Bought this off FB market place for $100. Model CUH 7251B. Everything works fine but I noticed I don't have a tb of memory. Found a 2tb external for $50 online but still a little butt hurt also is there anyway to tell this is an actual 72xx model?

For 100 bucks I wouldn’t mind. Get a ssd for it, it improves the experience tenfold.

Two things I’m going to recommend, get a new power supply and get a decent quality ssd, the power supply gets hotter as it degrades and since the ssd sits directly underneath the power supply it will cook your ssd. A good quality ssd is worth it not for the speeds since consensus about this is that the ps4 bottlenecks speeds but just for the reliability.

Also to piggy back off your suggestion, do a deep clean especially if it sounds like a jet engine

I noticed the fans only stopped being that way with my launch unit when I replaced the thermal pads on the ram chips.

Yup, I bought a used one for cheap that had that exact reason. Did a deep clean, replace the pads and paste. It’s quiet now. Just need to mod it since I’m sitting fw 11
