The memory or storage space of game consoles is essential. Although you can always choose to have hard copies than downloading games instead --- DLC, patches, and installs can still occupy and eventually fill up the standard hard drive of your PlayStation so quickly.

Get more memory and storage space on your PlayStation 4 as you do this 15-minute process:

To start off, PlayStation 4 owners need the console, a USB flash drive with at least 16GB of storage, a 2.5 inch laptop hard drive, a Phillips-head screwdriver, and the latest operating software of PlayStation 4. You should also be aware that this might cause data loss. Prevent this by moving the date to the new hard drive. Sony can guide them to have it done as well.

Replace the hard drive, disconnecting the consoles from the power supply. Then, remove the top left chassis plate of the PS4 classic or if you have the PS4 Pro, you can remove the rear casing. Next, unscrew the hard drive bracket, as well as take out the hard drive's housing bracket. Finally, remove the four screws holding the drive in the bracket and replace the existing hard drive with a new one and screwing it in place.

After doing so, you should then be able to download from the PlayStation support site on the computer; download its operating software and connect the USB flash drive to the computer, formatting it to FAT32 --- erasing all data stored in the drive, as well as allow it to be read by the console.You can also do this on "My Computer" by right-clicking the drive, selecting Format, choosing the FAT32 option from the drop-down menu, and clicking the Start button. It should create a folder on the flash drive called PS4 and a folder within that named UPDATE, according to CNET.

Continuing from the previous instructions, you should then be able to upload the installer file to the flash drive, dropping it in the UPDATE folder. Plug the PlayStation back in afterwards, starting in "safe mode" by holding the power button for a few seconds. Select "Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)". And that's it, just run through the prompts and you can now enjoy your PS4's upgraded hard drive.
