So you have to apply the jailbreak every single time you boot your PS4 so you can't find one that is fully "pre-jailbroken" You can buy them with PKGs installed and ready to go but in order to play them you will still need to run the exploit and apply the jailbreak. That being said it is really easy to do. The hardest thing is to find a PS4 on a low firmware (this is the one I went with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012UGC9F0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Though now you can get PS4s up to 5.05 and still crack them so you should be able to find better or cheaper units. Check Wololo for guides on how to find a hackable unit. It is fairly easy to find and install games up to 5.05 firmware and play them on the PS4 yourself. You also can still upgrade the hard drive yourself which I suggest you do. I went with a 2 TB internal drive upgrade which is enough for a lot of games. As of now I'm not sure about online play as I always use my PS4 for single player games (of which there are MANY). Yes you also can install pkg files instead of isos as most of the library is availble on the PSN store at this time. Additionally you can play PS2 games that have been ripped and converted to PKG files on the PS4 if that is something that interests you. If you like playing great single player games (ahem backups) then yeah it is worth it to hack it.

Yes here are my drives. Both working fine but keep in mind I have modified my console drive housing to accommodate the 15mm height requirement of the new drive. You can see in the imgur post here:

Ordered 4tb on Amazon.

For my usage. Can play all day and let it charge while I sleep

Thank you! I have seen the size of the games I want to have and my 500gb has space for plenty of them (+10), so I found this drive for 30$, I think it´s a great deal, right?

Well if you talking about the Destiny: The Taken King Bundle according to http://wololo.net/2017/10/23/ps4-get-hands-ps4-4-05-firmware-lower/ then yes! maybe buy two & sell it when the price goes up.

I havent used ali express but got this one from amazon. You could try to find it on ali if they have it. Works fine for me.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N3P763C?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

Whose talking about a shitty firestick? I’m talking about the FireTV, which is a stand-alone box and yes it’s way better than the Pi 3, which I also have.

i use this external hdd. also for 4k video content.
got like 4tb ps4 content on it.
remember to format the hdd to exFAT, otherwise the ps4 cant read it.
fun feature: adds 2 additional usb ports to your ps4 :D



pro: massive storage


con: needs external power, not very handy

Would this be suitable for the ESP8266 mentioned?

EDIT: after some research, I found that this was recommended more.

they started making them again. With cuh-22xx. You can buy the cuh-21xxa discontinued one's on amazon here.

I then bought a portable seagate backup plus slim 2tb and swapped the hard drives

Just ordered the same, was it this one?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LRLJV28/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I scooped up a couple of these a few months ago for the exact same reason
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D5BRCWT/

Oh and a usb extender if you’ve got some distance to the console

Its a used machine.Ask the seller what version its on?
Heres this bundle ,costs $87 more though

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012UGC9F0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Do you think there's anything I need to watch out for with any of these eBay listings?

Or should I spend a little more and get this bundle brand new?

Chinese SSD are cheaper than hard disk.

Get some Sugru moldable glue and mold it around the charger port with the cord in it. Let it dry and you're set. Don't use a cheap cord in case it stops working correctly. Amazon

Just sell it and get a 5.05, if you're not playing online there's no reason to have two. And you can find a pro, just look for a new bundle, they're still out there.
