PS4 copying can take ages because it's not just moving the file; it's checking for any corruption and ensuring the update will install correctly. It’s like a super cautious chef tasting each ingredient before adding it to the dish.

It's slow because the PS4 is verifying data integrity to prevent corrupted files. Think of it as your PS4 being extra careful, so you don't end up with a game that crashes.

The copying process is dragging because the PS4 is making sure everything is perfect. It's like proofreading a paper three times before submission!
