5min to 2hrs might be for normal hard drives or SSHHD ones. If it's a solid state hard drive, it probably does the rebuild significantly faster than the generic time frame given.
I was always afraid to do that and in 5 years I didn't do it, but today I decided and it went perfectly. in 3 minutes. Now my console is running much faster and I haven't lost any of the data. Thanks man!👌👍
It improves overall performance as well as cleans any Viral programs the console may have picked up on the net! Update 7.50 is a SoB so keeping a Clean CPU is a good thing.
I owned a few variations of the PS3. the slim would take about 8 to 12 hours to DOA format, while the rebuild database was always less then 20 seconds. I owned 2 super slims and the first would do complete format in under 10 mins, 500gb btw and rebuild also a few seconds. while the second one would format 500gb drive in under 5min but rebuild database would take about 10 to 20 minutes. tried these all with content and cleaned HDs and multiple times. I honestly can't figure out why the massive differences. all I can guess is that it's maybe the quality of the hardware used, maybe some models have not the greatest ram or GPUs etc. anyway just wanted to drop that.
I thought the PS3 vs Xbox 360 was so corny when I was a kid. Now that I am older seeing them same people argue is just...🤔 well disappointing I guess. Y'all reppin a console like it's ur hood😂 Tbh I wish we all had pcs cuz crossplay broke asf
@@hulktatt you need to clean the fan and cooling radiator on your ps4. it gets clogged and the fan has to constantly run due to the heat being unable to dissapate.
If you have the cuh-7000, 7015b, 7016b models of the pro it being loud is actually pretty normal it can get as loud as 55dbs clean fans or not, thermal paste isn't so much a problem on consoles either, but if you have the cuh-7200 models the one with the different power cable they are quieter if that's being loud maybe a clean is needed or a new location, alot of people changed thermal paste on the older models thinking it was getting too hot but it was just the model itself you'll know if it's too hot you'll get a blue screen telling you so if not it's running within it's safe parameters same with xbox they are designed with the sole purpose of gaming heat long hours and all that
I know this vid was 3 years ago, i might clear up the concerns of some who might come to this vid later. I did exactly what the video was told with my ps4 pro, i have it for 7 years now and this is the first time i defrag it, and after that its smooth as butter, hiccups are gone, fast as day one. No game saves nor data was gone. Definitely worth it. 👍
@@jasont5031 If it is sounding like a jet it is most likely the heat sink and fan are plugged up and your ps is overheating so the fan has to run full speed. My daughters ps4 would sound like that after running for awhile and it was pretty annoying. I pulled it apart and the heat sink was so clogged there was almost no air flow. Cleaned the heat sink and fan and it now runs smoother and runs quiet.
@@m3lod552 sounds like a sad but great story at least the PS4 is now free to roam the universe, oops sorry I think I believed your story a bit too much 😂
Just be warned, all your folders will be erased but not your games, so if you had them all organised you will probably have to redo your folders again. Then some of the games you forgot about will automatically install updates, which is a bonus in a way, but can take a long time if you have a lot of games on an external hard drive like myself
@@DysfunctionalMisfitGaming iirc everything actually was as I had it before trying this, including my folders/settings. Not sure why OP said they would be deleted though. Perhaps results vary with each model.

Most definitely like I said n I've had it for about 4 years since the 500gb slim was released/uncharted 4 bundle. It cleared up almost 100gb of crap off of it and the load times seem much quicker even download times it seems. If you paired this process with a solid state drive on a ps4pro you could have much faster load times
When I did this for some reason I was unable to see a game so I had to go to the play store and I saw that I still have it so I had to start it from there, any reason why I couldn’t see it?
I actually did this earlier today. I started playing Shadow of The Tomb Raider and noticed it was frame skipping... So I rebuilt the database and it has fixed it. It definitely helps if your PS4 is starting to lag.
I will try. I think this is maybe related to indexing things in the hard drive. When we delete a game it’s not really deleted. It’s still there until that section of the HD is used again. So, it’s like defragmenting and indexing the thing again. I am thinking it may need to have some free space to actually work.

@@bleach393 Oh, I'm sorry your highness... Did you actually listen to what is said in the video? He explicitly instructs people to keep holding the power button until the setup screen shows up. I was merely trying to help. FFS!
Did this about an hour ago. With an external drive. Took 60 secs. Moves even faster. What floors me the most is that even LOOKS better. Which I wasn't expecting. Using a ps4 pro. Subscribed.

Bro do you know what a legend and a lifesaver you are you don’t understand how much you helped me you helped me better than Sony did read my comment and listen to this. So I got this new System software update Version 9.04 and it completely bugged out my console and account. I couldn’t access my profile or my friends profiles what’s new wouldn’t load overviews of games would load anymore. It was a nightmare that one update completely stopped me accessing important things on a PlayStation 4 pro. So I rang Sony and told them the problems they told me that I needed to rebuild the database and gave me a step-by-step instruction on how to do it but it didn’t work no matter how many times I follow their instruction I couldn’t get to the rebuild database page. And then I found your video on how to rebuild the database and it worked the first time. You helped me better than Sony did now my PlayStation 4 pro is fully back to normal fully fixed and working as if nothing ever happened. Thanks so much for your help mate your amazing and awesome. I hope you get the chance to read my comment because I just wanted to let you know how much you helped me. YOU JUST GOT A NEW SUBSCRIBER GREAT WORK MATE. Now I will never miss a video because I turned on the notification bell 🔔❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Eliseo Hernandez all the files that were corrupted or unneeded got deleted. When I would browse through the home screen and store the menus were really laggy and it fixed that.
No going to lie, I was about a minute and 10 seconds into the video and I started to think this is a troll guide the way you kept mentioning the power button lol but a quick glance at your like ratio put me at ease hehe.
Don't always trust the like ratio. I've seen troll videos where there were more likes than dislikes and almost all the comments were also trolls pretending like the guide was legit.
@@MrRottenikken this is probably a bit helpful if you do it once in a while. But to make it better you must swap out the old thermal paste on the cpu/heatsink with liquid metal. This is only safe if you have the ps4 pro, if you have the regular ps4 just swap out the old thermal paste with new thermal paste. This will make the heat out of your ps4 better and your console will be cooler and make less noise. Just check out UA-cam videos for the content and how to do it. I have liquid metal in my ps4 pro heatsink and it's very quiet and increases the lifespan👍
Wow I legit thought this was gonna be clickbait but it's just really good advice. Even the thumbnail is relevant to the video. Thanks for the great video man!
Just did it, it took about 1 minute and I highly recommend it, amazing, my ps4 has sounded like an airplane jet for months but is now dead silent, thanks mate
oNe BonJo Definitely worked for me. I have the OG PS4 also and it was super smooth after this. I recommend doing it every couple of months or whenever you notice it getting slow. Hope that helps

MUCH respect to you sir this really helped alot! I though my pro was just done with. I only had it for a year and this set it straight thank you!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I’ve had my pro for 4 years and it kept crashing but now I can enjoy gaming without any interruption

Does this solve games crashing and errors

I wonder why u tryna boost a ps4 that is built souly for running the games u have andddddddd tf u mean it boost ure game the simplest thing u should do if ure game has fps spikes is that ure storage is full thats 1..........2 it could only mean the system was on for god knows how long and needs a break........3ure cooling system is damaged or needs cleaning.... simple as that
I did that three times and now my ps4 is a ps6

Keep mine in "rest" to make sure updates install while I'm away

Just a minor remark: there's no need to keep holding the power button once you hear the second beep.
no shit andre
Bleach if it was so obvious then why did the guy do it in the video
@@bleach393 Oh, I'm sorry your highness... Did you actually listen to what is said in the video? He explicitly instructs people to keep holding the power button until the setup screen shows up. I was merely trying to help. FFS!
@@andrez76 Keep faith in humanity Andre. I know it's hard hahah

Did this about an hour ago. With an external drive. Took 60 secs. Moves even faster. What floors me the most is that even LOOKS better. Which I wasn't expecting. Using a ps4 pro. Subscribed.
I have a ps4 but I'm too lazy to hold my finger on the power button that long.
Derek same! Will think about doing it maybe next week. Probably never will do this due to laziness and wait till PS5.
Loll
It’s not even long I’m weak. Y’all silly.😂

Underrated comment
That is the best camera recording of a screen I’ve ever seen, it’s like a capture card but it’s not, but it’s so clean it might as well be
Lol he just took a picture of a monitor and has his footage (which was his screen recording from PS4) in the monitors screen in the picture
Pretty good idea
MrPlayDay forreal
Catharax but I don’t see the point as to why he would do that
MrPlayDay to also Show the controller
Ibo Lo only time he shows controller is safe mode and you can tell it’s not capture card there cause the light is reflecting off screen clear as day
Bro do you know what a legend and a lifesaver you are you don’t understand how much you helped me you helped me better than Sony did read my comment and listen to this.
So I got this new System software update Version 9.04 and it completely bugged out my console and account. I couldn’t access my profile or my friends profiles what’s new wouldn’t load overviews of games would load anymore. It was a nightmare that one update completely stopped me accessing important things on a PlayStation 4 pro. So I rang Sony and told them the problems they told me that I needed to rebuild the database and gave me a step-by-step instruction on how to do it but it didn’t work no matter how many times I follow their instruction I couldn’t get to the rebuild database page. And then I found your video on how to rebuild the database and it worked the first time. You helped me better than Sony did now my PlayStation 4 pro is fully back to normal fully fixed and working as if nothing ever happened. Thanks so much for your help mate your amazing and awesome. I hope you get the chance to read my comment because I just wanted to let you know how much you helped me.
YOU JUST GOT A NEW SUBSCRIBER GREAT WORK MATE. Now I will never miss a video because I turned on the notification bell 🔔❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, a recommended video that I actually needed. Thanks so much. It’s like a new ps4 now!
Is it actually bill nye
@@heathermeredith5400 of course not
What changed in the ps4??
@Eliseo Hernandez all the files that were corrupted or unneeded got deleted. When I would browse through the home screen and store the menus were really laggy and it fixed that.
@@billnye5600 what about the noise? My ps4 sounds like a fighter jet, will it reduce sound?
No going to lie, I was about a minute and 10 seconds into the video and I started to think this is a troll guide the way you kept mentioning the power button lol but a quick glance at your like ratio put me at ease hehe.
Don't always trust the like ratio. I've seen troll videos where there were more likes than dislikes and almost all the comments were also trolls pretending like the guide was legit.
BlueSparkz but this tutorial helps yes cause am freaky scared 😱 not to loose all saved games 🤣
Appened the perfect same thing to me lol
It’s completely safe I had to do after ringing PlayStation support because my PS4 was messing up
Yeah because it's the like ratio that tells you if something's factual 🤦
crazy i have to thank you this not only boosted my performance but the loud fan sound for some of my games has gone away! thank you again
Is it still working good and the fan is still quiet while playing rdr2?
@@MrRottenikken this is probably a bit helpful if you do it once in a while. But to make it better you must swap out the old thermal paste on the cpu/heatsink with liquid metal. This is only safe if you have the ps4 pro, if you have the regular ps4 just swap out the old thermal paste with new thermal paste. This will make the heat out of your ps4 better and your console will be cooler and make less noise. Just check out UA-cam videos for the content and how to do it. I have liquid metal in my ps4 pro heatsink and it's very quiet and increases the lifespan👍
Great video, vastly improved my PS4 pro performance. Thanks
Is real?
I am about to go round my house and press and hold every on button I can find, so that I can boost performance in my whole life.

Welcome to sensitive ass 2020
Me: follows instructions as described.
PS4: “So anyway, I started blasting...”

Thank you for not dragging out the video. The amount of videos of this nature that are unnecessarily dragged out is obnoxious
Love when UA-camrs say “if you want to know how to do so and so I left a link in the description” and it’s actually there.
