Iirc that doesn't actually work, because the console reformats it for its own use when you plug it in for the first time.

If I never deleted anything I've ever owned for PS4 I'd for sure be close.

Idk, maybe speed or something?

Also apparently there's some 8 TB models that don't work without effort either lol.

I don't understand how you would ever need more than that. I'm doing fine with the original hard drive

Less than 5 years probably.

COD MW is already over 200. I can see it happening sooner rather than later.

You should be more annoyed that the expansion slot for the SSD is disabled at launch because they didn't get a chance to "certify" any yet.

External drives only work for PS4 games so they won't ever hit 500 GB.

They did admit originally there likely wouldn't be any certified at launch. I think the only real surprise is that it's fully disabled.

No idea, I don't actually have a PS5 yet >_> I'm just looking at this for the future
