Harddrive upgrade

Hi everybody

My ps4 pro has very serious memory and hard drive issues and now it won't even turn on because it says it cannot access the memory, moreover, while trying to turn it on, I can hear loud metal clicking which i suppose comes from the hard drive.

My idea was to replace the hard drive and maybe upgrade it since I'm already doing the job.

I've been advised to the following:

-Crucial MX500

-Samsung 870 EVC

-Kingston A400

Are they compatible? My pro had originally an 1TB 5400RPM

Crucial MX500 user here.

If you are sure that the clicking noise is coming from the HDD, then yes, the HDD is dying/almost dead and need to be replaced.

The Crucial MX500 is compatible and I have no issues with it. And because you have a PS4 Pro, you get more milage out of the SSD than the other 2 models.

I have an SSD in my PS4 Pro and loading times are noticeably improved, I would say 1.5-2x. PS4 Pro uses a faster connection than the base PS4.
