Well Played, Sony [Replacing The Hard Drive in the PS4 Pro w/ an SSD]

The consensus is that the PS4 has a better system to replace the internal hard drive. Mikey puts that to the test.

Given the nature of the swap, it was expected to be a shorter video. Due to a change in editorial choices, it actually ended up being longer.

Cited Notes:
[1] Since recording this, Microsoft has added a system similar to Sony's for putting the OS on a replacement drive.
[2] At this time, no one has yet to find solid evidence of the SATA version used. It is the consensus that evidence suggests it is SATA II. If anyone finds/knows of any material evidence showing either way, please share with the comments section. Any new information will be shared here.
[3] HDCP is a method of protecting digital copyrighted content which block the signal to capture devices. The PS4 uses this but gives the option to disable it for streaming gameplay. It is on by default.

For those wondering, the tool kit used is a discontinued iFixit kit. The newer versions should have the same stuff though. https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Toolkits
(This is not a sponsored thing, it's just to clarify since people may not recognize it being an old version.)

Additional note: If you are merely wanting to improve your load times, plugging in an external SSD will be sufficient.
