Reaching the upper limited of your beloved console's storage? The fix isn't as intimidating as you may think.

Back in the day, it was a pretty tedious task expanding the storage in your PS4. It would involve opening up the console and extracting the HDD that was hidden away inside. Thanks to some nifty updates from the team at Sony, it is nearly as simple as just plugging in a external storage device.

There are a couple specs that you need to hit with your Storage Device. It needs to be between 250GB and 8TB, and it needs to be USB 3.0 compatible.

It has to be noted that not all Hard-Drives are made equal. SSD storage devices and even SSHD Hybrid Drives will have an impact on how quickly your games will load, so definitely something to consider. In terms of performance/speed:

Ah the Cloud… So convenient, and yet it seems to get so many people in trouble.

Last month we gave you the heads up on the latest from Western Digital – the WD My Passport Wireless. Well now we're giving you some more awesome info… it's here!

The number of features WD have packed into such a small device really blew us away. Wireless connectivity alone would have been an excellent feature to set the My Passport apart, but including power reserve for device charging and the Wi-Fi Hub features as well makes this an incredible device.

Now that Xbox One allows you to use external hard drives as an alternative means for storing your game installs and saves, the number one question has to be “Which Hard Drive Loads the Best?”

In a recent test by GamerZone, the Western Digital My Passport was put to the test and came out with some awesome results.

Not only do you get the upgrade in storage space – a huge benefit when most games are averaging 50GB installs – but loading times see a significant boost as well.

The people at Western Digital are ponderous folks. When asked what would make a portable hard drive better, they put their heads together and came up with a brilliant answer… Wireless.

But they didn't stop there – they thought even harder and came up with a few more answers…

  • You know what? Why not just make it a Wi-Fi hub.
