can we got to stop we just have to stop so you guys may have seen a little video called building the ultimate ps4 where Ken picked out a selection of accessories of varying actual usefulness well today the ps4 pros turn first off we have the crucial MX 300 SSD so the ps4 pro comes stock with a one terabyte hard drive but it's a pretty slow mechanical drive whereas with the MX 300 we're getting much faster game load times with a full SSD installing a drug is pretty easy what you do is sort of pry off this little piece on the back of the ps4 with a Phillips screw driver there's just a single screw holding the standard hard drive in place so once we pull the stock hard drive out there are just four screws that hold it in the cage and we can just drop the SSD in now like I said you can use a hard drive or an SSD because we're building the ultimate ps4 pro having that faster speed is nice but if you just want more storage space this is a really easy way of doing it just make sure you're using a two and a half inch drive it's no more than nine point five millimeters thick but say a terabyte isn't enough space for your ps4 well that's where this game drive comes in so this is a USB hard drive with an additional two terabytes of capacity so this is a specific ps4 branded Drive but it actually really doesn't matter pretty much any USB 3.0 hard drive that's over 256 gigs of capacity should work so all these do is plug it into one of the USB ports on the back and now we're up to three terabytes with our ps4 pro but that's not even close to being done next we have a cooling fan for the ps4 pro now in our building the ultimate ps4 Xbox one videos we did try these inner coolers and on the Xbox it was basically useless and on the ps4 maybe a little bit less so so when you consider that the ps4 pro has so much power without a ton of ventilation in theory something like this could work but I'm a little suspicious so something like this oh yeah okay I mean I actually do kind of appreciate how it does sort of follow up with the little kind of triple stack design it actually doesn't look too crazy although it's falling off already around back there are two fan speed settings as well as an auto mode so I guess when the ps4 Pro gets hot this will start kicking up the fans the only real issue here besides the that's probably not going to do anything is that it is powered via USB you know normally this will be fine you plug it into the port back here and no issues however because we're starting to load up more and more accessories we're running out of ports or so you think this is a USB hub for the ps4 Pro and yeah things are about to get goofy in here so just like the cooling fan this should snap right into the front of the ps4 Pro so it takes up both of the USB ports in exchange gives us four USB 2.0 as well as the USB 3.0 yes okay that uh that Archie does kind of fit so things are starting to look just a little bit goofy with the ps4 Pro however it's time to take it up a notch so this is the G story gaming monitor for the ps4 pro now the idea is just like the ps1 this is a game market that will actually go on top of your ps4 so you know how many people were complaining when the ps4 Pro came out that it looked a little bit like an Oreo with the triple stack design well I feel like this is gonna improve things with a quadruple stack design fun so I think we just used these little clips hold it into place yeah actually not too bad alright so that that is looking a lot more like the ultimate ps4 Pro you sometimes when we're doing a video I just have to kind of like take a step back and go oh wow right this is my job I get to do this this is like a thing I can do every day here we go yes so the first thing I'm noticing this monitor is actually not bad it is full 1080p this might look totally impractical but because the display doesn't add anything to overall footprint of the ps4 Pro it actually could make sense that tight area such like a desk or in a dorm room the panel itself also isn't too bad so yes it's not going to be quite the same experience as a full 4k gaming monitor but the color and especially the contrast is a lot better than I would expect for $210 not that after formatting our USB Drive we now see that in addition to our one terabyte SSD we also have two terabytes available on that hard drive now this is actually a really useful thing for Xbox as well as ps4 then it makes it a lot simpler to be able to just plug something in load a ton of games on it and especially when we have an SSD the games that you play a lot you should keep on the internal drive but set that you only play occasionally just throw it on the hard drive and forget about it the cooler is a little bit harder to justify so yes if you take a look at it it is doing something as far as being able to exhaust more air out of the ps4 Pro but it's much louder than the ps4 by itself and it's not like it's going to keep it from bottlenecking or and give you any extra performance the USB hub is also a little bit questionable so while it is nice to have that USB 3.0 pass-through as well as the four additional ports we are actually having some problems plugging into the hard drive it kept sort of disconnecting which makes me think that this might be something easy to skip so this is the ultimate ps4 Pro when it actually turned out better than I was expecting so as always links to all these parts will be in the description and I'm curious what do you guys think about our ultimate ps4 Pro let me know in the comments below and I will catch you on the next one
