After a power outage my HDD failed in the PS4. Instead of buying a new system, I tried this option. The HDD replacement was very easy. Ensure to select the installation file that is close to 1GB (follow directions for details). The software replacement/download was very easy to follow and worked seamlessly. Now I'm back to playing DBD.Product as described all contents were present. I am very happy that I was able to upgrade now I have over 500GB free. However, I ran into an issue with Safe Mode, which is step 3 in the manual. They do not tell you that you will need to reconnect your controller because the PS4 needs to have a secure connection with your controller to navigate the menu in safe mode. This is where I encountered my issue, after researching online some found that changing between multiple usb cables worked, some simply reset the controller, and some unplugged and reset. None of this worked for me, after searching more I found a forum where one person said that the controller has been "bricked." After multiple tries I gave up and decided to through my controller away, since my new spare one worked immediately when I plugged it up. I have never had this happen, my controller worked fine just not in safe mode which is retarded. So if you don't encounter this issue then you will be fine, just know that on step 3 when you have to reinstall the software, the PS4 will require you to connect your controller by usb, then you will see the menu and choose option "7." I am not blaming this company for this issue, its all Sony. I wanted to mention this in case someone else ran into this issue, if you do then most likely your controller will no longer work. I just bought me a new one so I can have my spare, thank goodness that I had it! Also, if your a PS Plus member then you don't have to download your game saves on the supplied 8GB usb flash drive, you can just upload all your saves. However, you will need the flash drive to download the .PUP file from playstation.com and make sure when you download the file that it is 837MB is size, NOT 258MB that is just the update. You will still need to reinstall all of your applications and themes, but its worth it. Especially, that you get to have your old 500 as an external drive for your computer or PS4!Very easy to install, just wish the instructions came with pictures because I had to watch a youtube video to know exactly what screws they were talking about that needed to be unscrewed. Make suRre youdownlosd the right update file from PlayStation.com. It is the 1 all the way at the bottom or when you click the link at the top for installing new hard drive. It should be 800 megs not the 300. Once installed you should have about 860 gBs of free space. I recommend this over a 2 TB at this pount because the 2TBs run at the same RPMs as the 500 GB that comes standard with the ps4 and after doing some research have been known to have problems and for most people over 850 GB should be plenty unless you plan on installing every single 1 of your games. I suggest jjst installing games you crrently play or plan on playing. I have 19 games installed at the time of this writing and stll have over 300 GB free space. My install times are a little faster and my ps4 overall runs smoother. I know a lot of people would sauy get a 2 TB hard drive but most have been known tio make a beeping noise after awhile and crash after about a year of use. Just consider how many games you have or plan on playing/getting when making your decision. I knoew I've only had this hArd drive for a few weeks so problems may occur but I really recommend this productI got this very quickly! I fought with my ps4 slim for several days trying everything to fix the system after my hard drive failed after doing a ps software update. I only had the console for 15 months but use it daily. This was extremely easy to install. After downloading the update/install file from Sony, be sure to change the file name to the proper one on the USB flash drive. My windows 8.1 wouldnt let me rename the computer file name without having a number after the file name, but on the flash drive I WAS able to correct the file name after copying the download file from the computer memory to the flash drive. it made my day and saved me from buying a new game console. I plan to replace the hard drive on my daughters original ps4 also because she frequently gets stuck in safe mode boot loop and we have to factory reset her system.This is practically a steal. I can't believe all you get for the price. The set up was fast and simple, however, there aren't detailed instructions. I used a YouTube video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5FJHYAfiYRsThe file I downloaded wasn't 800 mb, like stated in the video. It was something along 700 mb, so keep that in mind. Just don't use the 300 mb update! I have about 10 games, 2 of which are downloads, and I had 497.5 gb left. This is fine for me as I tend to trade in most games. However, if you have a lot of games that you keep on your hardrive, you might want to consider going with 2 TB. I may do that in the distant future. Keep in mind that you will have to copy your game saves, as everything will be deleted. I got this around 4 pm and it took until after 10 to get all my games reinstalled. The actual hardrive install took about 20 minutes tops. I totally recommend this!COPY SAVE GAMES:This wasn't mentioned in the video, so I thought I would post here.- go to settings- under settings, look for Application Saved Data Management. Click on this- go to Saved Data in System Storage- click on Copy to USB Storage System- just go into your games and click on the files you want to copy. That's it.Arrived just under a week earlier than estimated, from the US to the UK. Very easy to install, the instructions included are clear and they also provide useful video instructions too. Nice 8GB USB included too for save files. Takes a while to reinstall applications but a good price to pay for larger storage space.Really easy to follow instructions. Found it so easy to do. I'm a novice and went through the whole process in about 40 mins. Highly recommended for the novice techies like myself.i just got my hard drive so far is ok installation was super easy it actually usb stick and ps4 dose the job i was impressed i remember i did once before installation it was easy but this time was super easy lol anywas was nicely packed like a premium stuff and 8m hoping its gonna work long amd fine its more snappy and responds are faster i actually see difference its faster feels very fresh that was great buy thank youI like how the store had the exact thing i needed..
