Preparing For Database Rebuilding
While Sony claims that database rebuilding can take up to a few hours to complete, users who have performed the process can testify that it takes just a few minutes, nothing in the ballpark of an hour or even half of it. Something to note in this regard is that your system actually automatically performs a database rebuild each time it updates and also when you switch it on after not shutting it off correctly. A 1 terabyte PS4 Pro should take just a few minutes and you can expect other variants of the Play Station to take similar database rebuilding times. In any case, don’t carry out this procedure when you’re short on time or have a game set up. Take out a solid half-hour window to perform this procedure, perhaps account for an entire hour to be on the safe side (while we don’t anticipate it taking beyond 10 minutes).

Final Thoughts
Database rebuilding can be a smart and effective way to speed up your Play Station’s system and game performance. The process takes just a few minutes and can be done directly from the safe boot up menu without requiring any external connections or software downloads. This process is less invasive as compared to the disk defragmentation procedure which physically moves data around, and it achieves the same effect by simply remapping data locations in the system’s database for quicker hunting and access.
