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.

good info but i think it was posted before.


and i would update using the 1.50 1st as i heard doing it with the 1.51 scews it up. not sure as i used 1.5 wheni added my 3tb

Didn't see the post before, so sorry if it's old news.

1.51 works fine as long as you use the full version, and correct 2.5" drive specs.

what is a good hdd to get for a good price

well dont get ssd its a wast but Western Digital, Seagate make good hard drives and for a 2 tb it can cost like 130

Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch ST1000LM014

its work faster because its 64mb

Have not noticed more heat or excessive fan noise since upgrading to my Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch ST1000LM014, but then again it depends on how much air flow you're getting.

FWIW-This drive is noticeably quicker than the 500GB 5400 RPM drive you get with the PS4 (for game installations). Game load times are marginally quicker, but nothing substantial.

For entertainment enclosures/tight spaces without a lot of air flow, I'd probably stick with a 5400 RPM drive with a larger HDD footprint.

At any rate, it was clear to me early on that 500GB wasn't going to cut it. For my use/needs, 1TB will work just fine. For heavy use, I'd look at a 2TB/3TB drive (but sure hope PS+ cloud storage, etc helps compensate for lesser disk space needs long term)

can you link me to the one you got please, i want to upgrade and want to keep checking out every one people is getting.



you have this installed and it works fine yeah?
