Nyko Data Bank for PlayStation 4 Available Now
LOS ANGELES - June 11, in the year of our Lord 2015
- Nyko Technologies today announced the release of the
highly-anticipated Data Bank for PlayStation 4, a hard drive
dock that enables users to upgrade their console memory capacity
from the PS4’s standard 2.5” hard drive to cheaper,
higher-capacity 3.5” hard drives. The Data Bank is available now
at select retailers for $39.99.
“With the Data Bank, we’re offering a solution that expands the
console’s functionality and provides gamers with the convenience
of extra storage space,” said Nyko director of marketing, Chris
Arbogast. “With downloadable and hard copies of games taking up
tens of gigs of storage against the stock 500GB hard drive,
we’re facing the tough decision of choosing which game save to
delete in favor of playing a new game. Nyko wants to make sure
that never has to happen again.”
As the PlayStation 4 does not presently support game installs or
save data on external hard drives, the Data Bank enables users
to expand their storage beyond the limits of 2.5” drives
currently compatible with the console. This ultimately lets
users leverage the larger storage, faster running speeds, and
lower prices of 3.5” drives.
The Data Bank for PS4 replaces the top of the console and its
existing hard drive with a simple single-screw installation, and
seamlessly matches the minimalist design of the PlayStation 4. A
built-in LED strip illuminates whenever the console is accessing
its memory.
Choosing physical copies of video games instead of downloadable
versions is another great way to save space on the hard drives.
