Recently I wrote about the need to expand on my storage space on the PlayStation 4. This was hardly an issue exclusive to the Sony platform, as the Microsoft Xbox One also only shipped with a 500 gigabyte hard drive. The end result? More games than I had space for within the first year. While the process of getting a PlayStation 4 upgraded was a bit more work, the solution for the Xbox One is simple and elegant.
With the PlayStation 4, I was required to actually open the hardware up and replace the internal hard drive. I found a solution for roughly one hundred bucks that jumped my total storage from 500GB to 1.75TB. The replacement of the drive was relatively easy, but it certainly took some time. There was the backing up of data and re-downloading of games that took a few days to complete. This is due to the fact that the PlayStation 4 does not support external solutions without using a third party accessory.
Microsoft encourages the use of an external drive, and the entire process is better for it. After reading a bunch of reviews for it, I opted for the Toshiba 2TB Canvio Basics USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive. Because we are adding onto the current machine, there is no need to back up the data or to go out and reacquire your prior titles. The time saved here alone was awesome, and it was nice not to have to open up the console (something that would void your warranty for the Xbox One anyways).
We all like to feel safe and protected. If we are talking about the online environment, we know that is quite hard to get that feeling because hackers do exist and that’s not the end of the threats. All of personal information can be damaged by a simple virus or worse get stolen. Yes, the online environment although in most of the cases is a protected one there are still different methods used by a certain group of individuals to take advantage of software problems and many other. But why do they do that, well the answer is quite simple. Some do it for fun others do it to get money and some of them might be even paid of certain companies to spy on their competition.
