Building the Ultimate PS4 Pro #Helpful Post

can we got to stop we just have to stop

so you guys may have seen a little video

called building the ultimate ps4 where

Ken picked out a selection of

accessories of varying actual usefulness

well today the ps4 pros turn first off

we have the crucial MX 300 SSD so the

ps4 pro comes stock with a one terabyte

hard drive but it's a pretty slow

mechanical drive whereas with the MX 300

we're getting much faster game load

times with a full SSD installing a drug

is pretty easy what you do is sort of

pry off this little piece on the back of

the ps4 with a Phillips screw driver

there's just a single screw holding the

standard hard drive in place so once we

pull the stock hard drive out there are

just four screws that hold it in the

cage and we can just drop the SSD in now

like I said you can use a hard drive or

an SSD because we're building the

ultimate ps4 pro having that faster

speed is nice but if you just want more

storage space this is a really easy way

of doing it just make sure you're using

a two and a half inch drive it's no more

than nine point five millimeters thick

but say a terabyte isn't enough space

for your ps4 well that's where this game

drive comes in so this is a USB hard

drive with an additional two terabytes

of capacity so this is a specific ps4

branded Drive but it actually really

doesn't matter pretty much any USB 3.0

hard drive that's over 256 gigs of

capacity should work

so all these do is plug it into one of

the USB ports on the back and now we're

up to three terabytes with our ps4 pro

but that's not even close to being done

next we have a cooling fan for the ps4

pro now in our building the ultimate ps4

Xbox one videos we did try these inner

coolers and on the Xbox it was basically

useless and on the ps4 maybe a little

bit less so so when you consider that

the ps4 pro has so much power without a

ton of ventilation in theory something

like this could work but I'm a little

suspicious so something like this oh

yeah okay I mean I actually do kind of

appreciate how it does sort of follow up

with the little kind of triple stack

design it actually doesn't look too

crazy although it's falling off already

around back there are two fan speed

settings as well as an auto mode so I

guess when the ps4 Pro gets hot this

will start kicking up the fans the only

real issue here besides the

that's probably not going to do anything

is that it is powered via USB you know

normally this will be fine you plug it

into the port back here and no issues

however because we're starting to load

up more and more accessories we're

running out of ports or so you think

this is a USB hub for the ps4 Pro and

yeah things are about to get goofy in

here so just like the cooling fan this

should snap right into the front of the

ps4 Pro so it takes up both of the USB

ports in exchange gives us four USB 2.0

as well as the USB 3.0 yes

okay that uh that Archie does kind of

fit so things are starting to look just

a little bit goofy with the ps4 Pro

however it's time to take it up a notch

so this is the G story gaming monitor

for the ps4 pro now the idea is just

like the ps1 this is a game market that

will actually go on top of your ps4 so

you know how many people were

complaining when the ps4 Pro came out

that it looked a little bit like an Oreo

with the triple stack design well I feel

like this is gonna improve things with a

quadruple stack design fun so I think we

just used these little clips hold it

into place yeah actually not too bad

alright so that that is looking a lot

more like the ultimate ps4 Pro you

sometimes when we're doing a video I

just have to kind of like take a step

back and go oh wow right this is my job

I get to do this this is like a thing I

can do every day here we go yes so the

first thing I'm noticing this monitor is

actually not bad it is full 1080p this

might look totally impractical but

because the display doesn't add anything

to overall footprint of the ps4 Pro it

actually could make sense that tight

area such like a desk or in a dorm room

the panel itself also isn't too bad

so yes it's not going to be quite the

same experience as a full 4k gaming

monitor but the color and especially the

contrast is a lot better than I would

expect for $210 not that after

formatting our USB Drive we now see that

in addition to our one terabyte SSD we

also have two terabytes available on

that hard drive now this is actually a

really useful thing for Xbox as well as

ps4

then it makes it a lot simpler to be

able to just plug something in load a

ton of games on it and especially when

we have an SSD the games that you play a

lot you should keep on the internal

drive but set that you only play

occasionally just throw it on the hard

drive and forget about it the cooler is

a little bit harder to justify so yes if

you take a look at it it is doing

something as far as being able to

exhaust more air out of the ps4 Pro but

it's much louder than the ps4 by itself

and it's not like it's going to keep it

from bottlenecking or and give you any

extra performance the USB hub is also a

little bit questionable so while it is

nice to have that USB 3.0 pass-through

as well as the four additional ports we

are actually having some problems

plugging into the hard drive it kept

sort of disconnecting which makes me

think that this might be something easy

to skip so this is the ultimate ps4 Pro

when it actually turned out better than

I was expecting so as always links to

all these parts will be in the

description and I'm curious what do you

guys think about our ultimate ps4 Pro
