Swapping the drive itself is extremely simple-all you need is a screwdriver. IвЂ™m using this Western Digital Blue model, which offers great performance for the price. You donвЂ™t have to worry too much about choosing the fastest possible SSD, but you will need to make sure you buy a 2.5-inch model-not the M.2 SSDs that have become popular in PCs recently. Every game is different, though, and some may not see as noticeable benefits-but hey, when youвЂ™re sitting there waiting, every second counts. It wonвЂ™t make loading times instantaneous, but it can decrease them by 10 to 20 seconds or more. IвЂ™m not generally a вЂњlaunch dayвЂќ kind of buyer, so even this late in the PS4вЂ™s lifespan, an SSD has been a nice upgrade. The 5400 RPM hard drive that comes with the PS4 and PS4 Pro is bone-chillingly slow. In the meantime, you can upgrade your current consoleвЂ™s drive to an SSD, and breathe new life into an aging gaming machine.

SonyвЂ™s upcoming PlayStation 5 has a fancy, built-in SSD, but until that console materializes, youвЂ™re stuck with agonizingly slow loading times on the PS4. (Photo by David Caudery/T3 Magazine/Future via Getty Images)
