3. Initial Console Setup and Formatting

Once connected, your PlayStation console should detect the external hard drive. Follow the on-screen prompts to format the drive for use as extended storage. This process will erase any existing data on the drive, so ensure it is empty or backed up before proceeding.

• For PlayStation 4: The console will guide you through formatting the drive as 'Extended Storage'. Once formatted, you can install and play PS4 games directly from this drive.
• For PlayStation 5: The console will guide you through formatting the drive as 'Extended USB Storage'. You can store PS4 games and PS5 games on this drive. However, PS5 games stored on this drive must be moved back to the console's internal SSD to be played. PS4 games can be played directly from the external drive.

Operating the External Hard Drive

Storing and Playing Games

After successful formatting, your console will automatically manage game installations and transfers to and from the external drive. You can typically set the external drive as the default installation location for new games (especially PS4 games on PS5). Consult your console's system settings for specific options on moving, copying, or deleting games.
