SATA 2.5" with max height of 9.5mm<ref>Sony lists compatibility as 9.5mm height, physically a 12.5mm can also fit, though a bit snuggly. Tried it with an ancient ST9190AG 0.504" 12.80mm (measured 12.3mm) drive, including the sled as usual</ref>, minimal storage size 160GB ([http://tweakers.net/categorie/50/interne-harde-schijven/producten/#filter:TY1BCoQwDEXv8tdFmpa2sQdw5wlkFiJdFHQQHUSQ3t3UjZNFwkse-RfWLU-pz19ErbCvaery_EvbjniBdFvHUq8gr6WgsIyn4EPCRcEHqtoxzogDDAeRDLN069jiIwrbf4WYzLMmH_yboJv3fds4lFJu 198 HDD models], [http://tweakers.net/categorie/50/interne-harde-schijven/producten/#filter:TY1LDsMgDETvMmsUYVCAcIDueoKqiyhBKmrSRhD1o4i712STzmIs22_sDffwfT_TCI-cbyMElhSHcI4PeCmQlzCc4rSGlOE3kOxqmesW1EoWJ-b-w62Ru1AEjKWKvfoJ_gLlLEPKOXbdOo0rI07_I-RI7WMy1hwfZHOc75oWpZQf 5 SSHD models] and [http://tweakers.net/categorie/674/solid-state-drives/producten/#filter:TY1BCoUwEEPvknWRdort2AO48wSfvxDpoqAf0Y8I0rvbVlBnkSHJgxyYlzD4LvzgpMA6-6EN498vK9wBMo3Of8o1lJHpIDD1e7KaZPFRZM5kbutHuA-IbaKIOamuWeN7MfbFKFZUcmXIPhtU0T3QVDVijCc 362 SSD models] comply to that). Ofcourse if you [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Dual_Firmware#Solutions_for_swapping_.2F_externalise_the_harddrive externalise the harddrive], (e.g. with a [[Nyko]] [[:File:Nyko_Databank_PS4_-_image2.jpg|Data Bank]]) there is a whole world of 3.5" drives that are larger in storage size and also cheaper to be gotten.

SSD can be used, but it seems that on the PS4 there is even less incentive ([http://www.gtpla.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Hvx2a.png compared to PS3]) to replace the drive for a SSD, best price/performance are still 7200rpm drives or true hybrid SSHD drives

it is unsure if TRIM is enabled by default for UFS on the PS4, but on BSD in general it can be enabled with ''tune2fs -t enable'' : http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=28004 see also : http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/ssd.html
=== Size ===
* the standard 500GB [[harddrive]] is actually [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#Units 465.76 GiB] as reported by Windows
** after some [[Files_on_the_PS4#Partitions|splitting in 15 partitions]], a 420.12 GiB mainpartition is left for the user
*** on that mainpartition 408 GB is useable for the user
