Ps4 pro download failed

I still thought this just might be a bug of the specific game causing a logical issue. Something that could normally be fixed easily by a chckdsk-tool. Well then it happened again in another game after quite a while though.

I even reinstalled most of my games filling the hdd by then without any issues. But again it was just lost effort. And this time after the reinitialization I could not install anything anymore — besides the system itself. So it would boot up, but anything I tried to download or install from disk has failed. An I did not even get to the safe mode menu anymore. Quite clearly my hdd has died… and I also got familiar with the whole reinstall procedure.

I also started to feel a bit of regret — why did I buy a console? Since I wanted a plug and play experience without having to be an IT expert. Anyhow, luckily I got a secondary 1TB hdd in my laptop. Before I buy one, I wanted to try to insert that. I did this procedure 4 or 5 times from the same stick I still use. After I get some warnings that I need to reinstall the system with version 8. And I thought others are bad with those :. Anyhow after I have read your thread here, I think the hdd should be just fine.

It also worked and still works just fine in my laptop. Currently I am formatting the original hdd just to test how it works, but it does behave strangely and emits strange noises sometimes while finally being able to format.

My problem is, that I am not sure that if I get a new hdd it will be different. The hdd from my laptop should work just fine. I think it may by somehow cause this problem. Hi, sorry for the double posting, please delete my second identical post below. My original posting seemed to be lost when I revisited.

I then could reinitialize my system without any errors. So the hdd seems to be absolutely unusable. I have reinstalled some games from disk by now and downloading some smaller games also worked like a charm.

It does work fine again in my laptop though. I have to say, I would not have accomplished this without your page, which really gives some great support. As for the first point, the original PS4 Pro hard drive seems very damaged and must be disposed of. The clicking noise is a very clear sign of the end of its life. As for SSDs, they are light on power, so with the power shortage your console undergoes, the SSD can easily accommodates to this situation. I reckon this is a very logical explanation for your case, and eventually specialized tests can prove it right or wrong.

Thanks for your quick and helpful answers. I will try to test a different hdd when I get the chance and hope that it works, to make sure the problem is not caused by a power issue. I could bring up the reasoning against this theory, that with the original hdd it still went through the reinitialization procedure many times without any errors and still even booted up when I already got the error message with the laptop hdd.
