Avolusion HD250U3-X1-1TB-PS 1TB 2.5" USB 3.0 portable external hard drive

PlayStation 4 ready storage

The Avolusion HD250U3-X1-1TB-PS is a 1TB portable external hard drive that arrives pre-formatted for PlayStation 4, PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro consoles. It connects through a USB 3.0 port and adds game and media space without any console-side preparation. The 2.5 inch form factor keeps the unit small enough to sit beside the console or travel in a bag.

Plug in and play

Installation is limited to inserting the USB cable into any front or rear port on the console; the drive draws power from the same connection so no separate adapter is required. The pre-formatted file system means the PS4 recognises the volume immediately, avoiding the usual initialisation step. A common issue is using a USB hub that cannot supply enough current, which causes the drive to disconnect during large transfers.

One terabyte of extra room

The 1TB capacity holds dozens of modern game installs, captured video clips and downloadable content with headroom for future patches. USB 3.0 provides a 5.0 Gbps link that keeps load times close to internal drive speeds for most titles. Very large libraries or users who keep every capture indefinitely will eventually fill the volume and need a second drive or cloud offload.
