Hi guys. Just want to ask.

Last week received my PS4 pro CUH-7106B

Is it worth to change from HDD to SSD?
Planning to change to Samsung EVO 860 500GB.
Mostly game will be played by CD.

And will it void the warranty?

Bigger capacity is better than faster loading time for PS4. A lot of games need have big install size.

PS4 Pro did not come with 1TB? Why want to downgrade?

Already comes with the 1TB but thinking to swap with ssd and old drive as external drive. Right now surveying only blush.gif

1TB to 500GB SSD is an UPGRADE.

I go down that route, for games that has long loading times, I moved them to system storage. Other games are all in my External Storage.

MHW for one with long loading time dropped from 30seconds to 7 seconds for me.

Game Discs are not used once they're installed, they are only used for 1 time "copy" to your PS4 drive, and then the disc is just used as a "key" to start the game, games are still loaded from your hard drive.

Yep. So the games loading time in external storage dropped also?
