How to upgrade the PS4 with a SSD - HyperX

- This guide will walk you through replacing the hard drive in your PS4 with a faster SSD, allowing for faster loading times. In order to replace the drive you’ll need the following tools:
• An SSD
• Small Screwdriver
• USB Flash Drive to install the OS from
• External hard drive for backup of existing game data (optional)
• A USB SATA enclosure for the hard drive, included with HyperX SSD bundle kits (optional)
Installation steps:
1. If this is not a brand new PS4 and you have saved games on it that you want to keep, back up your data first. You will need an external hard drive that’s big enough to hold all of your data. You can connect it using the USB SATA enclosure included with HyperX SSD bundle kits.
2. Slide open your case, unscrew the hard drive and replace it with the HyperX SSD.
3. On a computer go to www.playstatio... and download the PS4 system software under the “Perform a new installation of the system software” heading.
4. Copy the installer PS4UPDATE.PUP to a USB drive. Place it in a folder titled UPDATE which is in a folder called PS4 (PS4\UPDATE\PS4UPDATE.PUP)
5. Eject the USB drive, connect it to your PS4, and install it to the new SSD.
6. Restore all your old games and files from the hard drive in the external enclosure you back up the data to in step 1.
Great video guys, you missed out the section where you spend 30 minutes looking for a screwdriver, the 10 seconds in which you accuse your wife of misplacing it and the week you have been sleeping on the couch since you found it in the shed, the first place she told you to look when you embarked on this project. The load times are worth it though.
Nice 😂😂
Dang you know the deal homie
this is way too specific
That’s why I keep everything I need on my side of the room/closet lol.
What are load times?
If you’re doing this in 2020 you can backup n restore all you saved data to ps plus if you’re a member. and you can re-download you’re games from your Library once you sing in. Saved me 8 hours and $80 on an external hard drive

Thanx alot
Isaac Hubing for real! OP needs to pin this comment. Thanks, Bryan!!!! ❤️
Wait, maybe I’m asking a dumb question but, but since you have a SSD now and don’t need to buy the external drive how do you acquire the latest update part?
Live To learn I don’t know what you mean by update part. If you’re asking how to keep your ps4 up to date, you just simply do what you did before ssd. Just keep it on auto update. And your ps4 will automatically downloads the latest software when available.
Cool, now that I know this I just need to buy a PS4 and a SSD.
Don't forget to buy a pendrive as well. 😁
same here
because ps4 hdd uses usb3 bus, change of HDD to SSD will give no effect
Buy an xbox one x instead and use an SSD. Youre welcome.
@@JamesSchro no games though
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. It was short, to the point and easy to follow. Thanks a bunch and do Xbox one next.

This is very useful information now that every Mw update is like 10000 gb and a kidney
Facts
What's the use of installing this in ps4?
@@iamapotatod5814 Way faster speeds, ( Quieter if fan is off since no moving parts. ). And also less chance of it failing.
Perfect tutorial - thank you so much! Happy now with my 1TB drive in the PS4!
HyperX, the gaming PC brand, uses Mac.
I want to make myself believe it’s a hackintoshed master race PC xD
HyperX is Kingston.
Lmao u are a true console peasant
It's probably easier since PS4 uses exfat for storage (which is what Mac uses)
@@flonxu2385 Apple uses a proprietary format which I don't even bother to remember it's name. ext4 is used by Linux. exFat by Windows (removable media)
Thanx BUD. I replaced the original 1TB (HDD) with a 500GB (SSD) for my kids and it worked like a charm. Did not need backups as they are still too young, so this worked like a charm. The only thing that got me was the USB KEY had to be plugged into the back of the unit. Thanx again, all the way from Cape Town, South Africa!
I’m actually really surprised how simple that was to do. Like really surprised
Cool! I already have a screw driver now i just need ps4!
Oh me too!
Wait for ps5
Get a job....
Small details: your new HDD or SSD needs to be FAT32. Your external storage device (Pendrive) you update the system from also and not supposed to be bigger capacity than a certain size: First I tried 128 GB pendrive but my PS4 did'nt see it. Than I tried 4 gig pendrive and all went like charm.
Thanks your guide was the easiest and most accurate I found in either video or written form. Great job! Cheers!
This was very helpful. Thank you for also skipping the long intro and outro and getting right to it!
Before upgrading to SSD, you must backup your savefiles and data.
It’s really easy, built to be possible;
Swap drives
Install software from sony site on usb
(I also put all my save data on)
Install everything into PS4
- i’m sure there is a way to migrate the data to the other hardrive without opening anything before, with a particular wire. Here you could also just use it as an external
I did exactly what this video said and my ps now has a functional ssd!! Thanks so much!!😁😁
I should've thought of that back in the late 2010s. I have the standard PS4 since Christmas 2015. If I should've known about Solid State Drives at the time, I've would've bought a 1TB Solid State Drive because I would run out of room on the standard 500GB hard drive years later.
Why is this getting recommended to me a day before the ps5 launch?
TH-cam knows what you can worth
To keep you from wasting your money on a PS5 lol
PS5: Games like gta 5 will load faster
Gta 6: Am i a joke to you?
I play PC for gaming. But I also grew up on consoles I still got love for them just not for what they have become when it comes to straight gaming. But I will say can't wait til next gen consoles to come when the jail breakers put in work. Then can mod the PS4 to add to my 3tb modded original Xbox, 4tb Wii, 13tb ps3. Still need to JTAG the 360.
I installed a 2tb ssd and it’s amazing
Which brand did you use? How's the loading time on it?
Just 2 tb? Wow
A 2TB ssd costs as much as a Xbox One S here
@@nicktubara i knew someone will comment with that attitude. Not disappointed.
This guy just made a DIY ps5
The PS5 will be MUCH quicker
Download link mentioned in the video does not allow for full system restore. You'll get some unfriendly error message when trying to install. Instead try scrolling down to the part that says: "Agree and download now > Click to start the download." (You should click the image saying "Agree and download now >"...
Easy stuff wish I did this sooner. Immediately noticed a significant decrease in load times on red dead online. I had the game downloaded on a newer external before and that helped more than the original factory hard drive but the ssd is even quicker.
I was going to do this back in 2016 but they only had 240gb ssd’s. Now that they are available and more affordable for a 1tb. It’s time.
Guys also make shore that your usb is exFAT format because you're PS4 Only Support exFAT.
Also I upgraded My PS4 with a sandisk 1 TB SSD and it is really fast so recommended to upgrade
2021 updated link for PS4 software: www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps4/system-software/
Make sure to scroll down to the "reinstallation file" download link.
Hyper x designs like this are so cool I wish they would do more
Thanks for the video. I’m currently planning on upgrading to a 2tb SSD my PS4’s pathetic 500gb capacity is annoying. Use my PS4 daily and will eventually upgrade to a PS5 but currently those prices are crazy 😜
What's about taking the original drive out. Clone it to the SSD and then plug the SSD?
Would that work? How do you do it?
Jag upgrade my sons Playstation 4 successfully today.
Thanks a lot.
old comments be like : "i can't afford an $4k ssd"
I don't think you would really see much performance gain since the PS4 only uses SATA2, Plus a 2TB SSD would cost you the price of an additional PS4 pro.
Yea get a pc
SSD gives a massive gain to any sata2 PC and device. Max transfer speed isn't the biggest reason why SSDs are so fast.
I bought a 2T for 100$. Plus, you can alway remove it and use it else were.
It isn’t that hard just buy a Kingston a400 with 1tb (960gb) that ssd is sata 2 so no problem
@@CkEOdimen where
Thanks TH-cam recommend me this 4 years too late
What about ps4 slim
Try seeing dissasembly videos and you will know where the hard drive is
Thanks mate
@@kavgtx3665 No problem
The people that say console is better than pc are the same people that found this video helpfull
Odd how you folks dont understand things at all? The data transfer rate of the mainboard on ps4 is 3mbps. The standard rate for high speed is 6mbps. You will gain very minimal speed using SSD. Use a 7200 rpm standard hard drive instead of the 5400 rpm drive PS4 comes with and that will be all you need. Not sure why folks here dont know this.
Make another video on what you could do with the hard drive you just took out...
Just swapped the stock internal drive of PS4 Pro to a Crucial M550 SSD. Then have a Portable Sandisk Extreme 600 SSD as my external drive.. Dual rocking SSD's baby !!! 👍 😎 👍

If only...
I loved your presentation 👐👐keep it up..
transfer OS to another ssd or harddrive
mine keeps saying “cannot back up”
I bought an ssd for 120 euros 1 tb for the ps4 pro now I have turned my ps4 pro into ps5 easily
Highly informative. Thank you!
Hyper x = creative gaming devision
Was confused cause you didnt show the hard drive being pulled out. You pulled it out then all of a sudden it was empty...
Thank you for the info, I just subscribed
This is a lot easier than I thought
Ya le coloque uno a mi PS4. I just right now put a SSD Hyper X to my PS4 and works very nice!
This is the easiest step by step video

HyperX : install an ssd on a PS4
Jonathan Emmanuel where is the joke
You are OnePlus fun right?
This video was so nice and concise! Will the PS4 format the external when you back up your files? I have an external but it’s got stuff on it. Thanks.
Hi Michael, please refer to the PS4 manual for the exact steps and warnings you get when performing the steps of the video. Our general advice would be to always keep a backup of data, just in case.
Your Kingston Team
an*
1. Backup entire game collection into external drive so you don't need to redownload game.
2. Turn off PS4.
3. Remove existing HDD and unscrew it from the bracket.
4. Install 2.5" SATA SSD into the bracket and screw it back.
5. Put the HDD bracket back into PS4 screw it.
6. Download latest PS4 firmware file and place into USB drive via its corresponding folder location: USB:/PS4/UPDATE/PS4UPDATE.PUP
7. Plug in USB drive containing the firmware and also plug in DS4 controller with usb cable on it.
8. Boot up PS4 and follow on-screen instructions.
9. Sign-in PSN account first and connect the external drive containing games in it.
Ps4 slim
When you copy your games on to a drive does your account copy too
Unfortunately this won’t speed up the first gen ps4, they don’t support the speed of an ssd
Ssd always outperforms HD...
Tajinder Rikhi true, but if the ps4 cannot take advantage of the speed then it’s pointless
Jasin Walraven the first gen ps4 doesn’t support sata 3.......
Way easier than replacing the thermal paste
If I have ps plus can I backup all my data to online storage instead of a external drive?

Oh simple like that, thanks bro you sa life saving for real❤❤❤
Santa madre de Cristo voy ahorrar para instalarle una de 1 Tera :'v

GameStop: Welcome to GameStop...How may we help you today!?
do a video on Xbox One/Xbox One S
Hi Folks. I did exactly what you said in the video, step by step. With the Playstation 4 console turned off, and the new SSD hard drive installed, I inserted the jump drive with the latest .pup file inserted into the USB slot. I held down the power button on the console for 7 seconds and heard the beep. Then the screen came on in SAFE MODE and asking me to 'Connect the DUALSHOCK 4 using the USB cable and then press the PS Button'. When I do this and press the PS button, the controller flashes twice and stays off and nothing happens on the screen. Cant get past this. The SSD drive I used has a windows operating system installed on it. Will the PS4 console format this to FAT32 automatically or do I have to format it manually first before physically installing it in the console ?? I'm at a loss here. HELP !!!!!!!!!!!
whats the name of that screwdriver your using?
Still needs a PC to upgrade PS4. And they said PC isn't master race rofl
Logan Simmons actually you could get an otg cable and use your phone
pc is like an android and console are like iphone bcs android can download whatever they want but iphone are secured abd only use for their main purpose
Neon Tigerz there is a special usb you can use on iPhone and iPhone and ps4 are the best Microsoft is basically a computer more then ps4 in my eyes making it an android in my eyes
How do you load a an windows iso to a USB? Oh wait... the exact same way.
Neon Tigerz Just get over the fact that the Pc is an iPhone because of cost and performance.
Shit...i just watched this video 4 years late. Thanks aniway, nice video! ✌🏻
Why didn't you just replace the old one whit the ssd and then copy the files from the old to the new ! (Whitout using a third hard drive)
How exactly do you do that
Hot to upgrade a ps4: Sell it and buy a pc
No
Lol
Lol can ya run those exclusive games on your potato pc? Nah
Little did you know you can jailbreak the systme using this method
Did it all thorough my Galaxy note 9 using the Samsung USB connector lol
The data transfer?
"How to upgrade your ps4 to ps5"
But..... Why? The PS4 doesn't even support SSD's. It still reads/writes at the same speeds as a regular HDD with an SSD in it.
Buy a ps4 --> upgrade it, why not just buy a PC?
exclusives, I'm pretty much "forced" to buy a ps4 because there are just too many games coming I'm not willing to miss out on.
Because a ps4 is much easier to play than pc. I find it a chore to turn on my pc and play a game. Thats why i play my ps4 more.
Horse Thief You never learn if you never try. When you get into it you will realize how much more you can do with a computer. I don't think you can run 4 squad voice comm over Teamspeak while having squadleaders on two voice channels at a time on a ps4.
Also the fact that consoles are only for gaming. What if I want to talk more in-depth about games in reddit for example or shitpost shitty memes, listen to music, listen to podcasts, watch a livestream while relaxing and playing a casual round of civ? You can't!
Maybe you have some other hobbies like making videos, using photoshop, 3D modeling, coding?
I mean to my understanding consoles have apps like spotify and stuff but I could never imagine using them with a controller
With consoles I just feel like im restricted you can't really customize your console all that much.
And what I hate the most is the UI which looks like the one I have on my phone with big boxes and icons.
Bloodborne. Thats your answer
Zeppo i do play pc from time to time but ps4 more. i realise i can do so much more with a pc but i like things simple. its easier to just jump on and invite my friends to a party and play. and if i want to listen to music i can use spotify on my phone and tell it to connect to my ps4 without having to actually do anything with my controller btw. its all just preference at the end of the day.
Nice video and idea but think I'll just get the 5 when it comes out.
Step 1:
Buy a PC
Step 1: sell PS4 to buy first PC parts*
Raf not like there are videos of 250 dollar PCs that beat playstations or anything
@@M15CH13F yeah used parts that are difficult to come by lol. There is no point getting a pc for 250 lol
HeyItsPanos please educate yourself about components, there are countless videos of brand new PCs costing 250
Imagine if there was a platform where this is intended and well supported.
how to upgrade your ps4 throw it away and buy an pc
true, that's why I m buying a PC soon
buy a pc*
Build a PC*
But how will I play Horizon Zero Dawn and God Of War now?
No
Just so you know your link is not working. Sony must have changed the location.
Someone:What should I buy Ps4 or Xbox one
Me:Laughs in Rtx 2060
Cool now ican put my western digital ssd into my ps4
Nothing happened after 7 seconds...tried holding button longer, nothing on screen.
Best buy geek squad... "changing to an ssd will do nothing to better load times" reason 137 to never let those idiots touch your electronics.
Problem is, this won't work as you thought, it would be.. you won't gain any speed in loading times, the sta port is the bottleneck on the board... that would go for the ps4 pro as well...
what if i already have games on my external hard drive? will i have to delete them to backup my ps4?
You dont really need to back everything up to be honest
If you have ps plus, just back up all your game saves to the cloud (USB stick if no ps plus) and then install ssd. You can redownload all discs and games anyway
Extremely well done! Clean simple perfect. :) very very appreciative. Now run for president.
how to pud SSD in a toaster plz
Dude thanks it worked
Im here because i play dayz on ps4 pro and we all know that dayz on console is like playing on a picture wheel toy
Any thoughts on getting error code CE-30780-8 after initialization after installing new SSD? Just installed an 870 EVO and getting this error code, which means that there is no hard drive detected.
I'm new to this but couldn't you use a SATA to USB cable to back up the hard drive directly to the SSD from the PS4 - to eliminate a couple of steps?
Can I also use a bigger HDD ? Or it must be ssd? Thanks
Yes, you can
