Moreover, mechanical hard drives in general can halt occasionally for moments when processing data, according to the nature of mechanicality. So, for a smoother and seamless overall experience on PS4, you better get an SSD if you can afford the price.
Looking to buy the seagate firecuda drive but after reading this comment im not sure, is the difference between SSD and SSHD that noticeable for online gaming?
Im not looking to spend lots on a SSD as im just after a bigger more reliable hard drive to replace my stock PS4 drive to store more games to play with friends, standard model PS4, also saw that SSD will be no good in this model, is that right? PS4 is pretty old now, think i got it within first year of release in UK. Some will still disagree, but this is what I recommend and see right. I would really love that. Id definitely recommend it, still need to use ps4 more and try more games on it like red dead and gta, but it loads up OS much quicker, and after playing a game for a while it loads up loading screens quicker, worthwhile upgrade to last me for a few years then get ps5!!
Thanks again for your nice feedback. My PS4 is original console bought in Would upgrading my old hard drive, which is most likely busted from the fall, fix this issue? If so, which one is reliable enough to work with the first gen ps4? Yes, it will fix this issue if the culprit is the hard drive, which is in most cases. Ok, so you were right changing the HDD was the reason for the boot up error. I ended up purchasing and installing the Seagate Barracuda 1TB.
Thanks again! And thanks for coming back with a feedback. After 8 months. Upgraded my 1tb internal Toshiba original drive which came with PS4 slim. To new baracuda 2. I have had no issues. I play VR and normal. And online overwatch and H1Z1 and so many more games. The ps4 runs faster smoother.
Load times actually depends on the servers of the PS4 playstation store. My internet is mbps so not an issue. Its all about the server loads. Not ps4 or hard disc. I have have faster load times with this hard drive and also have had couple of power failure but still the hard drive restored automatically all the data.
No issue as of now. No I did not buy firecuda price difference was not much but I think if there are power failure then the fire cuda mite not survive. I m same person king 20 up there. Thanks for this nice addition. How did you assume that in the first place?
It was 8 months back I must have read the article. That anyways the baracuda and firecuda both series keep failing after 1 odd year of usage. And thus assumed that if its gonna anyways fail and I had a baracuda unit from company as replacement packed one not open replacement so i did not want to sell and then buy firecuda.
Anyways sshd will always load more data in ssd cache in the loop. So more chance that whatever I will be doing it will be on ssd while playing and not on hdd so if there is a power failure which happens since there is a Metro Line construction in my area and will be for 10 more years.
So it will not be able to restore the last new data. Ssd to hdd wont transfer as it will suddenly loose power. Like in my LG tv if the tv is shut or power failure then the hdd light still keeps blinking and it shuts.

I was wondering about the online gaming part of it. Will it work just the same as the original ps4 hard drive when it comes to online gaming or not. I know we didnt have any issues when we played online with the original hard drive. It will be just slightly and unnoticeably better. If you want to improve your online gaming, the best go is an SSD. If you can afford it, go for it.
Hello, thank you so much for the wealth of information regarding the ps4 hard drive. Red dead redemption 2 even started lagging and glitching, which never happened to me before. Then I moved the ps4 from my bedroom to the living room and when I powered it on it was in safe mode and said I needed to download the software to a usb device and reinstall it on my ps4.
I did a database rebuild and it started working again but then I keep getting data corruption crashes on all my games. I am 46 years old and play offline in the evenings after work, what do you recommend for someone like me with a limited budget should I need a new hard drive? I saw Best Buy had a western digital 1tb hd for Well, we always recommend to upgrade the PS4 hard drive if you want more power out of the new replacement drive i.
In fact, what happened to your PS4 hard drive is that it suffers from bad sectors that cause this issue you described. Please learn how to do that by reading this guide.
Just in case you want to do it yourself, you will have an external hard drive enclosure for this. Also, I put my ps4 in rest mode every night, could this be the reason for my ps4 trouble? Guess I live and learn lol. It is not good to often put any system on rest mode, whether it is a computer, tablet, smartphone or even a game console. You have to eventually turn it off completely at least once a week in order to maintain the performance of the device. I got it for my son for Christmas.
He was playing fortnight when it started to lag and freeze a bit. It was working fine earlier that day! Does this mean my drive is more than likely shot? But first, please read this article as it offers other solutions that might work in your case. Hi, I followed your guide to complete format the HDD because it had faulty sectors. When I boot in safe mode only step 7 is available, which makes sense. Upgraded to the XB7, with 1gbps, and maybe get 50mbps. Dude I cannot manually set just dns settings.
I have to manually set ip, subnet, and default gateway also. What do I set those as? If I just try to change my dns settings, it does not let me continue. Not without setting all those others as well. By the time im writing this I tried the 8. If you have a slow overall connection through your internet provider, switching DNS will have limited impact.
This was a really helpful and simple to follow guide. Warzone COD has heaps of server issues and error codes. Good stuff. Idk that I should take any advice from a website that cant even format its mobile webpage correctly to show the entire page. Can you please provide more info about this issue so we can fix it? Usability is a huge priority. I entered cloudflare first. It took my Download speed to Then I used Google. My download speed was increased to Just one question.
Just got on my ps4 today and I noticed the ping was horrid and it just started today out of the blue. The download speed was ok around If your upload speed is really bad, it could either be a networking issue or more likely throttling by your internet provider. To rule out throttling, plug your PS4 directly into your modem and see if it fixes the issue. If you are being throttled, you can install a VPN on your compatible router , and circumvent throttling that way.
The worst part is, the game works for other people in the halls near me. Try a VPN and see if you can access it. So much for the ps4 gold headphones…. If i get a hub and connect the hdd and the headphone usb will they work properly? Thank you. It must connect directly to PS4. On the other hands, other devices can use the hub and they will work fine. I have first ps4. Only 2 usb I have Vr Thrustmaster t Ps4 platina headphones.
How can i get all working? Use a USB 3. Hi, can I connect an external laptop fan to my slim to avoid overheating? Or could it be harmful to the console? They must connect directly to PS4. Yes it will work well. It meets all the conditions that allow you to use an external storage on PS4. The difference is the data transfer rate.
The USB 3. How do I get the 3. I have a 3. Transferring onto my PC takes 3 minutes. USB 3. Plus, the transfer speed depends on a large part on the speed of the internal storage device. So, if you PC uses an SSD, it will take much less time to transfer files compared to traditional hard drive. Does an USB 2. Or do you necesarilly need an 3. Yes, it does work, but only as a mass storage device for backup purposes not as an extended storage on which you can install games and apps.
If I have movies on a 3. Yes, you can. Both work for movies. Or can a usb 2. Status Not open for further replies.

The default DNS server assigned to your home network is typically provided by your internet service provider.
