PS4 Internal Hard Drive Upgrade
Hi all,
So recently I've noticed that I have nearly used all the 500gb of space in the standard PS4 hard drive. I want to upgrade it (possibly to a 2tb HDD) and I was wondering how that would affect everything currently on my ps4. How would I go about after upgrading the HDD. I am aware that everything would be deleted, so I would need to re-install all of my games, and download my saved data from the cloud (I am not sure how any of this works, though). However, I am very new to this, and any clarification/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
Edit: Finished installing the HDD in my PS4...thank you so much to everyone that helped me. It's working like a charm. I'm going to keep this thread open because it has a lot of useful information for anyone in the same boat as me. Thanks again!

7 RepliesI have just completed updating my hdd today. This is how I did it. 1. Made sure game saves and trophies had been synced with ps cloud. 2. Using a 500GB external drive used the PS4 own backup program in settings. Showed 4 hrs to backup a full ps4 drive. 3. Whilst backing up I downloaded the full software V2.57 from Sony (785MB approx) to a usb drive. Need to create a couple of folers and place file there. 4. Backup finishes turn of ps4. Unplug cables then replaced drive takes 5 mins max. 5. Insert all cables and usb pendrive. Press and hold power button on ps4 to enter safe mode. 6. Select option 7 then wait for ps4 to restart. 7. Set up ps4 as you did initially but don't activate as primary device. 8. Plug in backup device and goto settings and restore. Follow instructions and it will take same amount of time to restore as it did to backup. 9. Once complete log in set as active primary device again check your settings. 10. Your good to go. No downloading anything. All games work. 2TB hdd working great.
