hi all, just want to ask, let say if i want to swap my hdd from ps4 to ps4 pro, can i just directly disassemble from ps4 and plug in directly to ps4 pro? does the data can recognize by ps4 pro which will not corrupt my data in hdd? thanks

no, you can't hot swap the hard disk since it is encrypted. alternatively, you can transfer your files from PS4 to PS4 Pro via Ethernet (but at a slower pace).

thanks for reply, any alternative way? Because last time i bought a 2 TB hdd for my old ps4, now i want to swap the 2tb hdd to my ps4 pro. is that mean i will need to find another hdd and transfer the data to that hdd first then do the same thing again from that hdd to 2tb hdd again after plug it to ps4 pro?

Just my 2 cents.
PS4 at the moment is enjoying the throne for console gaming. They have 4k capability, great game lists, amazing gpu/cpu architecture. I don't see the need to push for PS5 when all the best technology is readily available. Of course there's plenty of new concept or existing ones that can be developed further, such as VR, AR, but its kinda risky to ditch the PS4 for something less enticing. 8k? perhaps, but how many has 8K tv? Its my hunch that Playstation might look into their handheld first instead of the console.

Having a great engine(graphics) but without good fuel(games) to run the car(gamers experience), it's only for decoration and bragging rights.

that is a very repetitive and long process.
i would suggest you to make a back up of your game saves 1st, format the 2TB drive, plug it into the PS4 Pro and install the update. finally, reinstall all the games and updates on your PS4 Pro. this is to save you bucks from getting a new drive just for the sake of transferring.

i got keep the 500 gb hdd last time for my old ps4. is that the games and update can be transfer to HDD as well due to my internet was very slow (1mbps speed only), if i need to reinstall all the games and update, it will really take more than 1 weeks time  ...

Unless if the total capacity used in your current PS4 does not exceed 500GB, you're still safe, at least.

yes, i think should less than 500gb, is that can transfer together with the games and update?

If it makes you feel better, I went from a W600A 1080p Sony TV from 2013 to an LG E6 OLED. So look at where the budget spending has went. 

yes, it includes both the games and updates. just make sure both system are installed with the latest system update.

warranty registration need to call "1-800-81-4963"?

the upcoming PS4 Slim 500GB Hits Bundle seems good value for money.
