Copying update file
Does anyone know why on the PS4 it takes almost 30 minutes just to “copy” the update file. Not to sound ignorant but isn’t that just installing after the download? Am I crazy to think that a download shouldn’t take 8 hours and an install shouldn’t take 30 minutes?

sdtlc✭✭✭✭✭Ask Sony? How big was the file, maybe the harddrive is failing?Die Qualität verhält sich nicht zwingend proportional zur Masse...

Brand new hard drive. Upgraded from 500gb to 1tb and it’s always been like this. It’s the 1.5gb update that dropped last night. It only took a few minutes to download but the copying is ridiculous. The big updates like DLCs and chapters take hours - have to start them before work. That I know is Sony because they throttle download speeds over WiFi. I’m just so perplexed. I will reach out to them directly thanks for the suggestion.Edited by UROnMyLstNrv on June 19, 2019 12:30PM0

mague✭✭✭✭✭A drive only can read or write at the same time. Thats why it takes forever on large files.0

Going an hour to copy 1.96gb that’s insane. I just wanted to kill some dragons before work. Heading over to talk to Sony.Edited by UROnMyLstNrv on June 19, 2019 12:38PM0

VenDetta0910✭✭So the way it works (thank sony for this one chaps) is when it is "copying" its literally rewriting the game on the disk drive removing old files/code etc and replacing them as it rewrites to the drive. This is why it takes so long particularly on Mechanical HDD's. My only suggestions to you lads, get a SSD or SSHD, "copying" only takes minutes tops, often less than 10 minutes rarely more than, games generally also finish and install immediately. Load times are hugely faster among other benefits. Hope this helps, cheers.Edited by VenDetta0910 on June 19, 2019 3:31PM1
