I know I’m 2 years late and have an outdated console but you just saved me so much time and money all I needed to do was clean my hard drive I was getting an error code🤷🏻‍♂️☠️😭

[@mainerienrico7063]

sry bro, did the error code ce-34878-0? because i have the same problem

[@OutlawNabil97]

​@mainerienrico7063 the corrupt data right, I got the same problem, I'm thinking about buying another HDD

[@mainerienrico7063]

​@@OutlawNabil97I resolved it, in my case it is an FC25 error, if you want take a HDD I advise you to take a small hard disk from Amazon to try it and verify to resolve the problem in the other case you can send back it

[@djjackson5700]

So quick question, can you put in a 5tb and up hard drive for the ps4 slim, or does it have too be a certain amount of the drive that the ps4 slim can withstand?

[@Joesge]

I've never tried, but that my be too much storage for the software to handle, but it could work just fine.

[@KRAWofficial]

@@Joesge The largest internal hard drive or SSD the PS4 can handle is 8 terabytes. If you are using a mechanical HDD for internal, then 2TB is the max because of the actual physical size of the drive, any higher capacities won’t fit inside, most HDD’s above 2TB are too thick. Any capacity SSD (256GB - 8TB) is fine, because they’re all thin enough to fit inside.

[@animated_muckles]

Where did you get that same kind of HDD? I'm trying to find it but i can't find any that looks like the same size as the old one.

[@Joesge]

You can find the same ones online.

[@olliemex8594]

What screw driver do you need for the screw?

[@ethanrabideau7402]

Should I try this before initializing my PS4?

[@Joesge]

Yes, i'd give it a try. The HDD fails fairly frequently

[@AltAccount2003]

Does the new storage drive need to be a hard disk or could I use a 2.5 sata sdd?

[@aesopshair6690]

You can use SSD, but needs to be a minimum size (240GB?)

[@vashishtbasdeo8740]

Can u use any random hard drive? Or do u need a specific ps4 hard drive?

[@Joesge]

You gotta make sure you match up the specs. But if the specs match it should work just fine.

[@dreamybull1509]

what's the max GB the PS4 slim can take? cuz the PS3 slim takes 1tb max. if you get a 2tb you can partition it to 1.5tb

[@KRAWofficial]

@@dreamybull1509 I believe the largest internal hard drive or SSD the PS4 (regardless if it’s the OG PS4, Slim or Pro) can handle is 8 terabytes.

If you have folders on your ps4 and you upgrade your HDD, do your folders remain on the system?

[@Joesge]

You would have to transfer the data from your old hdd

[@skiskiski1743]

Can I replace a ps4 slim hard drive with a ps3 slim hard drive??

[@Joesge]

I wouldnt. The PS3 hdd has a different software on it, and is probably just out of date.

[@GameSter455]

What could the problem be if the hard drive doesn’t slide out

[@Joesge]

If the hard drive wont come out, its possible that the housing has been bent. You may have to take the top cover off to get a better angle on the hdd.
