You can't just buy any 2.5 inch drive, it's also gotta be 9.5mm thick, which is why the Spinpoint linked above is always recommended. If you wanna save a few bucks, you can buy this external, which has the Spinpoint inside of it. You'll have to open up the enclosure and remove the HD, but you can then put your old PS4 HD back into the enclosure and have a 500gb external, which is what I did.

If you have an extra 500gb external laying around, you can use the "Backup & Restore" feature that was introduced in a previous PS firmware update. I used it not long after, and it worked like a charm. Here's my post from the Playstation thread with the details. Otherwise, yes, you'll have to re-download all your games and apps.

I just put this on my wish list. Is there anything else I need to buy, or do I just take out the original and put the new one in? What happens once I turn on the power? Will it download the ps software automatically, or do I need to do that too? Never done any of this so that's why I'm asking. Should I get the 2 year a data recovery plan?

You need to install the PS software. Click this link, then scroll all the way to the bottom where it says "Perform a New Installation of the System Software". It gives you the link to download the file, and details how to install it.

Terabyte ps4 would be way more expensive than getting a new hard drive. It was cheaper to get my hard drive online. No telling if u can find the ones u need in store. Why not order online?
