Ps4 ssd?

[8-Bit Ninja]

So i recently bought a Intel 750 series pcie ssd, this has made my old 500gb samsung evo (2.5inch) ssd redundant, i was thinking about putting it in my ps4, but will i actually see any real improvement, or will it be the same as the hard drive that comes with it perforce wise?   

[DarkBlade2117]

Yes, it is just like it in your PC. You will see improvements.

[Swndlr]

If I remember correctly, the PS4 and Xbone's OS cant actually take advantage of an SSD, or to an extent.

Could be mistaken

[EvilWiffles]

Sure, just stick it in the PCI... Wait, you don't have one on the PS4.

 

Joke aside, it'd work but it wouldn't be used to full potential. 500GB is rather small.

Does PS4 support SSD hard drives? This should be looked into!

[App4that]

There are benchmarks using different SSDs and HDD out there, and plenty of installation guides as you'll have to load the operating software. Have at it!

[8-Bit Ninja]

it supports them but like swndlr said they supposedly cant take advantage of the faster speeds

the 750 is in my pc.....

 

So all in all, should i sell the evo or stick it in the ps4

Load times will be affected. in a good way even with a replacement HDD at a higher speed.

I'd go for a 1-2TB HDD instead of a 500GB SSD, personally.

I never filled my 500 even with games and captures on it. The SSD will murder the load times. If it fits.

maybe, but i have the ssd already, where as i would have to buy a HDD

its a 2 and half inch ssd its the same size as the HDD in the ps4

Not always, there are fitment guides out there too. Half a mm can be the difference. I don't like them but Gaminformer has a good fitment guide and installation guide.

It can be done:

Well, I'm sure it'd get full real quick after all the large updates and games being more than 50GB lol.

I had Witcher 3, War Thunder, and a TON of captures on my 500 and was around 20-30% full depending on the other stuff I was doing like movies. The advantage the PS4 has is disks, this removes the need to store games.

[CatCloud]

Short answer: yes an ssd can fit and yes it will improve loading time, by how much? I forgot... But it depends mostly on the games, I have been thinking on doing it myself but I'm waiting for the price to go down.

I Se no reason not to if you already have it unless you need money badly.

I asked Linus once to do some tests./ a video about it but he said no.

[Sharkyx1]

 

Here are the tests, they aren't super positive, usually within 5-10%

The PS4 uses SATA2.  So, there will be an improvement, but not a huge one.

@8-Bit Ninja Me, too.  I've got a 1TB already, but I'd sure like a bigger one. 

[GamerzCentralYT]

They do support it i have one in mine.
