You will have the option to choose between the internal and external drive as the game installation location. Another way to expand the storage of your PS4 is to replace the hard drive inside the machine.
It's not as complicated as it sounds and could be ideal if you, say, want to add a solid state drive for speedier access. You will have to take at least part of the console apart. Sony makes it very simple for you, but you will still find the process a little long-winded. The easy part though is choosing a drive.
The PS4 uses a 2. However, not any old 2. To fit a PS4 it will need to be no greater than 9. Some have also suggested pure SSD equivalents, which ramp up load speeds dramatically, but can be prohibitively expensive if you're trying to increase storage rather than shrink it. Installing a PS4 hard drive is a lot more time consuming than increasing the storage via an external solution.
The PS4 will take a bit more to get up and running, which includes having to back up files as you'll have to completely start afresh once the new drive is in place.

My son has PS4 wireless headphones and the chip goes in one port. His controller goes in the other port.
He wants external hard drive for storage and it seems that would have to plug in directly to the console looking at the other comments. Would the headphones chip and controller work from a usb hub so that all 3 items are on the go together? As you wrote, usb 3. So it is same technology with transfer speed 5 gbps. No one have transfer speed 10 gbps, which is usb 3. Sorry for bad english. Yes, the terms USB 3. Thanks for notifying us of that. What is the preferred powered USB hub please? I want to connect an external HDD, Headphones and also controller charging cable.
I bought my grandson a gaming headset with a USB connector on end. The old headset plugged into the controller with a 3. Can he use this new headset plugged in on one of the USB ports and the controller in the other port? Put an ssd in place of the hd Sata 2 , or use an ssd as an external disk? Have a look here.
