Hello!

I have A PS4-CUH-1216A. I love my Little Console, so A while Back I decided to Upgrade it from HDD => SSD (256 GB Western Digital Blue). Everything worked fine and smoth!

Until The One Day where I Downloaded Patch 10.50... It keep repeating telling me:

"Your Data is corrupted" for EVERY SINGLE GAME!. I thought My PS4 was broken because the SSD definitley wasnt the Problem. So I took the SSD And used it in my Computer ( I work as a Computer Engeneer btw). In my Computer it worked without any Problems. So I decided to do a fresh new install. new USB Stick, New Update file, PS4 10.50 new installed.

Same problems after short of time. I thought Maybe the Ps4 after 7+ Years finally decided to kick the Bucket or sony did something wrong

One Day I read in a Topic from someone who changed the HDD and I thought about: Why not? It's broken already so It cant get any worse.

I took an stone old Toshiba HDD 5200 rpm from my old ones and installed it into my ps4, following installing the firmware, Games, etc.... and guess what? No Problems? It works like charm!

So I thought about: Lets do something really interesting... Just buy a new SSD with 1 tb and install it. Its always possible that old SSDs might get broken after time. So I ordered a new one, installed it and boom: => Corruption errors reappeared!

I dont know If my PS4 just hates SSDs from now on but with my stone old HDD i can play without any problems!
