My PS4 desparetly needs a new hard drive but fucking 2.5" drives are still so overpriced and have such low capacities in comparison to their 3.5" cousins. Won't somebody fix this?
The next console gen is going to be truly glorious.
There's a reason why there is nothing cheap and that large.
A 3.5 inch harddrive can add more platters, so a large capacity is possible. The 2.5 inch is too thin and has a much smaller number of platters that can be used. It looks like the highest capacity on a 2.5 inch is 800GB per platter vs 1149GB on a 3.5

Your best bet is to wait for SSD prices to drop, since we're more likely to see cheap high density NAND chips get developed than more R&D placed on improving platter density on a traditional HDD.
i cant wait until there's like an affordable 5tb ssd im gonna buy one just to jack off on it
yeah i mean you're pretty much Up Shits Creek looking for a high capacity 2.5" HDD, that be unneeded most of the time
