What type of hard drive should I be looking for a Playstation 4? I am usually partial towards SSD over traditional, but I am also open to the idea of hybrids as well.I have looked into Samsung 850 EVO and PRO SSDs and I have personal experience with SanDisk SSD on my personal gaming computer. These are a little out of my price range.There are many different sites that recommend HDDs, but I want to make sure what I am getting is going to have great life expectency along with great performance.Here is a site that has a comparison test between the three different types and their performance (too much info to post on here):http://www.ign.com/wikis/playstation-4/PlayStation_4_Hard_Drive_Speed_Test_ComparisonAccording to the site, SSD has an overall better performance with the install time, boot time, and level load.If you would like to recommend companies or even particular drives, that would be very appreciative as well.Update:I am realized that SSDs are a bit out of my price range for 1TB. So I am going ahead and check out some 2.5 HDDs.
1TB or more HDD for Playstation 4

I have looked for other HDD that fit your requirements, and the one you linked to in your comments is the best that I have found. Its capacity is 2TB, it is a standard size, so it will fit inside your PS4, and everywhere I have looked, people have stated that it is a reliable drive. The downside to this drive is its speed. White it uses the SATA 6.0 Gbps interface, I doubt you will see that in your use. Ideally, you would want the RPM to be around 7200, but since this is such a high density drive, you should see the same, if not better, performance than the stock HDD that came with your console.
