Players are wondering about the use and the functionality of the previous-gen console after the PS5 release. The PS4 is slower in comparison and the players are asking why does copying take so long on PS4.
The PS4 has a slower internal hard drive compared to the PS5. The copying speeds for the PS4 vary from one file to another. Some games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or Last of Us 2 are heavy games and take up almost GB worth of data on the PS4 hard drive, these type of games take longer to get copied.
As games continue getting bigger and bigger, this process will take even longer. The only way this could be sped up is if the PS4's internal processor got faster, so PlayStation fans will have to wait for a next-gen hardware change for the problem to be solved.
Luckily, the same SSD processor that will potentially end PS5 loading screens could dramatically increase the speed at which update files are copied.

One of the queries that players have is that copying the file sometimes takes longer than downloading the actual file itself.
