Yes. https://gbatemp.net/threads/aio-ps4-exploit-guide.497858/

Up to 2tb slim drives work internally withhout modification. (9mm)

4+ tb drives fit with a little modification but if theyre too thick they will press against components inside and cause issues with your console. (12mm)

Externally 8TB works fine as EXFAT formatted (not extended storage).

Use apptousb v9 for transferring games installed on internal to external (cannot install games diredctly to external yet)

I still not buy ps4, only gather information and maybe would buy on holidays :)
Do you know PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB (CUH-7008B) EUR with what fw can be?

CUH-7108B can be higher than 4.55 as I understand

So a little confused about this. I just got a brand new Ps4 pro with 4.55 on it. I want to upgrade the HDD to a 4tb. What is the proper procedure to do it while retaining the 4.55 FW that is currently on the console?

get the full firmware and make an update to 4.55 but the 4tb will not fit easily into the ps4 most ppl say that 2tb will fit

This is where I am confused... The full update is BEFORE 4.55... So I pop a new HDD in, restore it with the FULL update that was before 4.55, then update it to 4.55... Why don't others just do that to downgrade their systems? Cant you just pop in a new HDD and do the same thing? Super confused.... Thanks for any info

Thats not how it works.

There is SYS FW and REC FW for 4.55.

You cannot install lower FW on a console than it already has.

You need to put in your new hdd and install the REC FW 4.55 PUP.

Gotcha THANK YOU!!!

I was so confused because the stickied thread here doesnt have the REC 4.55 FW on it. Is there a way to 100% verify the pup I download is indeed 4.55? Not that I don't trust you at all my friend, just want to make sure the link worked.

Thank you!

So I made this account just to try learn more jailbreak and I have so many questions to ask, but I understand not everyone will have time or actually want to answer
1) I want to know if I would be able to play online with friends without getting banned
2) Is there any way to downgrade from 5.50 to 4.05 or 4.50?
3) what is webkit and kernel exploits? what can they do?

Calculating MD5 Hash (http://www.exactfile.com/downloads/) is the best you can do. I usually double-check the MD5 after copying firmware file to USB drive just to make sure file is not corrupted during download or writing to USB. Here are the MD5 for 4.55 firmware files downloaded from http://darthsternie.bplaced.com/ps4.html and http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/gaming-consoles/Sony/Sony-PlayStation-4-Firmware-4-55.shtml
4.55 Upgrade Firmware: 9c85ce3a255719d56f2aa07f4be22f02
4.55 Recovery (also called Re-Installation on Softpedia) Firmware: 6c28dbf66f63b7d3953491cc656f4e2d

1) You can't access PSN on hacked PS4 right now. So no online play with friends.
2) No.
3) In layman's terms, webkit exploit is like opening the door to a locked room and kernel exploit is like opening the safe inside that room. Here are some technical readings if you are interested:
