Topic: My personal experience of replacing PS4 slim HDD with SSD. Reason, Result, Price, for anyone who is looking for experience of another gamer

So I have decided to make this post because it can be useful for someone, answer some questions and so I can hear some feedback. Or so that you guys can share your experience

First things first: I KNOW that it is not a very good thing for several reasons, like…
PS4 phat and slim use SATA 2, which means that PS4 cannot fully use the potential of SSD. So I decided to go for a budget SSD.
There is a PS4 Pro that has SATA 3, and it is much wiser to use an SSD with Pro… But I do not have Pro. I have slim. BTW, you can google “PS4 Pro SSD Test”, and see the results.
There is a PS5 that has an Enormously fast SSD (fastest in the world), so, why would I spend money to upgrade my PS4 slim with SSD, when I can save the money for the PS5? You will see the answer below.

So, with all those downsides, why did I do it? Because for exactly 1 reason. I wanted to Capture gameplay using SHARE button faster! Yes! It could take 15 seconds to save 5 minute gameplay, which is too long for me and I was losing time when playing online with friends. And it was too long for Single Player. And every time, while saving, I was very anxious about the PS4 failing to record because of reasons.

And now the result!
PS4 switches ON 33% faster
Main menu and store works with much less lag
Capture menu appears faster
Capturing video takes 3 secs TOPS

Also I have decided to move Fortnite to SSD, because I play it a lot, and there was enough space for it. But, basically, Fort does not benefit from SSD. No faster loading, yada yada…

My SSD is Western Digital BLUE 240GB, 2.5’’ , here is the link:
