PS4 pro 9.00 change hdd

[Grauper]

Hi. Last time I bought PS4 pro with 9.00 soft. I want to change hdd from 1tb to 4 tb/ make some backup for this software in case hdd break.

Any advise how to do this? Or it's enought to change hdd and put usb stick with 9.00 soft and instal?

You can put in a new drive and reinstall OS if the old drive died.

And I don't need to make any copy earlier? Uufff. Nice thanks for info beacuse I heard some rumors it is not so simple

well, you'd need to make a copy of saves, then trophies (if you care about them). games--I wouldn't advise putting games on an internal hdd, because if the ps4 fails, those games are gone. an external hdd can just be put on another ps4 as long as the account is the same. very easy.

Windows won't be able to see it, im not sure if docking station cloning would work for it, as @godreborn said backup your save.

I think that automatic initialization with windows is untrue. before I knew that you needed two separate hdds for xbox, one for xbox games, the other for retroarch, I plugged in my xbox formatted drive to my laptop. it didn't detect it obviously, and it didn't initialize automatically either as I had no issues putting it back on the xbox.

I don't care about games, saves or trophies I care about my 9.0 soft only in case of some hdd failure I don't wana lose it and wait for new exploit for new soft.


Ps. And yes. I thought something about clone this hdd. I thought it is necessarily to keep old soft.

if you meant the games, you can either keep the fpkg on a separate hdd, or use an external storage with the PS4.
