PS4 System Storage Management - 500GB harddrive

2.5" with max height of 9.5mm, minimal storage size 160GB

SSD can also be used, but it is unclear how much the PS4 can benefit from this (comparison of HDD/SSD on PS3 : http://www.gtpla.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Hvx2a.png)

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

on the standard 500GB (465.8 GiB) harddrive, there is 408 GB useable for the user, thus 57,8 GB is reserved for the systemfiles/filesystem.

Replacing the harddrive

Replacing the drive does not void warranty and can be done this way:
