I installed a Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch ST1000LM014, and kept getting

an error message "CE-34788-0." At first I thought is was a HD compatibility issue, but I was wrong.

You have to install the FULL version firmware 1.51, which can be found here:

The standard 1.51 upgrade version is ~ 315MB (and will not work!), the full version is 850MB (and needed for hard drive upgrades).

Save the 850MB 1.51 firmware file to a USB Drive: "PS4/UPDATE", boot up in safe mode, and select "Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)"

Hope this saves you some time--my experience was a bit frustrating until I found the correct firmware file.


--The new drive works great, and I have over 850GB of free space with the PS4 O/S, COD Ghosts, Need For Speed Rivals installed on the new HD.

lol. good for you!

I didn't try (or even consider) a SSD for the PS4. Maybe a year or so from now, but the price doesn't justify it right now IMO.

I'd go for more disk space (without generating more heat), IMO. But to each his own.

thats my 2 cents Smile


wwhere to find 3tb? can u link it ?

Awesome. For a second I thought you meant SSD and as nice as that would be, a 1tb one would be kinda pricy.

From what I can see in the USA, the 308MB 1.51 UPGRADE was dropped in the UK, but not the full version (yet).

Here's the 800+ MB FULL version of 1.51 that was released in North America if you want to try it.

You need the full version for a disk replacement.

Found another post on NGU that says it has the FULL EU 1.51
