3 Ways Download Faster on the PS4

Here are three secrets to faster PS4 downloads that you might not know.

Method 3 – SSD Install

This is the most expensive method of the bunch, but will make your PS4 gaming that much easier and enjoyable because your whole system's speeds will improve. Solid State Drives (SSDs) are better than the traditional hard drives because they have no moving parts, which means the SSD is not restricted by anything mechanical. This means that information can travel faster, both to and from your SSD.

If you decide to install a SSD, you should see an overall improvement with your download speeds and game load times. In addition to this, though, your PS4 will run quieter and cooler because your drive has no moving parts. One of the main reasons your PS4 usually gets hot and sounds like a jet engine at times is because your hard drive produces heat, which the PS4 needs to cool down. It's possible that the next generation of consoles may have SSD's because of this problem, but until now, you'll have to change from HDD to SSD yourself if you want to make the switch.
