Ps4 cannot start, attach USB... etc

Hi there, I have an issue with my hard drive. Ps4 cannot start, attach USB... I would like to recover the data and might as well upgrade my hard drive.

I shut it down properly as I always do the night before then the next day after turning it on, the ps4 logo appears then screen goes black for awhile. I think there’s a problem with the internet as my connection is tampered with so I unplug it then plug it back in. It starts up and tries to do what looks like a rebuild data base operation then stops at roughly 24- 26% then Cannot start PS4, connect USB with 6.20 or later etc

I have tried all options in the safe mode menu except the last two, there’s gaming clips I would like to try save of my bro in laws idle minions trying to harass and bully me online that I intend to forward to the police.

i have also come across websites claiming I can retrieve data from ps4 hard drive with their software by connecting it to a pc, has any one been successful?

Any help would be appreciated.

Install another hard drive to see if it boots.

Don’t bother with trying to get the data back. PS4 drive is encrypted and basically impossible to read out with anything else.

It's almost always a bad hard drive or corrupt OS when it's stuck at 25% checking hard drive data or system update.
