cold war zombies been unplayable for me in the ps4 because frames are always an issue, you think this would help? Even war zone while dropping the world is still loading and the landscape looks blurry-ish maybe they meant for pc

Same breh

I can now get the same ssd that you did for $150. Months later would you say it’s worth it? My biggest peeve with my PS4 Pro hdd is my pc friends always load into S&D cod matches before I do.

I have an issue with mine. It’s not reading my usb :/

@@cristopherlopez4933is it a USB 3.0 ?, I am doing this and one thing I found out is that the PS4 Pro has 2 USB 3.0's in the front and a 2.0 in the back. Same goes for an external hard drive. Just make sure that if you're plugging in to the front, whatever it is; it needs to be 3.0 if its in the front, and it needs to be 2.0 or higher in the back. I had the same issue BTW

Will be doing mine soon. Ps4 Pro White Glacier

Royal Dragon an XPG 8200 or a WD SN750 is good. They’re a little on the expensive side but are worth it. Maybe consider Silicon Power A80.

Keep in mind that it needs to be ps4 pro. A regular ps4 users goes from sata, to USB bus, then back to sata. That USB bus is so slow that there will be 0 improvement in an ssd upgrade. It MUST be a ps4 PRO.

@@Zerossoul so if i change,my hdd to ssd nothing changes in ps4 slim?

@@hheboi2567 yep

Regular PS4 and I assumer PS4 SLIM as well use SATA II speeds aka 3Gb/sec. PS4 Pro uses SATA III aka 6Gb/sec.

Im Ulgrading My New PS4 Pro cant wait Faster Load times and Faster Graphic Load times

You are not the only one i just bought my ps4 pro in Feb

Your SSD still running?

@@PlayshotKalo I use it daily and it runs 100%. I always leave about 0.5TB available on it so the SSD can di its thing and rewrite data from bad cells or whatever, but 3 years down now and it runs just fine.

@@aerodynamicist4 hey thanks for the detailed response. Good to hear, setting up mine rn

i say this all the time ahaha me and my friends will be waiting for a match of halo infinite to load in (i have a series x and they have good gaming pc's) and we will type into chat after two minuets of loading saying "whos on the og xbox one"

I was suddenly thinking, did you do a rebuild of your database before measuring the load times? I did that with my ps4 and it also saved me some loading times.

I just found this video looking for upgrade instructions. I already purchased the Western Digital 2TB WD Blue 3D NAND Internal PC SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm Hope I get as good of results. I needed 2TB for PS4. But I did upgrade my ASUS ROG notebook to a Samsung 250GB Evo as BOOT drive, saving the HD as a storage drive. The Win 8 boot times were almost instantaneous. SSDs rock!! so far 😉

OMG, Now I too am glad that I found this video. I decided to lookup some benchmarks between 860 EVO and WD Blue. OMG! 860 is 34% faster??? Even luckier for me, I didn't crack the box on the WD yet! It's going BACK! Plus, because I'm a year behind everyone else, the new QVO 870 is out for $10 less than the WD AND it's only 1% slower than the EV 860! Bonus! Thanks for the upgrades Samsung!

It adds up a lot over time though. Kind of a waste of 100 bucks but if you play a lot its pretty nice.

I have never heard of Micron how are their products? I got the 2TB version of what he installed and it was $189.99 during a December sale (MSRP $229.99 I believe)

@@aerodynamicist4 damn, I paid $469 for that 1tb in 2017 lol

It’s a sister partner of crucial

how does it work for you? I almost bought that one instead except some of the reviews said it gave out anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months, went with the Samsung instead

Ya hard drives don't really produce much heat it might make it run hotter if it can do more not waiting on the hard drive

also ZERO spinning disk noise - that was something my friend I installed an SSD in his ps4 noticed immediately - the only noise you hear when under load is the incredibly obnoxious 'jet fan' as I like to call it lol

was probably a hard drive problem

@@pr1vv.008 deffo was

Do you remember which update version messed up you PlayStation for me it was 10.00

Agreed. It's so stupid that Microsoft only allows users to upgrade their controllers to a rechargeable battery pack BUT NOT officially allow users to upgrade their internal storage (IT CAN be done actually if you know how to use cloning software to clone HDD data to a SSD).

Hows the performance

@@theprolynx13still good

U can buy a 250/500gb one

@@joshuarkristof80 That's console mentality. MORE SPEED

@@joshuarkristof80 tbh i was getting annoyed by starwars fallen order, because of the load times, i don't think it was even 20 seconds i gained when i got my ssd, but it definitely made the game feel smoother every damn time i die. Lol

Junior I about to receive a 2tb QVO myself in the mail

I put a 512Gb SSD into my 1st Gen PS4 from the get go because I knew how slow HDD are compared to SSDs. Playing FF14 online was awesome, Load times for sure were faster than some of the others playing online. Had a 120Gb SSD on my super slim PS3 but that only helps in certain ways, still, HDDs should be more for storage(old tech now), SSDs more for reading/writing/speed & other efficiencies/improvements that help so much.

@Naoto it WAS so expensive and if i saw no speed benefit, i def woulda took it out and put in one of my PCs but thats not the case. So not wasteful i feel

I'm having the same problem. Did it fix it?

@@DeathWolfSaint yes it worked better than ever. You buy?

Your doubly smart because the With the PS4 pro hardware setup you won’t see any difference from the QVO drive and the normal 860

Eric Hall is that really so?

Droid Motorola 388 lmk if you find out the load time for it please.

@@gabrieldallasta2545 Using a PS4 Pro with boost mode on an external 1TB Barracuda 7200rpm I got a time of 1min 39 from pressing X to launch the game to me seeing franklyn in story mode and being able to run around. Moved GTA V back to my internal drive and got a load time of 2min. So even with a faster external hard drive it speeds up a bit! Going to get this 860 EVO soon

H. E. M. Yep! I still play! Just goofing around and all the random stuff happenings makes it fun everyday

Are ssd not better for the pro?

So as for the external. It will still go faster because the internal SDD is installed?

All ur ps4 games can transfer to ps5 as well

@@reterumstrict1091 Idk about the pc one....but you do get a lot of free playstation exclusives on the ps5

@Follow the howl I was guesstimating. I didn't benchmark but I found the times to be much quicker in many games. The process of doing it is easy and it helps greatly with load times. PS5 doesn't look like it's going to be available anytime soon so may as well make the best of it! Now if I could just fix my loud ass fan.

Did you need to format the SSD prior to installing it in the ps4?

I feel at this time (PS5 release upcoming) It does not make sense to buy a huge 2TB one for the sole purpose of putting it in to a PS4. Here is what I did: I had a 250GB 850 EVO SSD laying around. Thats what i put into my PS4 Pro and were I installed the Playstation Firmware + a few games. The boost in perfomance IS indeed significant and really impressed me. Playstation menu e.g. is much smoother. The 1TB Playstation HDD i then used as an external drive.

Isn’t it worse for downloaded games on ps3?

Thanks for this man. My PS4 PRO sound like a jet engine, would switching to ssd fix this issue?

@@ZLFT not really. Clean your fans , it should helpp

@@shaqthegr8884 thing is I have like 4 times it still sounded like a jet. I ended up getting a ps5 and still plan on installing a SSD.

@@ZLFT Apply a better thermal paste than generic ones. My PS4 slim still sounded like a jet even after recently cleaned so I bought a better thermal paste and it didn't sound loud anymore.

@@silenthero2795 I did this too to no avail; worked for another old ps4 though.

Yes the whole ps4 operating system will be snappier

does someone know if it will run cooler with a ssd ?

@@stille_ storage has no affiliation with temps

We just revived a PS4 Slim from its slow ass HDD. Let’s just say, the SSD shocked both me and my buddy on how fast it ate through a completely new OS from the USB.

the biggest bottleneck is the horrendously slow hard drive within the PS4 console. That's why even just putting games on an external mechanical hard drive will load them faster, because even USB 2.0 speeds will load faster than the internal drive.

Evo is better qvo has bad speeds

i actually called Samsung before upgrading. i needed to know the difference. in short, the EVO is geared for read & write. the QVO is geared for storage.

How fast is it with gta 5

Yeah Lmk

Please can you test GTA V. From pressing X to launch the game to being able to run around in story mode thanks

...do you see a benefit?

@@BlkMac360 😂😂 yea wouldn't really be worth it

@@zyawillis8040 it's amazing since the SSD in PS3 acts as virtual ram, and even better if the SSD has a large RAM cache in the memory controller, smooths out frames and load times.

@@Uruz7Laevatein yea but your better off putting it in the ps4 or xbox 1

Get a PS4.. your living under a rock.

Right wtf man I can't believe I'm just finding out about this 😥

The reason for that is the lack of TRIM support. By overprovisioning with a larger drive you go longer before hitting write slow downs from write amplification and trimming. Many claim "modern SSDs have garbage collection" yes they do, but if they aren't filesystem aware they won't know what is garbage. It's a bit like having the ability to defragment, but never using it

And the ps4 is still a beast of a console, until more ps5 games come out then it’ll be 100% worth it imo

When you format the USB (Make sure it has nothing important on it, because it will be erased) make sure to format it with FAT32. Also You need to create two folders in all caps. Then you need to place the update file that you download into the correct folder. It's not too bad to do. If you want to backup and restore your saved games and data then you need an additional external USB drive with enough storage. You can do the backup under settings, then restore when you have the new hard drive installed with the new operating system.

Is this a joke? Not trying to be mean, but I just saw a lot of mistakes like ubs, sss, hhd, and what you said about transferring info to the other.

Bigdaddy Watt yes you need the big file at the bottom of there website

Yes and No, you could have slow loadtimes till PS5 comes out or you can have faster load times now lol I guess something to last you a while... You don't have to get a Samsung 860. 1TB is cheap nowadays. I sold my 960GB Toshiba drive to a friend and he put it in his PS4 Pro just fine, I sold it to him for $50 lol but besides the point, you can use any brand SSD, it doesnt have to be Samsung if you're concerned about price.

@@Specialist7 No & no Although a ssd will work in a ps4, The ps4 doesn't have the capability to benefit from the faster read/write speeds of a ssd Btw my ps4 pro has an 860 1tb Samsung SSD inside atm

@Lina Morgana They wont be using SATA SSD but both the PS5 and Series X will be using NVME SSD so much more speed and bandwidth than regular so while like all computer parts will have revision, spec-wise it's pretty beefed up so it'll all depend on the software from here on out.

@@outlawgmr Even if you're going SATA 2 vs SATA 3, going from HDD 5400/7200rpm to SSD will make a good difference. Check this video and others as well as reviews online of countless users shaving off a good amount of time off their loadtimes. It will also depend on the game as some games have their loadtimes embedded onto the loading screen as previous generation consoles have shown when replaced with SSDs. Not only does SSD reduces load times but it also reduces some noise and heat. Even some SSHD shows some benefits over a regular HDD as once loaded a few times on cache it will load a little bit faster. Now PS5 may be a different story as it will use NVME SSD as opposed to SATA SSD and then once developers stop hard coding loadtimes onto loading screens then it can load as fast as PC games #pcmasterrace but if you're not seeing the benefit of an SSD over an HDD on your PS4 then thats unfortunate. So to answer the previous question, is there much point when the PS5 is around the corner? Yes for better load times and enjoying your games faster. If its going to cost you an arm and a leg then no, its best to save up for the PS5 when it comes end of the year? also expect it to be priced slightly higher than last gens MSRP as the specs are slightly beefier... well.. by beefier the performance should be like last years AMD Zen 2 and NVME pushed by PCIE4, should be interesting though.

@@Specialist7 Not one single person having an ssd in thier ps4 including the Pro has faster load times including those like myself who have games installed on said ssd Faster startup, sleep etc perhaps but still not worth it

Did you figure it out? Im also stuck in the same part

@@oneshotkill5204 nah man I decided not to do it...just gonna wait for next gen to come out

Unless your planning on having over 30 games and apps installed on your ps pro at once I wouldnt advise getting a 4tb

Keep games on external ssd because you won’t have to reload them if something happened to the console

Yes, your hard drive is failing

try booting up in safe mode and rebuilding database. turn it completely off. press and hold the power button until you hear the 2nd beep. hardwire your controller and go to the 4th option I believe. rebuild data base might say it’ll take 3hrs but it’s usually a few minutes or so. that’s how long mine took on a ps4 with stock HDD. it sped up my ps4 by quite a bit. I recommend doing it at least once a week. hope it helps

I dont see why not just the resolution will be at 1080p

@@jaco5five6six The pro has a different sata bus then the slim, the first two ps4 have slower hardware and won't have transfer speeds as fast as the pro. Look it up.

Yes, it's safe and worth doing since it can cost less than $60 these days to get a new HD and reload the software. You can use an external HD to backup or if you pay for the plus you can just make sure all your saves are uploaded.
