- If you want to upgrade and speed up your ps4 loading times in half, the best solution is to replace the slow hard drive for a faster one. I found a hybrid drive which is half a combination of an ssd and a hard drive.

This smart hard drive over time it will learn which games you play the most and would load those games a lot faster than before.
The best thing about this sshd is that is very affordable if you compare it to a full ssd which can cost even more than the ps4 itself.
In this very easy follow tutorial you will learn how to replace the hard drive, reinstall the ps4 operating system (OS), and on top of that how to use your old slow hard drive into a portable storage device.
After following all the instructions you will end up with 3TB of storage, which is plenty of space for most people even if you have a large library of games.

Great video my friend
Yo bro I’m about to buy it today, because my PS4 pro is having problems because my games keep saying error, game pictures isn’t fully loading & games kicks me out & having problem with my PS4 controller or sometimes my PS4 pro won’t turn on
Great video bro. I noticed you didn't set the install application as the new firecuda drive. But when testing my new firecuda today, i noticed no improvements in load times. So i assumed i had to boot the games straight from the internal. Just to confirm, you're seeing these boosts while booting your games from the external drive, correct? Cause now i'm in the process of moving everything over to the internal to see the enhancements. This is driving me crazyyyy...
Linteria how’d it go?
You will see improvements after running the game a couple of times, doesn't matter if it is installed internally or externally. The first time booting a game will load a regular speed
I agree with you the sshd is a good all around hard drive. It offers good balance of speed, capacity, and better price. I really don't like the hdd because it has slower speed and it way too long.
Nice
i know this video is old but do you still recommend to do this on my ps4? is the Seagate FireCuda Gaming Hybrid SSHD 2TB still the best option out there for $80?
Yes I still recommend it, however you don't necessary have to get the FireCuda hard drive, any hybrid SSHD would do just fine and you will notice the difference.
Recently around three weeks ago my ps4 has been acting up, and I've tried everything to fix it. I've come to the conclusion to get a new hdd, and I'm looking into the firecuda- I'm still a little worried about a few things, I'm not planning to get any external storage, would that change things for me? I just dont want my ps4 to be slow, crashing and freezing anymore either way this video helped out :)
Even if you don't get an external drive you can still replace the internal hard drive if you're 100% sure that it is giving you problems.
Ps2 is the ultimate if they make this again I buy but is it just Seagate I thought Samsung has one or WD black
Unfortunately, the 2 TB version is at 200 usd at the moment.
1 TB still costs around 56.
Do you recommend me to buy seagate new ps4 game drive? It's an external hdd...also it come to 2tb
Yeah pretty much any hard drive will work just fine
I still have a working ps3 this is a good idea to upgrade it from 250GB to 1TB
I just upgraded my 120 gb ps3 to a 500gb ssd.. load times have gotten SO much better
Absolutely
Hi. Is seagate barracuda a good hdd for PS4 Pro?
The SeaGate FireCuda is better + it's in pretty much same price range [T]// but the BarraCuda is ok for the Ps4.
I have frame drops in some games, like the division 2. Would you think a new harddrive boost my performance?
Unfortunately no, faster hard drives only boost loading times, not frame-rate, perhaps you need to upgrade to a PS4 Pro or a gaming PC
Do you mean like little freezes in your games than it’s because of your 5200 rpm on your hdd I doubt it’s frame drops so I think that’s why
Qual até comprar para o ps4
I have ps4 slim I don’t know what to buy
Yeah I got blue light of death because of my stupid hdd so now I’m getting a SSHD 7200 rpm is was considering a 240 go ssd cause I’ll probably only be playing 2k or something but I don’t know can some1 help me decide
If you buy an ssd your PS4 won't take full advantage of the speed it offers, so I would recommend to buy a regular hard drive or a SSHD
Why don't u make a vdeo of how to install win10 latest version 1909 by a pen drive. I urgently need it. My installation has got stuck in network. Computer demsnds for a network connction though i have a optical fiber broadbnd but it install with the limited setup. How could i install the full ver?
Plz say it early. I am from india.
Yes I will make a video about that very soon.
I’ve heard arguments that using the internals won’t net you any extra speed boosts due to the internal being sata 2 versus the external using USB 3.0
Is this true? Will using the firecuda give faster speeds over time?
The PS4 Pro comes with sata 3 but yes as I showed in the video you get around 50% faster loading times.
Do not use the firecuda, I bought one brand new in November and it failed on me today. I can't even boot into safe mode. I bought a western digital hhd to replace it, hopefully it works out
@PlayyaKyran Z the wd card works great, no issues. Seagate sent me a replacement but I'm too scared to use it due to others saying that the went through 3 replacements. Side note, I beat 3 games on the firecuda before it burned out and none of the data was loaded to the cloud for some reason so now I have to do it all over again. Everything from my first hard drive was still there However
@PlayyaKyran Z western digital 2tb hard drive 2.5 inches. There's hardly a difference in speed vs the firecuda
@PlayyaKyran Z not sure about that one, I never looked into it
the internal HDD when you use it for external and it ask you to format do you lose your games?
I believe so. Before accepting to format the external drive the system warns you that all contents on that drive will be deleted. Try pausing the video at the exact moment when he is formatting the external HDD to see the exact message. Also before replacing the old HDD i would recommend backing up your PS4 save data first. If you have a Playstation Plus account you have the option to back up your save data to the cloud. If you do not have one you will need a separate USB drive. Make sure it is empty as the PS4 might have to format the drive before you can use it. which will erase the contents.There are many guides online that give you instructions on how to go about this process, just search something like (how to backup PS4 save data) or something along those lines and you can find more info that way.
thanks
@@user-sz6hk1nv3o No problem. Also there is a video on youtube titled( How to replace PS4 hard drive without losing data) which explains it really well.
Yes you will lose all your games and everything saved on that drive. Make sure to backup your saved game files.
What do you think of the fontom drive 2tb 7200rpm
