Either way, give the above advice a shot and see if it helps. We'll update this story if we find more tips. With over 7 years of experience with in-depth feature reporting, Steven's mission is to chronicle the fascinating ways that games intersect our lives. Whether it's colossal in-game wars in an MMO, or long-haul truckers who turn to games to protect them from the loneliness of the open road, Steven tries to unearth PC gaming's greatest untold stories.
His love of PC gaming started extremely early. Without money to spend, he spent an entire day watching the progress bar on a 25mb download of the Heroes of Might and Magic 2 demo that he then played for at least a hundred hours. It was a good demo. As you can see, install times remained roughly the same as the original HDD, however boot up times were much faster.
Loading times in game were also reduced and we didn't experience any stuttering or slow frame rates.
All things considered, if storage space is a concern, and you don't mind waiting a bit longer for install times, a hybrid SSHD is a good choice for your PS4. However, if you really want to speed things up, you can't beat a true SSD. Want to know how to upgrade your Playstation 4's storage drive? Read on for the full story below. If you've just picked up Sony's new Playstation 4 console, you'll soon discover that it has one piece of hardware that can severely bottleneck your performance.
As we mentioned in our review, all PS4 games need to be installed to the console's hard drive, with each game requiring about GB of storage space. But if you thought 'next-gen' meant the end of waiting for game data to install, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
And while most games do at least let you play part of the game while data is installing, some, like NBA 2K14 , restrict you to only the most basic game functionality. As for in-game performance, if you've noticed stuttering and jerky frame rates, particularly during cut scenes and movies, that's your PS4's HDD struggling to load the relevant data.
But if you really want to speed things up, you'll want a full fledged SSD. Do note that, while SSDs have been dropping in price, they're still rather expensive, so be prepared to trade some storage capacity in exchange for faster performance. The download speed almost doubled and the upload speed was almost 10 times better. You can see the results for yourself below:.
Using a WiFi network can affect your speeds as well, especially considering the fact that the standard PS4 supports only 2. So, connecting directly using a LAN cable would be a much better option to improve your download speeds on the PS4. Well, the procedure is far from complicated and takes only a few minutes.
