Manufacturer description

The WD 4TB My Passport Game Storage is built for PS4 owners who keep deleting installed games to make room for the next one. Connect it to a PlayStation 4 or PS4 Pro running firmware 4.50 or later, run the console's quick format, and you add up to 4TB of external storage over USB 3.0 in a few minutes. There's no separate power brick and no console teardown: the drive draws power from the USB port, so it travels in a backpack alongside a controller and works the same on a friend's PS4. That portability is the real argument for external expansion over swapping the internal drive. The slim…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my PS4 Pro?

Yes. WD lists compatibility with both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro consoles, provided the console is running system firmware 4.50 or later.

How many games can I fit on 4TB?

It depends on the titles. At roughly 50GB per modern PS4 game you'd fit about 70-80 installs; large open-world games at 100GB each bring that closer to 35-40.

Do I need a separate power supply?

No. The My Passport is bus-powered over the included USB 3.0 cable, so the console supplies power and there's no AC adapter to plug in.

Is it hard to set up?

No. Connect the drive to the PS4 with the USB 3.0 cable and run the console's format step from the system settings menu. WD describes it as fast and easy setup with no internal drive swap.
