Steps to Replace PlayStation®4 Internal Hard Drive

What You Need

• PlayStation®4 full size system - models CUH-1000 to CUH-1200 or model CUH-1215.
• Officially supported replacement hard drive. Only the 2.5 inch internal type (9.5mm or slimmer)* and serial ATA (Parallel ATA is not supported) internal hard drives are officially supported with the PS4™ system. Proper operation is not guaranteed for all models if other drive types are used.
• Phillips screwdriver.
• Computer connected to the Internet.
• External storage device, such as a USB flash drive, with at least 1GB of free space.
   

1. Back Up Your Data

Use an external storage device to back up your entire PS4™ internal hard drive with all game, app, saved data, captures, and themes.
 

Back up data to an external storage device 

1. It’s important to sync your Trophies first since they're not included in the backup data. Go to [Trophies], press the OPTIONS button, and select [Sync Trophies With PSN].
2. Go to your PS4™ Home screen, and insert the external storage device you'd like to use for the backup into one of the PS4™ USB ports.
3. Go to [Settings] > [System] > [Back Up and Restore].
4. Select [Back Up]. 
5. Confirm which data you'd like to back up.
   • If you choose not to back up [Applications], you'll need to download or reinstall them when you eventually restore the data on the system with the backup you're creating.
   • It's important to back up [Saved Data] to avoid losing any game progress during the hard drive replacement. 
6. A progress bar will show the current status of the backup. You can cancel this any time.
7. On the next screen, you can customize the name of the backup. When done, highlight [Back Up] and press the X button.
8. Remove the external storage device from the PS4™ system.
