Rias Gremory Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Just a question. Have you upgrade your HDD to a SSD? Because I seen a lot of people doing this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misshandlad Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Upgraded my Pro with an SSD, not regretting it for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowxSakura Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 An SSD will always be worth it if you can afford them. They are lightning fast compared to mechanical drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolat_GiddyUp Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) What are some good SSD that work well with a launch/regular PS4? Will that same SSD that works on the regular model, will it be compatible for a PS4 PRO? Edited February 13, 2020 by Bodyodorthegrave69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 From my understanding, it's kind of a waste to put an SSD into the PS4 because it can't take full advantage of the data transfer speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using the Samsung Evo 860 1TB and that works with both a base PS4 and a Pro, however you should be aware that a base ps4 wont get out as much of an SSD as a Pro will. Also i think its harder to install an SSD in a base PS4 compared to a pro where you only need to loosen like 6 screws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElrayMickaelius Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 it's definitely worth imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re correct in that the transfer speeds are largely going to be a bit capped on SSDs. But they will have a speed advantage in several scenarios. They also save on power usage and give off less heat while being less prone to jostling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the slim, but the base ps4 only has 5 screws for the hard drive, one holding the bay in place, and 4 holding the hard drive into the bay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I search at quite a few videos to look at loading times compare from HDD to SSD games and they look really impressive. I'm on a PS4 Pro and it won't damage anything. 4 hours ago, Undead Wolf said: From my understanding, it's kind of a waste to put an SSD into the PS4 because it can't take full advantage of the data transfer speed. I don't think so. It's better to upgrade a SSD to it only on a PS4 Pro to avoid any problems and besides doing that will cut down time on downloading games whatnot. If you have a PS4 2TB portable as a backup then yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess it's the same then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
