yourself of how big your hard drive is.
And then on the back you can see there's like
a power cable pass through.
It's time to do some surgery here.
Is this a record breaking Playstation?
Maybe, I don't know if there's any other
six terabyte Playstations out there.
That just slides off, I was right.
Now you'll see how much smaller the stock drive
in a Playstation is here.
Jack you gotta see how cool this screw is too here.
This is like my favorite screw of all time.
Right now everybody's thinking,
Lou it's a screw, calm down.
Cool right?
Okay fine, you're not as excited as I am.
This was the stock drive 500 gigabytes.
These drives, desktop drives, are faster too.
Substantially faster.
This little component here replaces where that one went.
Just slides right in there, you take that fancy little screw
put it back into this spot here.
The big, the behemoth here
oh like that okay perfect.
Booya!
Now you wanna connect this part here
regular sata connector in that location
and then connect your drive.
Six terabyte WD Black, getting it done.
The cool thing here, there you go
you can sort of feel it connect
The cool thing here is if you wanted to then
take this one out and put another one in
for whatever reason it's actually really easy.
It's just this little cover here.
So this guy goes on top.
There we go, yea I can't, without a flashlight
I'm not gonna be able to appreciate my hard drive
the way I'd like to.
And then the last thing to do on the back
is you take this little cable,
bring it over to the power plug
and simply plug that in, right like that.
Now you're standard Playstation power cable
is gonna go from here to the wall
and everything's gonna be powered up.
Now if you have an older Playstation
running older firmware, then this six terabyte drive
might not function as expected so it's important
to check out which version you have
so you know it's gonna work well.
Otherwise you might wanna stick to a two terabyte expansion
which is supported pretty much on every Playstation.
Actually, it is supported on every Playstation.
There's a press release on Nyko's website
which details all of this, I'll link it in the description
as well as a link to this product page.
Build yourself a monster.
A six terabyte PS4.
Now I'm definitely Rocky.
You see the, don't forget the uppercut.
Just when you were relaxing, you had the hands up
you were looking for the overhead
but I hit you from underneath.
