I always recommend people do these also for their PS4, and now (if lucky enough to have one), the PS5. A number of people used to think I was making it up, in particular clearing the cache. But even just doing that they saw the boost in performance. Doing these 2 steps, along with at least a quick dusting once a month should keep your PS4/PS5 running at or at least near its best potential.

Moving your games to an external USB SSD will work wonders too, I suggest that over replacing the internal one if you plan to upgrade to PS5 later. This will save you a LOT of time as you can connect the same external drive to the PS5 and play all the games off it without having to redownload or transfer the game files from the old console.

This also applies to the PS3 in case anyone still uses that console but it's important to know that neither the PS3 or PS4 will take full advantage of an SSD upgrade since they use SATA II, only the PS4 Pro model uses SATA III interface which is strange but it's the only one that can take full advantage of an SSD upgrade.

Hey John, I would have thought you’d do a video or at least comment on the spammers/scammers who were posing as you and causing posts to disappear (either by wrongly reporting them as spam or deleting them). Cheers for the reminder to do this. Even though most firmware updates do a DB rebuild, clearing the cache always helps speed up the UI. Sadly, it doesn’t stop poorly optimised games from making the PS4/PS4 Pro work harder/run hotter & noisier though.

Thank you John You are a treasure

Great, great video! I have a PS4 Pro with an upgraded SSD. Bit I still sometimes have this issue

You should first delete all pics, videos, unused game and save data. Then delete all notifications. Then clear the cache. Then rebuild the database. This way it streamlines everything rebuilt and defrags the HDD.

While this information is accurate in it's "how to" aspect, you shouldn't need to rebuild the database every month. In fact, every time you rebuild the database, there is a chance it won't succeed and will be left with no option but to format and start over (if it encounters an unfixable error). Only rebuild the database if there is an actual issue, it's not good advice to use this as preventative maintenance every month. If you are constantly rebuilding the db over an issue, that probably means your drive is on the way out and you should consider replacing it with either another HDD or an SSD.

Thanks for the tips...

I love watching these videos, even though I have sold my ps4 years ago.

I have a question: when I save a video clip of my gameplay, there's a 3 second time skip that occurs frequently and don't know how to fix that. It ruins crucial moments of a great gameplay survival or being lucky. Is there a solution to this?

3 seconds is the exact time it takes for a notification to pop up and then disappear, it's probably that

Do we need to be careful after rebuilding database ? Does rebuilding delete our profile features or DNS we put in because if it does some people might actually update their JB ps4s after doing this and it would be good to learn if it does or not.

Does picking up a Terabyte external count the same as the SD upgrade.?, I mean my PS4 has worked better since. Also great subject matter to address.., where any advice is useful.

Yeah upgraded my hard drive to 1TB after my old one finally kicked the bucket some time ago. 👍🏽 I’ll eventually upgrade to the newer console in the future.

It would be nice to get recommendations on which ssd drives to look into. I actually thought you were going to give a link 😅

Right to the point, like all day.

I remember I was having a few times where my console would randomly turn off and the connector to the console would come loose out of nowhere. I’ve had my PS4 Slim for 5 years and I decided to go with getting a replacement cord, actually turned out that was the problem and it’s been fine ever since. If anyone else has similar problems, it’s most likely just a cheap fix like a new cord and that should fix that issue, very minor and power cords out there are under $10
