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™.

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.

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).

3.7 Place the SSD into the drive bracket using the same orientation as the HDD and
screw the four side screws back into place.

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.

housing.
