this video was so informative! thank you so much, ive successfully installed a new 2tb Seagate Barracuda after my stock PS4 Pro Toshiba 1tb harddrive died unexpectedly after only 1 year of use!!

@jonathancampos8715 3 года назад

Same! Got this Barracuda 2TB Too!

@blessedchimbgha1622 2 года назад

Same here. Just updated from the stork 1TB to a 2TB. It was so easy

@Hitokiri55 2 года назад

My hard drive just died too

@111ShockWave Год назад

I have a question, did you have trouble activating your new hard drive as the primary playstation? I ask because mine died too and I did not have a chance to deactivate my old system and I am about to get a new hard drive.

@ippikitako 4 месяца назад

Indeed a very good video. I will be doing the same. I just got a sealed LE version Pro and after a few weeks it started freezing randomly, when games auto-save. Don´t know what else it could be than my hard drive dying... It´s also a Toshiba 1TB.

You should use a small cup so you don't loose your screws! Just a word of caution to anyone doing this for themselves.

@AceTechHD 7 лет назад

I wasn't aware they were new. Either way Marc said it's a 2TB seagate 2.5 5400 RPM sata HDD. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00I8O6OQ4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1478807829&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=2tb+ps4+hard+drive&dpPl=1&dpID=41G%2B6GaAMnL&ref=plSrch

@JonnyChaos 6 лет назад

I used this video alongside while I switched mine over. Can I just say, if you want to out your old hard drive (which is in use) from your old PS4, directly into your new pro after you've done a back up, you can do it and it will wipe it and start a fresh without having to format it first. I struggled to find this info online and just had to try an and hope for the best but it worked no problems. Cheers.

@AJNan-bf4is 6 лет назад

Nice drive. I bought for my secondary internal hardrive on my laptop and I'm very happy with huge amount of storage. I suggest you to get firecuda for boot drive for your PS4 because it helps boot faster. But barracuda is cheaper if you want to save a little bit of your money

@timh2888 7 лет назад

Thank you so much. this is incredibly helpfull. I'll be doing this within the next couple of days and this was just what I needed. I was curious if you have had any overheating issues with the system? my friend purchased the pro on release and experienced some very strange performance issues. randomly turning off and not turning back on again and extremely hot. he has now resorted to keeping a fan blowing on it to maintain temp.

@newrevelations3785 5 лет назад

Forget the Barracuda as in this video, instead go with the Firecuda (SSHD - SSD Hybrid Drive) which is only slightly more expensive than the Barracuda but gives you the speed and performance closer to and only slightly slower than an SSD giving you really the best of both worlds -- pricing closer to regular hard drives with performance closer to full SSDs.

@Chopan8809 4 года назад

What's SSD

@Friendly_G 10 месяцев назад

@Chopan8809 Solid State Drive. Granted your comment was in 2019 so I'm assuming you finally figures that whole nutshell 😅

@MSaleh-vy8rr 6 лет назад

@DeepPastry 6 лет назад

Probably should of gone with the very slightly more expensive Seagate SSHD FireCuda; Solid State Hybrid Drive. It's the same 2TB drive you installed, just with an integrated 8GB SSD portion as a Tier 2 cache, on top of the normal 128MB of Tier 1 cache. Which is way better than the 8MB cache on the normal 500GB/1TB drives that usually come with the PS4.

@bigpop-popsmurf 5 лет назад

##### URGENT QUESTION PLEASE #### Awesome video and was so helpful and full of great info. Question: You stated that the max thickness for the replacement hard drive is 9.5mm. The link you gave for the 4TB hard drive is actually 15mm. Will it work or do I disregard and use the 2TB hard drive only?

@Hack-rom-Classic- 5 лет назад

Thanks

@linteria6960 4 года назад

Hey Marc, great video. I just installed my FireCuda and now realize that you installed a Barracuda, so you might not be able to help me with this. But i was wondering, should i boot my applications from the new drive to see performance enhancements (in my case SSHD perks) or is booting games from the old HDD which is now my external negating any enhancements? I just did a load test for a game by timing 6 diff startups. It actually got slower every time. If anyone could help, that'd be great.

@herpderp1662 6 лет назад

Careful. Im now on my second second seagate 2tb for my pro. They dont seem to be very resilient.

@TOisONit 6 лет назад

FireCuda is the gaming version of this drive. Its a Hybrid drive. Much faster than standard HDD but slightly slower than an SSD

@oscarcortez6558 6 лет назад

TOisONit the one he has listed in the description works fine??

@julianriva5093 6 лет назад

@xXGAMING101Xx 5 лет назад

yea is the best hard drive for the ps4

@LeviSiccard 5 лет назад

5400 RPM?...

@TaintLuva 5 лет назад

Levi Siccard 5400 RPM is slow as hell, a 7200 would be minimum if not a ssd

@andrewrchooven1996 7 лет назад

can you do a video of you taking a ps4 hard drive and putting it into the ps4 pro

@nurulalam484 5 лет назад

Easiest way to save is using a LAN cable. You can pick and choose why you want to transfer

@ajtwain 7 лет назад

PS4 now has external hard drive support for modern usb 3.0 drives. It's much cheaper and gives you more space than changing the internal hard drive. Keep it and use the space instead of wasting it. 500 gb + 2tb = 2.5tb vs only 2tb.

@MrLeovaras75 7 лет назад

great video. I recently upgraded mine with a 2tb hdd, Seagate. question: what kind of camera did you use to record this video? I haven't seen this clarity on a RU-vid video before :/

@Erulin68 7 лет назад

I'm about to do this for my ps4 pro and wanted to know can I use the files on the USB drive that I used previously for the ps4 upgrade. Is the firmware the same?

@MultiSocks69 7 лет назад

@KB8SD 6 лет назад

I just did this hard drive upgrade last night with a brand new white PS4 Pro. The main problem I had was that the stock 1 TB that comes with the white PS4 Pro is slightly thicker & bigger compared to the Seagate FireCuda Gaming SSHD 2TB. I could not easily slide in and align the Seagate FireCuda Gaming SSHD 2TB with the PS4 hard drive metal housing unit. I had to hold and modify if it to fit and hold right right to sit in the hard drive housing unit. I still managed to get it installed and my white PS4 Pro unit is working.

@marcwilson7049 6 лет назад

KB8SD hi I guess I’m new into the install of these devices does this really help much with game play or just storage?

@henryebisike1385 6 лет назад

Marc Wilson Both. This will increase your storage capacity and with a faster drive you can boot up games much faster.

@juansalazar9396 6 лет назад

Would I see any considerable improvements if I used this same 2tb HDD on my original PS4?

@seanm3484 6 лет назад

I have the same hard drive. Does this hard drive already on fat32 format or do I need to format it first before swapping? Thanks.

@jbrown5991 7 лет назад

Quick question. I purchased the same hard drive for the old style PS4. Did you find that the PS4 runs warmer than before? It feels like it with mine. Everything works fine. Just wondering if you experienced the same thing and if its something to be concerned with.

@raul2169 7 лет назад

can you you use a smart TV to go on the website or does it have to be a computer? I just want to be sure.

@chrisbaca4090 5 лет назад

Is this process the same if you have a brand new / unused PS4 Pro? Or do I have to turn it on, set it up... then follow the video?

@joelistinnett 6 лет назад

could you install more than just a 2 TB? like a 3 or 4 if they make them? Like whats the most you can install? and what else can you change or can you only change the hard drive?

@fnfcudder9128 7 лет назад

hey marc this isnt a question about the ps4 more along a question about the tv. do you know how to make the blacks really black. i noticed that you have the same tv as me and it kinda gets on my nerves that there is lighting around the display when watching tv or a movie
