'''Note:''' A raw dump of a 500 GB HDD from a never booted PS4 would take 500 GB ({{nts|500107861504}} bytes), which can be compressed to around 1.17 GB ({{nts|1168407328}} bytes) using the 7z algorithm. See [[ST500LM012]].

* These displayed sizes are the written sizes since the last time the storage statistics were reset.
* Storage statistics are apparently reset during a System Software update.
* Storage statistics are maybe stored in a file on the internal HDD.
* (b) stands for "backup" which is an inactive partition used when System Software update fails.
