Peripheral manufacturer Nyko unveiled (http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/01/07/hands-on-nyko-data-bank) its upcoming Data Bank accessory at CES this week, promising users a cheap and easy way to upgrade their PlayStation 4's storage capacity using a standard 3.5-inch desktop computer hard drive.

A year into the console's lifespan, PlayStation 4 owners may find themselves running short of space on the platform's included 500GB hard drive. While the PS4's stock drive can be swapped out with a larger-capacity 2.5-inch hard drive intended for laptops, upgrading can prove costly, given the increased price of 2.5-inch drives compared to 3.5-inch models.

Nyko's Data Bank sits atop the PlayStation 4 after partially removing the console's casing, and draws on the PS4's AC adapter to power an attached 3.5-inch hard drive. Nyko tells IGN (http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/01/07/hands-on-nyko-data-bank) that it's aiming for a "$30-$40 price range" for the peripheral. Compatible hard drives are sold separately.
