Certainly yes, you can clone a PS4 hard drive to SSD.

With more and more games stored on your PS4 hard drive, a substantial portion of the hard drive's storage capacity would be inevitably consumed. This situation raises the need to upgrade PS4 HDD to a larger HDD/SSD for either expanding storage or enhancing performance.

When upgrading a PS4 hard drive, you can backup your current disk to an external one and transfer the backup file to a new disk. But cloning PS4 hard drive to SSD would be a better option.

However, to backup or clone your PS4 HDD, you need to remove the PS4 disk and connect it to a computer or external hard drive enclosure. Then you can either save the backup file or utilize a utility to copy the disk. It's important to note that the PS4 disk may not offer built-in utilities for this purpose. Additionally, it's essential to be aware that there is no way to expand the partition created by cloning.
