Through our own time testing drive to drive, our best PS4 external hard drive pick is the WD My Passport 4TB ... further style to a quality HDD. We'd go for the 4TB version, for several reasons.

We all have large files and photos that we need to store for work and personal needs. You cannot just rely on your laptop or PC storage for a long period as they can break down and you may lose data.

And all that testing has taught us one thing. The best Xbox One external hard drive is the WD Black P40, a speedy plug-in that also happens to be our favorite external hard drive for gaming overall.

The WD Blue SN5000 offers up to 4TB of storage, doubling the capacity of its predecessor. It delivers speeds of up to 5,500MB/s, a 24% increase over the previous generation.
