Oyen Digital 1TB 7200RPM Hard Drive Upgrade Kit - PlayStation 4

Easy to install. 5 simple screws... comes with everything you will need, no other purchases necessary. I will say that when you get to the point when you need to download the update file to the USB flash drive make sure it's the correct file... when you go on the playstation support website and look under the update category you will see a download now icon under the latest update number, do not click this... look directly below it where it says "if you need to install a fresh full update to the software click here" and this is what you need to click.... it will take you to a link where you will find instructions on how to upgrade and it will go into description of the update file showing a size it should be more than 800 mb... if it's only around 300mb this is the incorrect file, you need the larger file to be sure it installs all core components of the update to your fresh hdd you just installed... download it using your laptop, transfer it to your flash drive provided in the kit and then your ready to install it to the ps4. Simple and fast really... you will need access to a pc or laptop to download the files needed to update the ps4. But no complaints.

I probably should have forked over the extra cash the first time I upgraded my ps4. Previously, I bought a FAT32 1tb 5400rpm hard drive for about $60. It had no instructions and I had to buy an external hard drive that was FAT32 because I had over 100gb of save files and they don't make flash drives over 64gb that are FAT32. long story short, I couldn't get my save files to that new drive and it took a severe dump after 2 months giving me a physical damage to hard drive code. When I saw this bundle the first time I overlooked it because of the price. This time I just went with it and I was blown away!! The instructions are ridiculously easy to follow, I didn't have to buy extra tools to transfer data, the data from my original drive transferred over within 5 minutes, I still have the data to that point backed up and My original hard drive isn't just lying around any more. Fallout 4 runs great with it as do all my other games and I don't have to downsize my game library!!! game downloads and updates seem to install faster too.

This is practically a steal. I can't believe all you get for the price. The set up was fast and simple, however, there aren't detailed instructions. I used a YouTube video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5FJHYAfiYRsThe file I downloaded wasn't 800 mb, like stated in the video. It was something along 700 mb, so keep that in mind. Just don't use the 300 mb update! I have about 10 games, 2 of which are downloads, and I had 497.5 gb left. This is fine for me as I tend to trade in most games. However, if you have a lot of games that you keep on your hardrive, you might want to consider going with 2 TB. I may do that in the distant future. Keep in mind that you will have to copy your game saves, as everything will be deleted. I got this around 4 pm and it took until after 10 to get all my games reinstalled. The actual hardrive install took about 20 minutes tops. I totally recommend this!COPY SAVE GAMES:This wasn't mentioned in the video, so I thought I would post here.- go to settings- under settings, look for Application Saved Data Management. Click on this- go to Saved Data in System Storage- click on Copy to USB Storage System- just go into your games and click on the files you want to copy. That's it.

I take apart all kinds of electronics and fix them but this PS4 was intimidating to me and I don't know why. This kit made it a breeze including everything you need to get it done. Some basic tips1.) there are tons of YouTube videos out there take a look at 1 or 2 and read instructions all the way through before starting.2.) I used a different USB drive for each user so I didn't get the data mixed up, but you can use just the one it comes with by transferring each user's data to a computer in between backups.3.) The backup data won't load back on the PS4 unless you have installed the game first (this took me a second to realize). So just put the game in the drive until it says Start under the icon on the screen then eject it and load another. It ques the updates automatically and you don't need to wait for them to update to load saved data.Again, this was super easy and took me about 45 minutes from start to finish including loading all the user data back on the PS4. Great kit folks. I give you ALL the stars.

HDD is installed and working great. The issue was the USB thumb drive included was bad. It's file system was corrupt and it wold not install the PS4UPDATE.PUP file correctly. I kept having installation errors on my PS4. I had tried full formatting with in FAT32 and exFAT nothing worked. I tried another thumbdrive and the software installed right away without issue. I know they did not make the drive and it was bought in bulk from another supplier. So I can't really hold it against them. I would how ever if you are having issues with the software installation try another thumbdrive.

I got this very quickly! I fought with my ps4 slim for several days trying everything to fix the system after my hard drive failed after doing a ps software update. I only had the console for 15 months but use it daily. This was extremely easy to install. After downloading the update/install file from Sony, be sure to change the file name to the proper one on the USB flash drive. My windows 8.1 wouldnt let me rename the computer file name without having a number after the file name, but on the flash drive I WAS able to correct the file name after copying the download file from the computer memory to the flash drive. it made my day and saved me from buying a new game console. I plan to replace the hard drive on my daughters original ps4 also because she frequently gets stuck in safe mode boot loop and we have to factory reset her system.
