## Overview

The Nyko Data Bank Plus is a versatile upgrade dock for PlayStation 4 that allows gamers to expand their internal memory by adding a 3.5" or 2.5" hard drive of their choice.

With universal compatibility and an LED access indicator, it’s the perfect addition for any serious gamer looking to optimize their console.

## Description

Easily upgrade the PS4's HDD space with the Data Bank Plus for PlayStation 4. The Data Bank Plus allows the use of a 3.5'' hard drive in addition to the stock 2.5'' hard drive that comes pre-installed in the system. This is a new feature for the Data Bank Plus and allows the stock HDD to still be used as storage. Switching between the two hard drives is simple and is done by the press of a button while the console is powered off. Typically, 3.5" hard drives have a higher read/write speed than 2.5" hard drives, which may slightly improve load times in some games and are available at higher capacities for a lower cost. The Data Bank also features a front facing LED indicator which illustrates when the PS4 is accessing or saving content on the HDD. The Data Bank is powered by a built-in power pass-through cord so it does not require its own power outlet.Installing the Data Bank Plus is easy and takes only a few minutes. After backing up your saved data, simply remove the top cover of the PS4 and take out the internal 2.5" hard drive by removing one screw via the included screw driver. Slide the included Universal Cartridge into place, fasten it down with the screw and then snap the Data Bank onto the top of the PS4. Once installed, place the 2.5" hard drive in the Data Bank and then place a SATA 3 3.5" hard drive in and attach the cover. The last step is to plug the power pass-through cord into the PS4 and then plug the PS4 power cord into the pass-through port. Detailed instructions on how to back up and transfer PS4 save files, Data Bank installation and how to initialize the PlayStation 4 firmware on a new drive are included in the box.With the Data Bank Plus installed, the storage capacity of the PS4 can be expanded up to 8TB* with a 3.5" hard drive, drastically increasing the amount of games and save files that can be stored on the system.Note: You must be running PlayStation 4 firmware 3.50 or higher to use above mentioned hard drive sizes. Not compatible with PS4 Slim or PS4 Pro

    Do Your Research, You'll Come Out Very Happy!
  

*by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2015*

****UPDATE 5/11/16:  As of the latest PS4 firmaware update -- "suspend" mode now works with non laptop/3.5 inch mass storage drives.  My 4TB Hybrid SSD now properly suspends.  Thank you Sony gods!**********Let me start off by saying that you, as a customer, must do your research when adding any hardware accessory that modifies the function of your PS4.  Most reviews criticizing this unit for not allow you to use a hard drive with 5/6 TB's is not the limitation of this accessory, it's a limitation of the PS4.  Will higher capacity drives work?  Yes, but there's exception to the functions of your PS4, which is not permeated by this Nyko accessory, but by the PS4 operating system itself.I believe Nyko could have done a better job educating the consumer in it's boxing/manual perhaps, however, I feel this is the responsibility of the consumer to research this prior to any modification to their console.  It's like someone jail breaking their iPhone, but they don't know the potential negative affects of doing so, because they didn't do their research beforehand.This accessory, essentially, allows you to use a standard 3.5 desktop hard drive.  Currently, I use a 4TB SSHD by Seagate inside.  From my research, people whom upgraded to anything larger than 4TB's have been having issues (sleep mode, power issues, restarts), which again, is not this accessories fault.  You may see people stating that 5TB+ hard drives work, and they're not wrong.  However, many (not all) run into functionality issues where bootup times are actually longer, access times for loading while playing games are longer, and other related issues.  But this is NOT caused by the Nyko Data Bank!!  It's an issue with the PS4's operating system of handling large volume storage.Now on to my actual review of this unit:Hardware -- It comes with a screw driver that you use to unscrew the single screw that's required to swap out the hard drive.  The quality of the actual unit itself is on par with the PS4 itself.  It's made of plastic, and in my estimation, feels exactly like the PS4's material. The fit of the unit is great; no forcing or struggling to slide and snap anything in.  It slid into place and fit like a glove.Functionality -- It does what it advertises, it allows you to upgrade your PS4's internal storage to that of a higher capacity, 3.5 inch, desktop hard drive.  I formatted the hard drive FIRST to exFAT (PS4 plays very nicely with this format), slid it into place, safely and securely into the Nyko expansion bay (make sure the connection is solid and firm, it should not wiggle at all).  I'm using a Seagate 4TB SSHD, and after doing a clean install of the PS4 firmware, I've loaded my restore data onto this hard drive, and everything works as normal, with the benefit of a larger capacity drive.  No problems with sleep mode, no problems with restarts.My tip for ANYONE questioning whether they should get this or not because of the other reviews.1.)  Do your research.2.)  Use hard drives 4TB's or smaller in capacity (a soft performance limitation caused by the PS4 OS, not Nyko's expansion bay)3.)  Using a PC, format your new hard drive as exFAT first, before putting into the Nyko unit4.)  Double check ALL connections prior to booting up your PS4 with the new hardware installed***Problems you may run into NOT because of this accessory1.)  The PS4 OS, currently doesn't play nicely with large volume storage.  This is why, for the meantime, Nyko recommends 2TB's.  I'm currently using a 4TB drive which I'm happy with.2.)  You WILL have issues with suspend mode when using higher capacity drives, however again, this is NOT a problem caused by this Nyko unit, this is a limitation of the current PS4 firmware.  Sony will need to put out an update that supports suspend/sleep mode with higher capacity drives.  For now, you will just have to shut off your PS4 normally until then.  If you're ok with this, then there isn't any issues.

    Works fine with a little effort
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2015*

Short Review: Reccommend this with up to a 4 TB HDD. The Data Bank works ok so far with my 4 TB WD Green HDD. Data Bank looks nice enough, seems halfway sturdy. Instructions that come with the Data Bank are very nice, but I think you may need to follow them step by step because I didn't and ran into issues. Maybe you actually do need to install the OS in safe mode. You get to the safe mode by holding down the power button until the second beep.Whole Story:I bought the Data Bank and a 4 TB WD My Book since it was cheaper than any other 4 TB hard drive I've ever seen (it was $96) and decided that I'd just remove it and stick it in the Data Bank. Removing the hard drive from the enclosure wasn't too hard, there are probably even videos on how to do it. Regardless of that, whether you decide to buy an external drive and remove it or just get an internal hard drive, I HIGHLY recommend downloading the software to your USB drive first before you get to work on anything else since it takes the most time out of the whole process. Also, I recommend downloading all of your save data to a USB drive prior to swapping out the hard drives. You don't necessarily need to do this as much if you're a PS Plus member, but it's not too bad of an idea to be on the safe side. When I first booted up my PS4 with the new HDD in it, everything worked well for a while. Once I put in a physical disk though, it said the data was corrupted and asked me to delete it and reinstall it. I did this, and it said the same thing again and again for a few times. Used the "rebuild database" option on the PS4 a time or two, nothing worked. The games would install, but I couldn't play them, and I always got the same "data is corrupted, delete and reinstall" message. I had to initialize my PS4 again, and once I did my games started working. The first time I transferred the OS onto my PS4 HDD I did NOT do so in Safe Mode, and I think this may have been the reason for my aforementioned troubles. I haven't imported my previous save data to the new hard drive yet, I just installed and booted up a game to make sure it actually worked. I'm going to install the rest of my games and import my save data and hope everything continues to work, either way I'll update this post with more information.Four stars so far, five if I can come back to this in a week or so and still say I recommend it and everything works.Update: Might not have been my non safe mode OS install that made my hard drive not recognize any games. I did however get the hard drive to recognize some games once I reinstalled the OS under safe mode, but there was still one game that wouldn't launch after the update file for it installed. I then took the hard drive out and reformatted it to exFAT and that seems to have solved my problems. Since I reformatted my hard drive to exFAT haven't had the usual "corrupt data" or "disk unreadable" messages, nor have I gotten the error codes 30012 or 30034 to come up when launching my games. Still using the same WD Green 4TB hard drive that I pulled out of a 4TB WD My Book. So far I'm happy with both the Data Bank and the WD 4TB Green hard drive, even though it takes a little bit of effort to make it work properly.

    Awesome!!
  

*by K***4 on Reviewed in Canada on January 19, 2018*

My boyfriend loves this. I ordered it for his birthday along with a seagate barracuda 3.5 inch drive and it was a seamless instal. You have to move everything off of your ps4 because the update will erase everything but if you follow the directions step by step it is very simple !! My brother-in-law will be purchasing one shortly because of the interest in this one.
