Will a cheap SSD possibly damage my PS4 Pro? I've seen some really cheap ones

It's the interface causing the speed limits, not the drive in the case of an SSD. SATA III is limited to 600mbs. A typical m.2 2.5" will run 560mbs. Putting an nvme in a SATA III enclosure means you are limiting its potential to 600mbs instead of it's potential 3500mbs. Pointless experiment.

Good god! Its true! I wasnt wrong!

such amazing gameplay!

I had to check my alerts when I heard that Xbox bloop 😅

Ah demo discs :D I used to beg my mum for the Playstation magazine when we went shopping and used to have a bunch of demo discs. I remember the one with MGS1 on fondly

I'm using two external drives, one NVMe (SK Hynix Gold P31) and one SATA III (Samsung EVO 870) both in external enclosures, ofc. I would recommend getting SATA if it's cheaper which it usually is but if you can get an NVMe at a decent price there's no harm in using that either, though you won't really notice the difference from the SATA. I've noticed speeds for both top out at 2.8Gbps and average 2.5Gbps (350MB/s) likely due to the South bridge controller they're (still) using on the Series S. The reason I got the NVMe is because it was on sale on Prime Day for £29 for a 500GB and that's an amazing price for such a good drive, didn't work out any more expensive than a SATA since I paid same price for my 500GB EVO 870 and when I no longer need it any more for my Series S (when I get an expansion card in the future when the price drops a little) I can use it in my laptop and get the full potential or even in it's enclosure it can do 10Gbps with laptop but I'll probably upgrade my laptop with it. If you can get one at the same price I did and it's not more expensive than the same size SATA I might even say choose the NVMe over the SATA because it will probs have better TBW endurance. An you can always as I say use it to stick in a laptop and get the full power when you no longer need it. There is a silicon power NVMe right now on Amazon 500GB for £23 which is same price as SATA's and I tested that and even though it doesn't have DRAM it was very close to the Hynix P31 in performance and speeds didn't drop like they do with DRAM less SATA's since it's faster logical memory.

Don't know why the algorithm brought me here. But you have a relaxing voice! There are certain songs I hear that bring me back to great moments in gaming. I listen to the Metal Gear Solid soundtracks often. Bloodborne's orchestral and vocal tracks are fantastic as well.

Yeah those moments when you're just solving co-op without speaking. Absolute gold

I know this video is irrelevant now, since ps4 is old .. but if by the off chance you are looking to upgrade your ps4's ssd, do not follow this guy and put in a DRAM-less SSD inside your ps4.. DRAM less SATA ssds are fine for storage, but they are terrible for running an OS... even though in THEORY they should still beat out a hard drive, in the real world tests this is NOT the case. On PS4 for some reason these drives cause random issues in certain games, (example stuttering in spiderman), it really doesn't matter which one (sandisk ssd plus, crucial bx500, wd green, patriot p210, kingston a400, silicon power a58, team group Vulcan/whatever....etc), they all will exhibit these random stuttering and texture issues for certain games... However the good news is that you can use the drives externally on PS4 and on PS5, (through an exclosure ot sata to usb adapter), and because it doesn't need to run the OS or record gameplay in the background, the issues not appear. But on ps4/pro for the fastest possible load times you would still want to install a dram sata ssd (samsung evo, crucial mx, wd blue, sandisk ultra... etc) internally inside the console.

RB boys, RB 😂

And then I never used the eyeball again.

Really need help on this just f Wanna buy a ps4 pro but I would only play physical game copies like the disk but I want to ask if an ssd upgrade is worth it and if it would make a good difference in loading times? Haven’t owned a console before.

Pls what if I only play physical games would this upgrade make a difference?

I recently upgraded my ps4 pro with a Samsung Evo ssd and its really worth it. Faster load times and less texturer popin in games

I remember this, but the track Superman was the song in the background.

Hi which SSD brand and type is good for ps4 pro

Guy's a mass effect lover ♥️😁

on the ps4 sometimes store pages dont even open, Ugh

As much as i want to ssd my ps4 theres like 4 TB of games on it unfortunately 😅

Just upgraded my pro from 2TB HDD to 4TB SSD. I really wish I had done this YEARS AGO. Was having some graphics and crashing issues on the HDD. Cyberpunk was still having issues... SSD and Cyberpunk plays like a whole new game. All my games have crisper textures as well, and no more monthly defrag of an HDD.

I just set 2nd SSD as external storage and copied 1.2TB to it.. after a few swaps, ALL my PS4 1TB and 512GB USB were on the 2nd SSD.. Fitted a Samsung 3.84TB into PS4 Pro but HAD to use the FULL version of Firmware - Update version would NOT work. 10.01. Drive up and running so 2nd SSD copied everything back over. just had to pop onto PSN to restore licences but it saved downloading over 1TB again.. Worth the time doing the swap.. 2nd SSD is now in my laptop as system - 2TB and fast. Best drive swaps ever!!

but is there any difference on FPS?

Is the hard drive SAMSUNG 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Hard Drive good? I ordered it last week for my ps4 pro cause my ps4 was having problems

Thank you you are great

In the video, you're downloading the the PS4 Update File. The Update File won't work on a new hard drive without first installing the PS4 Console Reinstallation File. Not sure how you pulled that off.

Wow thank you ! Best X SSD review on youtube!

Can I use the external hard drive im using to back all my apps and gamemdata instead of a USB flash drive to install.the ps4.operating system?

I fitted a 1TB SSD to a Xbox One X, primarily because the hard drive failed. Being that I'd have to take the old one out before putting it all back together, it made sense to do it. Took the time to clean, change the thermal paste and generally refresh the console. Also fitted one to a One S, but that's because I wanted more internal space and I had a spare 2TB SSD hanging around from a client who wanted a upgrade for the laptop and then cancelled. Simple.

I used to have this, lol would like to know which songs were available to pic. Not that one play that one

Can you imagine if it just needs a flick of a switch and developers can use ssds with ps4's that's some 4D chess move

My PS3 has a Kingston UV400. But my PS4 PRO has a 1TB Samsung EVO 870 with DRAM!!!! It is only 10% slower at loading games than the PS5. LMAO!! The DRAM makes a difference.

Any risk of getting banned from Xbox Live? Out of all the tutorials and discussions on this topic, I have been unable to find a solid answer on this.

When you tested the External SSD, did you have the internal SSD installed or the internal HDD installed? I feel like there should be four tests total. An external SSD test for each internal drive, a test for the onboard SSD and a test for the Internal SSD. Did the internal SSD made the dashboard snappier? I'm wondering if it's worth replacing my Internal HDD for an Internal SSD.

Ps4 Pro and Xbox One X use Sata 3 Interface not Sata 2.

So cool how they got Steven fry for this. I love him and this game

Great test. I have all my games on an ext SSD and was wondering if I can get even better improvements with internal SSD. It turns out the diff is only 1-3 secs so I'm fine with that and won't bother.

I remember running out if time song during this demo

I got a Crucial BX500 1tb on my PS4 Slim, rendering textures, draw distance, faster starting loading, faster save loading, faster fast travel, the console doesn't get as hot as it used to, less noise, the PS4 system runs smoother, even though PS4 Slim does not use the full potential of an SSD I believe it's a good purchase for people who will not sell tgeir console when they get a next-gen one. In Valhalla the SSD improved greatly the game experience for me. In RDR2 Story and Online it's like another game. Well, this is my humble opinion.

The One X was made with an NVMe KeyM M.2 SSD in it. you can see on the motherboard that big honking KeyM NVM2 area where there is also an outlign for an M2. and it was a KeyM NVMe as far as I can tell. wirdly enough it is even populated with discrete of the shelf component for that NVMe, but Microsoft never fitted that M.2 socket. Microsoft likely dropped the NVMe in the last moment, and went for 5400RPM drives and sata3 controller as the NVMe drives would have elevated the cost a lot back in 2017 Have any tried to solder a M.2 socket in? could for the fun of it be interesting to see how it would act.. I haven't been three the schematics to see if there is an NVme controller chip lurking somewhere, btw that One X is a night and day in my testing native 5400rpm versus a cheap SSD. the One X screams for an SSD internally (max2TB) or externally. The system can tolerate 26TB SSD as far as I can tell. (2TB int + 3x 8TB ext)and the system is very dynamic with the storage as you can place mismatch games across it, so fx 20% of one game on one SSD and 20% in another and the last 60% on a third or fourth drive, in my testing with internal SSD /cheap 60USD 1TB Sata3 from CN, brand Netac/ my startup time to interface was 35sec. on fx Halo Infinite is takes 9 sec. to load the 4K HDR map of thee "Silent Auditorium" almost at the end of the campaign. (from progress bar to the gameplay) if somebody is on mechanical, pls share your time. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJl3oNh8rb--YHU.html

is upgrading the ps4 pro hdd to ssd safe

People saying this card is not worth the price are simply ignorant. This thing is an absolute beast and any equivalent SSD--such as upgrades that would be put into the PS5--would cost nearly the same if not more.

the Pro is so not . the BOTTLEKNECK is blaring in.the .face. the external doesnt stop TEXTURE POP IN. the internal drive is only 3-5 years of use maybe.

7:07 waited a LONG TIME to find out my ps5 was using a minimum speed ssd thats 1 T . 1 Gig of cache and only 0.30 total rewriteable ... and only 850,000 hrs of life . wow. PSN SONY you really did it TOO the loyal fans AND the new bees. WHY PAY FOR AN OLD SYSTEM COATED IN CHEAP PLASTIC and 1500 on AMAZON bc amazon ran out ? or the scalpers ARE amazon.... ahh....

I’m a little late to the SSD swap on my XBOX One X, but this video was very insightful. Thanks 👍

've just installed SSD and turns my PS4 PRO into a PS5. What an amazing console.

This didn't need a test lol. You could have just Googled the transfer speed of usb 3.0 and the internal memory is limited to sata3 transfer speeds.
