Replacing the hard drive on a PS4 is pretty straightforward. First, power off and unplug your console. Next, slide the HDD bay cover off and unscrew the single screw holding the drive caddy in place. Swap the old drive with a new one, reassemble, and reinstall the system software using a USB drive. Boom, you're done!
