What causes the Playstation hard drive faults?
Due to the technology of hard drives (HDD) and software they can unfortunately fail. Bad updates and/or problems with game saves can cause issues. Sometimes a PS4 HDD corruption can be caused by the user though, a bad drop or liquid damage for example. Also, anyone who tries modding their console can cause issues with the HDD and firmware.
How do we repair the PS hard drive faults?
The first thing we do is test the hard drive to see if the fault is software or hardware based. The software we use to conduct the test will tell us if there are errors with the software on the hard drive, or if the hard drive itself is beyond repair.
If the software is corrupt then we will fix this under the cheaper PS4 Firmware Repair option. If the hard drive has bad sectors we will replace it.
Some people choose this option to increase the size of the hard drive. We will transfer your data onto the new hard drive so you don't lose your saved games.
