Hello, I have in my ps4 pro a 1tb SSD but I would like to transfer/copy everything on it in a 500gb SSD (because I need that SSD for something else). When I say everything I mean trophies, screenshots, videos, apps, games, games saves,... Is it possible ?

Yes it’s possible.
There are payloads and FTP for backing up critical files and the actual backup/restore option on the console to do the rest.
You will need an external drive/storage as an intermediary.
Then you will need to re-install your current firmware when you replace the internal hdd.

Thanks for your answer, what are the critical files ? Also does the backup/restore option backup and restore installed fpkg ? Because some installed fpkg are dumped games so it would take a long time to dump again. Or maybe should I just transfer them into an extended storage ?
What about the trophies ? Is there an easy way to transfer them with the photos ?
Do you know a tutorial to do all of that please ?
That wouldn't work in the OP's case as he is going from 1TB down to 500GB, He needs to use the ps4 to format the drive and partition it via installing the drive into the ps4 and then installing the firmware so that the ps4 writes those to the drive. Then he can restore the backup files he made to the new drive - assuming they will now fit on the remaining space of the drive as the filesystem and partitions will take up around 100GB of that, so he will only have about 400GB space to restore his files.
TBH there's about a million guides on how to do this - a quick google "ps4 transfer data to new hard drive", should show him how.
Thanks for your answer, I am still not sure abour trophies: I have to copy the USER/HOME/XXXXXXXXX/TROPHY folder and the USER/TROPHY folder but will it also copy trophies thumbnails and trophies screenshots ?
hard to clone but it works with aomei backupper
when I clone with aomei backuper it works great but you have to connect to internet and if you are on 9.00 shit you can t connect your account

That’s why cloning is a “bad idea “, you just need an “intermediate “ Hdd .
Never tried cloning, even if I have Amoei, always did the “old way”../
Yes, it's entirely possible to transfer your data from a larger SSD to a smaller one, provided the total used space on the 1TB SSD is less than 500GB. If you're over that, you'll need to make some decisions on what to keep and what to delete.
Here's a quick rundown of the process:
For game saves, I'd also recommend uploading them to the PS Plus cloud storage if you have a subscription, just to have an extra layer of safety.
Good luck with your transfer, and I hope it goes smoothly!
Here's a quick rundown of the process:
- Backup Data to an External Drive: Using the PS4's built-in backup utility, you can back up your games, save data, and other data to an external hard drive.
- Replace the 1TB SSD with the 500GB SSD: Physically replace the old drive with the new one.
- Initialize the PS4: Upon booting up with the new SSD, your PS4 will prompt you to install the system software. Use a USB drive to do this.
- Restore from Backup: Connect the external drive where you backed up your data, and use the restore function on your PS4.

Read the OP, no internet connection, otherwise loose of 9.00 jailbreak, trophies can be retrieved via ftp, and the method you described, is what I said on my previous post, using an external hard drive, rather than try to clone.
And, again, SSD are useless on the PS4, only issues at the end, the console was never built for SSD.
PS4 was never designed for SSD, so issues are corrupted database, and SSD failure. No better loading times, on the PS4, at least in games.
From my point of view, Using an SSD as extended storage is okay, but not as internal.

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.+1

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.+1
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
