I can't tell you how much I appreciate this channel. Someone going out of their way to share info. No prolonged intro, no cringe worthy attempt at comedy, just straight to the point from beginning to end. RU-vid exists for channels like this.
I know this vid was 3 years ago, i might clear up the concerns of some who might come to this vid later. I did exactly what the video was told with my ps4 pro, i have it for 7 years now and this is the first time i defrag it, and after that its smooth as butter, hiccups are gone, fast as day one. No game saves nor data was gone. Definitely worth it. 👍
I owned a few variations of the PS3. the slim would take about 8 to 12 hours to DOA format, while the rebuild database was always less then 20 seconds. I owned 2 super slims and the first would do complete format in under 10 mins, 500gb btw and rebuild also a few seconds. while the second one would format 500gb drive in under 5min but rebuild database would take about 10 to 20 minutes. tried these all with content and cleaned HDs and multiple times. I honestly can't figure out why the massive differences. all I can guess is that it's maybe the quality of the hardware used, maybe some models have not the greatest ram or GPUs etc. anyway just wanted to drop that.
To those reading wanting an actual outcome, I did it, it worked, took about 2-3 minutes for me, and everything is exactly how I left it except an optimised layout change ps seems to be working at an optimised rate too 👍🏽🤙🏽
@@remiporche7176 I was just on a game page on FB and someone was having trouble connecting to their online game and they would always have the alert notification pop up and she can only play for about 5 minutes if she connected and someone told her to clear her cashe. I'm having similar problems but my wifi sucks so I thought maybe the wifi was the problem
Just to let people know, I have done this and I have not lost any data at all. All my game data is still normal, capture gallery and friends list. If your controller isn't connecting and just flashes then you need a different USB wire. If you have an amazon fire stick, the wire that comes with it transmits data so it'll work perfectly fine. If you do not have a fire stick then you have to find a USB wire that transmits data and not only power.
@@bleach393 Oh, I'm sorry your highness... Did you actually listen to what is said in the video? He explicitly instructs people to keep holding the power button until the setup screen shows up. I was merely trying to help. FFS!
@@cyguy9062 apparently it's a good idea to do that too, with some compressed air while holding it so it doesnt get damaged, I've had my ps4 since 2015 so it needs done soon, now that there could be a console delay 😭
MUCH respect to you sir this really helped alot! I though my pro was just done with. I only had it for a year and this set it straight thank you!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Wow I legit thought this was gonna be clickbait but it's just really good advice. Even the thumbnail is relevant to the video. Thanks for the great video man!
No going to lie, I was about a minute and 10 seconds into the video and I started to think this is a troll guide the way you kept mentioning the power button lol but a quick glance at your like ratio put me at ease hehe.
Don't always trust the like ratio. I've seen troll videos where there were more likes than dislikes and almost all the comments were also trolls pretending like the guide was legit.
I'm literally shooked So I added this video to my playlists a year ago, so When I have a ps 4, I'd watch this incase. Now I have a ps4 a few months ago. Then just didn't have any fun so I costumized my RU-vid playlists, then Saw this vid and managed to fix a problem, thanks man. I could remember my past working hard for money XD
I couldn’t get it to work no matter how hard I tried for a while. This method was different than how I was doing it. The ps4 launched and is good to go. Thank you for your help
I did this and I THINK it improved the performance of my PS4. Some improvement regarding the home menu for example. One downside though: although it didn’t delete my games, whatever was not in a folder was taken away and put into the library. So if you don’t want that to happen, sort your games into folders (or even put them in one big one) before doing this. It resets the home menu bar, which is kind of annoying but in balance to improved performance is just a niggle for me.
FML, I needed this years ago and only found out about it last month, and NOW this pops up in my recommended. Why does this always happen to me? It's like my timing is really not in sync with the universe 😭
SikFlix Maybe it is but you just don’t realise it yet, you often don’t always get it when you want it you get it when you need it and now you need it ^\^ be happy as you have it now ^_^
I've never seen a video that tells you to get an Xbox it's always the other way around.. It's always get a PC and a PS4 since you can play Xbox exclusives on a PC anyways.
I was wondering the exact same thing. Although, the human race is and always will be confusing, messed up and will have us continue to question literally anybody’s life choices.
5min to 2hrs might be for normal hard drives or SSHHD ones. If it's a solid state hard drive, it probably does the rebuild significantly faster than the generic time frame given.
I was always afraid to do that and in 5 years I didn't do it, but today I decided and it went perfectly. in 3 minutes. Now my console is running much faster and I haven't lost any of the data. Thanks man!👌👍
@@m3lod552 sounds like a sad but great story at least the PS4 is now free to roam the universe, oops sorry I think I believed your story a bit too much 😂
It improves overall performance as well as cleans any Viral programs the console may have picked up on the net! Update 7.50 is a SoB so keeping a Clean CPU is a good thing.
@@hulktatt you need to clean the fan and cooling radiator on your ps4. it gets clogged and the fan has to constantly run due to the heat being unable to dissapate.
If you have the cuh-7000, 7015b, 7016b models of the pro it being loud is actually pretty normal it can get as loud as 55dbs clean fans or not, thermal paste isn't so much a problem on consoles either, but if you have the cuh-7200 models the one with the different power cable they are quieter if that's being loud maybe a clean is needed or a new location, alot of people changed thermal paste on the older models thinking it was getting too hot but it was just the model itself you'll know if it's too hot you'll get a blue screen telling you so if not it's running within it's safe parameters same with xbox they are designed with the sole purpose of gaming heat long hours and all that
Mr. Glasscock: “Don’t worry this isn’t going to delete any games or any saved data you have.” *Presses Rebuild DataBase* Mr. Glasscock: *Nervous Laughter*
I know right! I was mind blown I w Always Defrag my computers regularly didn't know it was even a feature on the ps4 and I've had it for almost 4 yrs lol
Most definitely like I said n I've had it for about 4 years since the 500gb slim was released/uncharted 4 bundle. It cleared up almost 100gb of crap off of it and the load times seem much quicker even download times it seems. If you paired this process with a solid state drive on a ps4pro you could have much faster load times
@@adlay4181 spending 18-50 years of your life working like a slave to the government to provide for your family when at ANY GIVEN MOMENT your wife can take the kids and divorce you. And to make sure she doesn't do that you have no choice BUT to simp so she doesn't leave. Funny how its the women's word against yours.
Just be warned, all your folders will be erased but not your games, so if you had them all organised you will probably have to redo your folders again. Then some of the games you forgot about will automatically install updates, which is a bonus in a way, but can take a long time if you have a lot of games on an external hard drive like myself
@@madpandabrigade9735 iirc everything actually was as I had it before trying this, including my folders/settings. Not sure why OP said they would be deleted though. Perhaps results vary with each model.
I thought the PS3 vs Xbox 360 was so corny when I was a kid. Now that I am older seeing them same people argue is just...🤔 well disappointing I guess. Y'all reppin a console like it's ur hood😂 Tbh I wish we all had pcs cuz crossplay broke asf
