I have a question, did you have trouble activating your new hard drive as the primary playstation? I ask because mine died too and I did not have a chance to deactivate my old system and I am about to get a new hard drive.

Indeed a very good video. I will be doing the same. I just got a sealed LE version Pro and after a few weeks it started freezing randomly, when games auto-save. Don´t know what else it could be than my hard drive dying... It´s also a Toshiba 1TB.

Thank you! Reporting full success replacing hard drive here :)

Thank you for a CLEAR DESCRIPTIVE tutorial. Some of these goons out here in youtube can't explain worth shit.

Thanks man I really appreciate the explanation of the whole process

Thanks for actually showing the process after installing the hard drive

Thanks Mark, I did the upgrade for my first ps4 and worked great. Now I have the ps4 pro and going to do the same update. Thank you

Thanks for this great, comprehensive series of PS4 Pro videos, Marc. I won't be purchasing one, but I imagine these will be very helpful for those that are.

Dude thanks so much i was worried my hardrive wouldnt fit but when i saw this video u had the same thanks so much

I followed the steps in your video today and it was a huge help, made it simple for me to follow and it worked great. Thank you

Old but good video, very informative, and to the point. Helped me a lot! :)

This helped for me, very simple and straight forward

Thank you for this step by step tutorial really simple to follow

Thank You! It is a very easy process to do.

Great video. Getting ready to upgrade my PS4 slim to a 2TB SSHD. This video will be very helpful

Excellent video. Explanation is super easy, Barney style.

Thanks for this video! I just installed a 2tb ssd inside my PS4 and it works perfectly!!

Glad your having good luck with the seagate Cuda cus I had 2 burnout on me in a couple months of installing these. Warranty is a major pain in the butt also.

thanks for your help..... went smoothly.

It works YAY! Thank you very much!

thx for making this video great job

And i bet now you have or are thinking of upgrading to the seagate firecuda 2tb sshd, im glad i waited.

a life saver. subscribed

Great video bro, thanks.

THANK YOU IT WORKS PERFECT!!

Thank you so much. this is incredibly helpfull. I'll be doing this within the next couple of days and this was just what I needed. I was curious if you have had any overheating issues with the system? my friend purchased the pro on release and experienced some very strange performance issues. randomly turning off and not turning back on again and extremely hot. he has now resorted to keeping a fan blowing on it to maintain temp.

Thanks I appreciate this video

Thanks for the info. Please can I replace the HD of the old one with the pro?

Ay first I was nervous installing the hardrive on my PS4 cause it didn’t reached the screw holes but I lift it up so I can put them on I did managed to put them on the hardrive just like you did in the video.

Thanks you so much! It's work :D!

Thanks for the video, i'm going to try this today. What is the name of that instrumental song, i like it!

Vilai Tupou was your ps4 not updating

I used this video alongside while I switched mine over. Can I just say, if you want to out your old hard drive (which is in use) from your old PS4, directly into your new pro after you've done a back up, you can do it and it will wipe it and start a fresh without having to format it first. I struggled to find this info online and just had to try an and hope for the best but it worked no problems. Cheers.

You should use a small cup so you don't loose your screws! Just a word of caution to anyone doing this for themselves.

Nice drive. I bought for my secondary internal hardrive on my laptop and I'm very happy with huge amount of storage. I suggest you to get firecuda for boot drive for your PS4 because it helps boot faster. But barracuda is cheaper if you want to save a little bit of your money

Thanks man

Helpfully

so weird I was just watching how to replace ps4 hard drive from your channel the step by step one

Forget the Barracuda as in this video, instead go with the Firecuda (SSHD - SSD Hybrid Drive) which is only slightly more expensive than the Barracuda but gives you the speed and performance closer to and only slightly slower than an SSD giving you really the best of both worlds -- pricing closer to regular hard drives with performance closer to full SSDs.

​@Chopan8809 Solid State Drive. Granted your comment was in 2019 so I'm assuming you finally figures that whole nutshell 😅

If i do the Hard disk upgrade can i still have my games and my progress and updates??? Plz answer

This looks very easy to do

Thank u so much

Very good

Hey Marc, great video. I just installed my FireCuda and now realize that you installed a Barracuda, so you might not be able to help me with this. But i was wondering, should i boot my applications from the new drive to see performance enhancements (in my case SSHD perks) or is booting games from the old HDD which is now my external negating any enhancements? I just did a load test for a game by timing 6 diff startups. It actually got slower every time. If anyone could help, that'd be great.

Would I see any considerable improvements if I used this same 2tb HDD on my original PS4?

great video. I recently upgraded mine with a 2tb hdd, Seagate. question: what kind of camera did you use to record this video? I haven't seen this clarity on a KZread video before :/

Thank you!!!!

True i copped 2 of these for me and my cuzz. I will get an ssd when its cheaper

Great vid which drive is better a HDD or SHDD? cheers

Thanks 👍

If the software is already installed on hdd will i need to reinstall it onto a new console?

Thanks m8, i bought same hard drive 2T 😀

I'm about to do this for my ps4 pro and wanted to know can I use the files on the USB drive that I used previously for the ps4 upgrade. Is the firmware the same?

Great video but just one question. If I get the 4tb hard drive that is 2.5''' it'll be able to work still yeah?

One question, I switched to normal hard drive to the firecuda 2tb on a normal ps4.everything works fine but is it normal that I can hear a lot of ticking noises?

Thanks

can you do a video of you taking a ps4 hard drive and putting it into the ps4 pro

Thanks for uploading this, very educational and helpful.

can't get the crew out any advice.. it's like sony crewed it down with the incredible hulk or something

Just bought a 2tb barracuda sshd for £85 on amazon, sshd can produce speeds close to ssd with out the killer price tag

USB Drive should be fat32 format

##### URGENT QUESTION PLEASE #### Awesome video and was so helpful and full of great info. Question: You stated that the max thickness for the replacement hard drive is 9.5mm. The link you gave for the 4TB hard drive is actually 15mm. Will it work or do I disregard and use the 2TB hard drive only?

شكراً لك لقد قمت بإتباع الطريقه وكانت ناجحة

I recently upgraded my ps4 to a 2tb hard drive and I was wondering if it's normal for the hard drive to be so loud when it's reading data. The hard drive I used was the same one used in the video.

Do you have a xbox hard drive upgrade video ???

Thanks for the vid. Im upgrading to a 2tb samsung 870 ssd. 180$

Probably should of gone with the very slightly more expensive Seagate SSHD FireCuda; Solid State Hybrid Drive. It's the same 2TB drive you installed, just with an integrated 8GB SSD portion as a Tier 2 cache, on top of the normal 128MB of Tier 1 cache. Which is way better than the 8MB cache on the normal 500GB/1TB drives that usually come with the PS4.

After we have downloaded the firmware the the console, are we able to unplug the flash drive? Or must it be plugged in at all times?

Thought it automatically adds the firmware ? I changed out my old ps4 HDD and that did it by itself

I have the same hard drive. Does this hard drive already on fat32 format or do I need to format it first before swapping? Thanks.

How do you backup all the save game files?

Could you please tell me how can i copy my ps4 dvd games in internal drive not in external or usb. Please

How would you update this? What's a recommended 3+tb drive?

Careful. Im now on my second second seagate 2tb for my pro. They dont seem to be very resilient.

could you install more than just a 2 TB? like a 3 or 4 if they make them? Like whats the most you can install? and what else can you change or can you only change the hard drive?

I just did this hard drive upgrade last night with a brand new white PS4 Pro. The main problem I had was that the stock 1 TB that comes with the white PS4 Pro is slightly thicker & bigger compared to the Seagate FireCuda Gaming SSHD 2TB. I could not easily slide in and align the Seagate FireCuda Gaming SSHD 2TB with the PS4 hard drive metal housing unit. I had to hold and modify if it to fit and hold right right to sit in the hard drive housing unit. I still managed to get it installed and my white PS4 Pro unit is working.

Marc Wilson Both. This will increase your storage capacity and with a faster drive you can boot up games much faster.

I’m confused hat where you doing when you went on the computer

When changing hard drive do you have to update file using usb or can I just go to safe mode and press update software

Hi is it possible to upgrade internal memory of pro more than 2 TB?

Can I do this to a brand new ps4 pro or do I haft to create my account on it before changing the hard drive ???

do you have to do the same process with an external hard drive

Can you play new games when you're space is full? Or is the system useless when it's full? Just wondering

I want to updqte the hard drive, but what if I wanted to transfer all my storage?

what is that metal cover that you screw the hard drive into? i need to get one but dont know the name

Question: What if your replacing your old PS4 PRO 1TB H/DRIVE into a pre owned PS4 PRO CONSOLE? Do you need to go thru the whole process of downloading the firmware etc?

YOU'RE THE BEST!! THANK YOU
