So, when PS4 copying update file is slow, try to log into Rest Mode and do the updating process there. The file system or filesystem organizes the data stored on the PS4 hard drive.
It tells the PS4 operating system where files should be placed on the drive for retrieval or modification.
Formatting PS4 hard drive erases this file system completely and installs a new one in its place; all of the files on the drive are erased as well. Enthusiasts sometimes choose to reset, or format, the hard drive on their game console to improve the performance. To learn how to format the PS4 hard drive to restore its original performance, please visit this page. Game consoles like PS4 do tend to slow down as the hard drive fills up. Some of this is unrelated to the hard drive; as they age, operating systems get bogged down with extra applications and files that slow down the PS4.
However, hard drives do need empty space for virtual memory. When your RAM becomes full, it creates a file on your hard drive for the overflow tasks. If you do not have space available for this, the PS4 may slow down drastically. An SSD has an extra layer tied into free space and speed. If your SSD is nearly full to capacity, the program must find partially empty blocks, which takes longer.
That explains why PS4 updating file goes so slow and sometimes gets stuck and not moving. Older drives like the PS4 stock HDD with less capacity than a modern drive may need a little more extra space for better performance. For an SSD, the recommendation is higher — about 25 percent. Resetting the PS4 is a fairly straightforward process. Usually, this is a last-resort effort to ensure the functionality of the system.
Be sure to back up any save data you may have before starting the reset process. Factory resetting the PlayStation will erase all of your data from the system, so doing this process without backing up your save data will cause you to start from scratch.
Also, before doing the reset, make sure you deactivate the console as your primary unit, or you might later have issues accessing online content or re-loading your data onto a new or refreshed device. Your PlayStation 4 will now begin to wipe itself clean, restoring the hardware to its never-used, fresh-from-the-factory settings. The process may take more than an hour. In most cases, one of the above solutions should fix the problem. Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon Review. Presented by Warframe.

Dudes that posted in this neogaf topic is saying how their transfers only took 3 hours or so to transfer over a TB of data using the single ethernet cord between two PS4s method the same one I am currently using, with a cat6 tier cable , yet mine is still hanging at It is starting to get to me now, lol.
I might be making some progress here. MadDewg Topic Creator 4 years ago 6. God I am so bored right now. Soon I typed this message, the part it was stuck on just started going fast as hell.
I might not need this topic after all. BruceLee 4 years ago 7. Sounds like your old ps4 hard drive was on the way out or had some bad sectors or something bad for it to get stuck like that for that long. Glad its working for you now. MadDewg Topic Creator 4 years ago 8. BruceLee posted Yeah, after reading around different forums about slow transfer rate, that is exactly what it was and I definitely know its not the new ethernet cat6 cable that I bought.
I have a question that you may not know the answer to immediately but it would be great if you could find out and get back to me:. Will it cause issues having games and their DLC on different drives? If I download new DLC for an old game should I manually copy the installed game to the external drive too, so that everything is on the same drive? Or is the PS4 able to cope with bits of the same game being spread across different media?
What happens if I wanna upgrade to PS4 Pro? Can i move the games from my old PS4 to external hdd and then play them on my new console? I have many games and dont want to redownload the whole library.
Does it make any difference in terms of speed if you buy an external drive with seperate power source? I have found an old harddrive that i plugged into a USB3 enclosure and its currently formatting. So my friend is asking if its possible to copy my games to a hard drive then give it to him to where he can download the games on the hard drive, is this possible? Can I move the games back to a ps4 from the external HDD?
I assume so, but I have not seen that specific information. Are the 2 usb ports of my PS4 3. So the new games get installed on the new hard drive, but if you want to play an old game that is downloaded on the internal drive, will the PS4 automatically open it, using both drives, depending on where the games are saved? Or do you HAVE to move any game you still want to play to the new drive? I just recently bought an 8tb hard drive to go with my ps4 pro, but the capacity shows 8. Anybody have ideas on how I can fix this without having to downgrade to a 6 or 7tb?
Even while my HDD is being used? Since adding an external hard drive, disc based games that i had installed on the internal drive wont start. Update: I tried moving two of the installed games to the external drive Horizon and Yakuza 0 but neither would run still. So far got Yakuza 0 running by deleting the data and reinstalling.
Will I need to do this for all of my disk installed games or will this be patched? So today i bought a seagate 3. I plugges it in and formatted it. I then installed about 30 disc copy games i had deleted of my internal hd awhile ago to save space.
My game saves were still there. However, when i load the games ive re installed onto my new external hard drive i cant access any of my saves. Ive platinumed some of these games and id like to pick up where i have left off.
When i launch the games though it shows no gake saves and i have to start back at square one. Please help. If I download and install my games on to the external hard drive, can I play them directly from it? Or do I have to transfer them to the internal hard drive first? Please advise. Thanks in advance!
