Did this back in December, such a noticable difference.

UPDATE: I've been playing my PS4 Pro for a few days since upgrading, and there are noticeable differences everywhere. From in-game menu loading/speed and world loading, to hitching and frame drops, and finally to the home screen responsiveness, this drive completely eliminates all of it. Very worth the $200. Plus, an extra 1TB of storage helps as well. I reccomend this upgrade!👍🤘😎

Just got my Samsung 870 QVO 2TB in the mail. Gonna upgrade my console since finding a PS5 is pretty much impossible right now.

An ssd upgrade also helped with a lot of rendering issues

[mkdragnos]

Thank you for helping me realize I was making the right move! I just bought a Samsung Evo SSD 2TB to upgrade the drive that's in my pro. You just confirmed my thoughts with exactly all the same games I'll be playing haha. You rock buddy!

I see you too are a man of culture

I bought the SSD 860 pro 2TB and to be honest that's the best thing I could've done with my ps4 pro... Incredibly fast

3:43 if you hear that you screwed up the thread of the screw.
Never use force to screw it in, just screw it out and realign the screw.
A very beginners fault.

I used this exact same SSD in a base model Xbox One, and it ran faster than my brother's One X, trust me, the 860 (now replaced by Samsung with the 870, which I just put in an Xbox one so my buddy could have an xbox) is a beast of an ssd.

[kounakdutta]

That setup reminded me of your older videos . 😍

[nesteaa]

I love how informative and natural your videos are. Keep it up!

Cool video! I got a PS4 slim in December 2019 (yes, very late, I know) and a week later I got a 2TB Samsung SSD (same as yours, but 2TB) and installed it. Took me about half an hour total from removing the original 1TB HDD and installing the ssd. My boot times are significantly quicker and my GTA V loading times are about halved. Overall having the 2TB was the best thing I could do since the PS4 only has two USB ports and I always keep a keyboard plugged in, and a charger for my controllers.
Admittedly I am worrying about the heat exposure for the SSD but after 5 months it runs just as solid as day one even though I play every day.
11/10 would recommend to anyone who can afford the price

you just saved me from buying 1 Tb PS4 I have a 2TB Samsung evo this is genius

[its_kaneki]

So I just was experiencing problems with the stock hard drive so I bought an SSD and my PS4 is back to normal but way better, your video helped alot Thank You

[NewmanOnGaming]

I did this 2 years ago.. it was the best thing I ever did for my PS4 Pro.

[charlesombiro]

i don't have a playstation so i satisfy myself with videos like this 😅

[WesleyBosvelt]

Haha, I liked this video because you called yourself a weirdo. 😂

And the video was very informative.

[lukedstaten]

I totally bought the 860 evo because of this video, thank you! and yes, it DEFINITELY helps.

[nikolazubo]

Thank you so much I’ve been investing in a hdd and never really knew the power of an ssd on the ps4.

[lars]

My ps4 pro was completely broken after a system update, but switching to a ssd fixed it!! It works great now! And while I do have less storage space, it operates so much smoother than before.

[jamesnemo]

Nice one - great instruction on the HDD removal! But what an expensive upgrade to make for very little time saved!
