Sony just updated the PlayStation Blog with a lengthy list of “frequently asked questions” for the PlayStation 4. We’re nearly two weeks away from that next-gen console’s Nov. 15 launch, which means it’s about time we got some of these answers.
The company revealed that gamers can expand the storage of the PlayStation 4 as long as they are replacing the internal drive because PS4 doesn’t support external hard drives.
“PS4 is equipped with a 5400 RPM SATA II hard drive,” reads Sony’s FAQ. “Users can choose to install a new hard drive so long as it complies with these standards: [It] is no thicker than 9.5mm and is larger than 160GB.”
In regard to the external hard drive, the FAQ simply says, “No, this feature is not supported on PS4.”
