Alright, fuck it. I'm going all in with the Samsung EVO SSD.
Problem is, I've got stuff saved on my PS4 drive currently. What's the best way to clone or copy that stuff off the drive so that when I swap the SSD in, its like nothing changed.
There are ways to do it, but will be a complete pain, inc using cloning software + connecting both drives to the PC.
I would recommend you just back up your saves, instructed here: https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5107
Then re-download any digital games etc (fresh install)
I need help Gaf. The Seage Hybrid drive I bought arrived today and I put it in the console, but when I boot it, it goes straight to Safe mode asking me to update the FW to 1.51
I've tried updating both from the Internet and from a USB stick but it says an error occured. Can anyone who did this procedure help me please? EU PS4 here by the way.
Are you sure you are trying to reinstall the software using the instructions here: http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps4/new-install/#installationSteps
Reinitialize PS4 software, The USB is Formatted in fat32, has a folder named "PS4" then "UPDATE" and are using the 800mb+ File? not the 300mb update (I had to re-format my USB drive in Fat32, even tho I was sure it already was, worked fine 2nd time)
