Sony’s PlayStation 4 has finally received external hard drive support. This means that both the PS4 and Xbox One now allow you to simply plug in any one of the hard drives we’ve listed below to a USB port on your console to expand your storage.

PS4 and Xbox One have very similar requirements for external storage. Drives on both consoles must be USB 3.0 compatible and have a storage capacity no smaller than 256GB.

On PS4, the capacity can be no greater than 8TB, although drives at that size are very expensive. On Xbox One, two external drives can be used simultaneously. With those parameters in mind, here are the best external hard drives for PS4 and Xbox One:
