Installation
1. Download the PlayStation®4 Software
1.1 Plug in the USB ash drive into an available USB port on an Internet-connected
computer.
1.2 On the ash drive, create a folder named “PS4” (without quotations). Inside that folder,
create a folder named “UPDATE” (without quotations).
1.3 On the computer’s browser, navigate to: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/
system-updates/ps4/
1.4 Download the PS4™ Complete System Software le, and save it in the “UPDATE”
folder you created in step 1.2. Save the le with the le name “PS4UPDATE.PUP” (without
quotations). Note: make sure to download the complete system software le, not just the
update le.
1.5 Safely eject the ash drive from the computer.
2. Back Up User Data
2.1 Plug in the ash drive into an available USB port on the PS4™.
2.2 Turn on the PS4™.

6
2.3 In the PS4™ menu, navigate to “Settings,” then “System,” and then “Back up and
Restore.”
2.4 Select each component of user data that you would like to back up.

7
2.5 Click “Next” and then “Back Up PS4™”.
2.6 The PS4™ will now restart and copy all data that was selected for backup in step 2.4.
This process can take a while depending on the size of user data.
2.7 Unplug the ash drive from the PS4™.
2.8 Note: trophies cannot be backed up onto the ash drive. They should be backed up
on the PlayStation®Network.
2.8.1 In the PS4™ menu, navigate to “Trophies,” push the options button on the
controller, and select “Sync with PlayStation®Network” to synchronize trophies
to the PlayStation®Network (requires a PlayStation®Network account). For more
information, see step 4.13.
2.9 Note: games should not be backed up onto the ash drive. Games will need to be
downloaded onto the SSD via the PlayStation®Store or installed via physical disc. For
more information, see step 4.13.
3. Install the SSD
3.1 Fully turn off the PS4™and unplug all cables.
3.2 On a PS4™ Slim or Pro, remove the plastic angled drive bay cover located on the
back right corner of the PS4™. For a PS4™ Classic, remove the upper plastic panel on
the top of the PS4™.

8
3.3 Remove the single silver screw on the back of the PS4™ using the included
screwdriver.
3.4 Using the drive pull tab along the side of the PS4™, gently pull the HDD and drive
bracket out of the PS4™ drive bay.

9
3.5 Take note of the orientation of the HDD inside of the drive bracket as the SSD will
need to be installed identically. Remove the four screws that connect the HDD to the drive
bracket (two on each side).
3.6 Remove the HDD from the drive bracket and carefully set aside.
3.7 Place the SSD into the drive bracket using the same orientation as the HDD and
screw the four side screws back into place.

10
3.8 The gold connectors should be visible and inserted rst into the drive bay. Slide the
drive bracket with SSD back into the drive bay of the PS4™. Make sure to slide it all the
way in to ensure the connectors inside line up.
3.9 Screw the single silver screw into the back of the PS4™ housing.
3.10 Replace the plastic angled drive bay cover or the upper plastic panel in the PS4™
housing.
3.11 Plug the power cable and HDMI cable back into the PS4™.
4. Restore HDD User Data and Games to the SSD
4.1 Insert the ash drive into an available USB port on the PS4™.
4.2 Press and hold the power button of the PS4™ for 5-7 seconds. Wait for the PS4™
to start up.

11
4.3 Connect a controller via USB cable and press the PS button on the controller.
4.4 Choose “Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)” on the menu and follow onscreen
instructions.
4.5 Choose “OK” to conrm the ash drive has been inserted. Click “OK” again to
initialize.
4.6 The system will restart and install the PS4™ software from the ash drive.
4.7 Once the PS4™ restarts, follow the onscreen prompts to setup user info, network
connection settings, time/date settings, etc. The PS4™ should act as though this is the
rst time it has been powered on.
4.8 Once on the home screen of the PS4™, go to “Settings,” then “System,” and then
“Backup and Restore.”
4.9 Choose “Restore PS4™.”
4.10 Select the data to restore from the connected ash drive and choose “Restore.”
4.11 Follow the prompts and select “Yes” to proceed.
4.12 The PS4™ will go through a series of menus, restoring your data.
4.13 At the PS4™ home menu, login to the PlayStation®Store to download purchased
games or, alternatively, install games via physical game discs. This will take time
depending on how many games are being installed. Trophies can also be restored from
the PlayStation®Network at this point.
Congratulations, the PS4™ is ready to go with user data and games installed onto the
SSD!
5. Repurpose the PS4™ HDD into a Portable HDD

5.3 Slide the 2.5” enclosure lid off (pull towards the screw).
5.4 Remove the sticker from the HDD foam bumper included in this kit. Stick the foam tab
sticky side down in the middle of the inside of the enclosure. This will provide padding for
the HDD to rest on the inside of the enclosure.

13
5.5 Take the PS4™ HDD removed in step 2.3.6 and insert it into the SATA connector
located inside of the 2.5” HDD enclosure. Be sure that the HDD is snugly inserted and

enclosure and the USB-A connector into an available USB port on your computer.

system you intend to use and follow the appropriate instructions.

launch the Command Prompt program.

Then type “select disk X” (without quotations) where X is the disk number. Make
sure to choose the PS4™ HDD and not your operating system HDD. Hit enter. Type
“clean” (without quotations). Hit enter. A prompt will notify that the disk has been
cleaned and is ready for a fresh formatting. Close the Command Prompt program.

16
5.10.3 On the computer, search for “Disk Manager.”

17
5.10.4 Right click the drive to be formatted and select “New Simple Volume.” Note:
photo is just an example. Drive letters, capacities, etc. will vary from computer to
computer.

18
5.10.5 Click “Next.”
5.10.6 Ensure that the Simple Volume size in MB equals the Maximum disk space
in MB.
5.10.7 Click “Next.”

19
