Can you believe that an SSD can last even more than 10 years in tough, heavy-workload conditions without failing? Imagine how long it can live in easier situations, like that inside a PS4 box. That means more guarantee for lifespan. There are some under-the-hood improvements as well. The Slim now supports 5GHz Wifi, which is generally faster than the 2.4GHz wireless band of the original console, provided you have a router that can take advantage of it. The Slim also supports Bluetooth 4.0, which is more power-efficient and offers better wireless audio performance. Another new addition that the Slim features is USB 3.1 support, which is up to two times as fast as the original's 3.0 ports.But that doesn't necessarily mean you should buy one. The PS4 Pro is better for those who want a premium gaming experience and have a 4K TV. If you don't have a 4K TV or money to spare, the PS4 Slim might be better for you.

The 1tb SSD capacity is suitable for most PS4 users, as long as an external storage is used. Although average users can still go for lower capacities and save money, enthusiasts find 1tb SSD very small still. But all agree that an SSD is something so appealing to obtain if they want a better PS4 gaming. The only thing that holds them off is price.

This drive comes in varied capacities ranging from 250gb to 4tb with a 5-year limited time warranty. SSD manufacturers market drives in terms of decimal (base 10) capacity. In decimal notation, one megabyte (MB) is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, one gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes, and one terabyte (TB) is equal to 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. The PS4 Slim is also a little more power-efficient overall. Whereas the original PS4 is rated to consume 250-watts, the Slim features a 165-watt thermal design power.
