Upgrading the PRO HDD Internally larger than 2TB

[Spark]

To do this you obviously need a new drive you want to install (it MUST be a 2.5" drive, a 3.5" drive cant fit internally it must be external using a sata cable and a separate power source)

I used a drive i pulled from a Seagate #SRD00F1

Need a set of Precision screwdrivers(a set from harbor freight works fine and is only 5$

Also need the recovery firmware of 4.55(or whatever firmware your ps4 has on it)

You will have a small gap (around 1/8") at the back of the console right where the drive sled is due to the metal frame bulging some. its completely un-noticeable unless your looking for it.

Also here is how to remove the security torx screws if you dont have the bit. take a small flat head (mine is one from a cheap harbor freight precision set it is stamped with 2.0 and it fits perfectly) and put it in the screw the same way that is shown in red here:

heres some pics showing what the gap looks like that i am talking about:

this one showes that its not at all visible when the ps4 is in use. the top one is the one that was just done and shown in the guide.

only 4tb 9mm that exists is the 4tb ssd (samsung)

there are many videos (google them) that show how to bend your case to fit a 15mm 2.5" (and you can use a 5TB in this case)
