Sony PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB Console: Black

Product Information

We break down the specs, features, and price of the PS4, PS4 Slim, and PS4 Pro and let you know which PlayStation 4 is right for you.

What's the difference between the PS4 Slim and the PS4 Pro? The PS4 Slim is essentially a slimmer, cheaper and better-looking version of the original PS4. In contrast, the PS4 Pro is more premium and can play games in 4K Well, there’s no one decisive answer to this question. In fact, it solely depends on user’s needs. The overwhelming majority of PS4 users find 1tb capacity is pretty much enough. Whereas enthusiasts find it very limited and insufficient. Furthermore, you have to bear in mind a very important point here. You won’t really get a complete 1tb storage space out of the 1tb SSD. Why? Calculating the Actual size Consequently, with a simple calculation, you can deduce that you’ll actually get 931gb out of your 1tb SSD on PS4 instead of 1024gb. Usable Space on PS4 1tb SSD

Eventually, the 860 Evo is the best 1tb SSD for PS4 in terms of performance without having to break open their piggy banks. Here are the major benefits you can acquire after upgrading your PS4 HDD to 1tb SSD or any other capacity. Best of all, the 860 Evo isn’t some overpriced luxury: the cost per gigabyte is perfectly reasonable for a 2.5in SSD of this calibre, at 32.8p for 250GB, 30.4p for 500GB, 29.6p for 1TB, 30.8p for 2TB and 31.3p for 4TB. The PS4 Pro also uses a SATA III-based storage interface, as opposed to the SATA II-based solution of the original model. This means if you install an SSD in the PS4 Pro, it can be dramatically faster and reach theoretical speeds of six Gbps. While the PS4 Pro comes with a hard drive, its one TB allotment is twice as capacious as the PS4's HDD before it. However, one upgrade that applies to the entire range of PS4s, the PS4 Slim included, is HDR support. This adds greater detail to light sources in an image, and is pretty much a staple in TV tech these days.

Thousands of customers were happy with Seagate Firecuda drive, and I don’t deny that, on the other hand, there were people had bad experience with it, and you’re one of them. This drive comes in varied capacities ranging from 120gb to 1tb and with a 3-year limited warranty. SSD Benefits for PS4 Console There are some under-the-hood improvements as well. The Slim now supports 5GHz Wifi, which is generally faster than the 2.4GHz wireless band of the original console, provided you have a router that can take advantage of it. The Slim also supports Bluetooth 4.0, which is more power-efficient and offers better wireless audio performance. Another new addition that the Slim features is USB 3.1 support, which is up to two times as fast as the original's 3.0 ports. The 1tb SSD capacity is suitable for most PS4 users, as long as an external storage is used. Although average users can still go for lower capacities and save money, enthusiasts find 1tb SSD very small still. But all agree that an SSD is something so appealing to obtain if they want a better PS4 gaming. The only thing that holds them off is price. With a September 2016 firmware update, all PS4 SKUs support HDR. This includes the original model, the Slim, and the Pro. Are there any user interface differences between the PS4 and PS4 Pro?If, however, you aren’t all that interested in the latest hardware with its 4K bells and whistles and you just want a machine that’ll help you catch up with the PS4’s fantastic library of games, then the PS4 Slim is an option that might just suit you. Read on for more detailed thoughts on the console. The Crucial MX500 is one of the top performing PS4 compatible SSDs, and perhaps more important, it’s one of the more affordable. It ends up delivering an incredible value. It remains the first choice for the price-conscious buyers, but the 860 Evo’s offer overall just a bit better performance and score even better in terms of consistency. Whether you’re going to notice that in practice, remains a question, but Samsung undeniably offers a slightly better product for a little more money.

(sold separately) Afterwards you need to cut off 15% of the total capacity of SSD to keep it running at its peak performance. That’s what SSD manufacturers’s advice. Accordingly this means almost 120gb of the total capacity will be untouched and you’ll only have approximately 740gb of usable storage space. But what does that mean eventually? Is 740gb Space Enough? The Slim doesn’t make a ton of improvements over the original PS4. If you already own a perfectly functional PS4, it doesn’t make much sense to get the Slim. Furthermore, if you want a more powerful PlayStation, the PlayStation 4 Pro is what you want. PS4/PS4 Slim vs PS4 Pro
