So, just bought me a shiny new PS4 Pro. My old PS4 has a pretty full 2TB hdd with all my crap installed, so there were some upgrade transfer issues. Nothing a ruthless culling of old game install data couldn't fix. I stuffed in my trusty old 1TB SSHD, then plugged the original Pro hdd into the external case the SSHD was in and reinstalled my install data. I've got a 2TB 7200rpm SSHD Firecuda coming in in a few days, so I was wondering. Has anyone done the upgrade from a PS4 with data saved on an external to a new internal hard drive? Seems like I'm gonna have to do the back up and restore shuffle again.
Edit - So still waiting on the drive, but playing around with backup it looks like since its the same PS4, I can just back up whats on the internal, pop in the new drive, then restore those files. It doesn't give you the option to back up the external installs, presumably because they are already "back up." So the files on the external should just work after the install and restore.
