I decided to upgrade my console's hard drive to an SSD in order to breathe new life into my aging gaming machine. PlayStation Plus subscribers can ditch the USB drive and back up to the cloud. PlayStation 4 Pro: Turn the unit around and look for the hard drive cover to the right of the ports. Remove the screw that lives under it and slide out the hard drive cage. You can also open the Reinstall PS4 system software drop-down to view Sony's instructions.
