QuoteThere is no release date for Nyko's Data Bank, however we have been informed it will be some time in Q2 2015. The good news is that it seems like Nyko wants to keep the device affordable, so it will probably cost around $40-50 when released.

The site shows 2 mockups/actual things.

I'm assuming it plugs in via USB.  There's no immediate hardware hack I could think of that would let it be read.

No USB. It's really just a sata and power extension device so that the hard drive can be outside the system.

if you look at the mock ups it's not using the hsb port.  looks like a replacement for that cover ps4 has that encases the harddrive.






...can't imagine sony will be happy about this but i'd consider buying it if it reviews well.

Actually surprised with how good it looks.  I think the back of it could be improved a bit though.
