I think I heard something about transfering stuff via LAN.

http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/09/08/ps4-data-transfer-ps4-pro-requires-ethernet-cable-firmware-update-4-00/

Would be a lot cooler though if I could just plug my old SSHD into the Pro and be done with it. The drivers shouldn't be all too different.

every Sony console using it's own encryption key for their hdds probably is part of their anti piracy/jailbreak measures

So how do I do it then?

First I'll copy everything from my PS4 to the PS4 Pro. Then I replace the SSHD in my PS4 with the regular 500GB HDD. Then I copy from my PS4 Pro back to the PS4. Then I put the SSHD into the Pro and copy again from the PS4 to the PS4 pro.

Seems like an awful convoluted way. And people say consoles are easier than PCs.
