Can you store games on a hard drive?
HDDs and SSDs both work well for gaming. If the HDD has enough capacity to store your games (modern games range from 20GB up to 180GB for a single installation), and is fast enough to support the graphics, you shouldn't have troubles.

Can you put a 3tb hard drive in a ps4?
Top reviews from the United States. The hard drive was easy to install once I figured out what goes where. With the 3tb I have over a hundred (and counting) games installed in my PS4 for anytime use. The space you get with the 3 TB hard drive is amazing and it was not too dificult to install.
