Frequently asked questions

• Q: Will upgrading the PS4’s internal drive void my warranty? A: In many regions, opening or upgrading a console can affect warranty status. Check with Sony and your retailer for region-specific guidance. If your console is still under warranty, consider official service options before proceeding.
• Q: Does the upgrade kit improve online speeds? A: Upgrading to a 1TB SSD primarily reduces local loading times, world and level loading, and menu responsiveness. Online speeds depend on your internet connection and server conditions, not the internal drive.
• Q: Is backup required? A: Yes. To avoid losing game progress and saved data, back up your saves, captured content, and settings before replacing the drive. Use cloud saves or a USB backup for safety.
• Q: How much faster is an SSD compared to a traditional HDD in PS4? A: Expect substantially faster boot times, quicker game launches, faster in-game loading, and reduced stutter during asset streaming as the system retrieves data from the SSD more efficiently than from a conventional HDD.
• Q: What if I’m not comfortable performing the upgrade? A: If you’re unsure about handling internal components, consider professional installation or guidance from Verbatim’s support resources. The included instructions are designed to simplify the process for most users.
