I have a Seagate 2tb external hard drive that I bought back in July of 2018 and still use it to this day. Great investment if your PS4 has low memory or you just have too many games.

[@bobkaboggle4445]

Outstanding tutorial! Clear and concise, nothing missed - can’t wait to try it! Thank you!

[@theevildude154]

Question mate do i have to properly remove the External HD everytime i will turn off my ps4? or can i just turn off my ps4 right away without properly removing the hard drive?

[@jedpalmer3863]

Excellent video, to someone who is not very tech savvy it was clearly presented, it was concise, easy to follow, I feel safe in the knowledge that I can follow your instructions precisely and know that it is right. I have a question : Obviously following your instructions on disconnect, can I then connect to a replacement PS4 should this one breakdown, or maybe connect to a friend's PS4 ?

[@andyc3852]

Extremely helpful step-by-step guide that helped me did exactly that! Kudos, man

Duh

[@pressuridion]

very helpful video. thank you very much. Just two questions. 1. When i insert a new game disc and it starts an installation, can this be installed on the external or it must be installed on the device so the game can be played? 2. Can i transfer full games from the device to the external and still play them?

[@matskieden511]

[@jodikohar9645]

Thank you, this was extremely helpful. Is it okay to keep the extended storage plugged into the Ps4 at all times or does it need to be disconnected?

[@jenniferskarie374]

Thanks for this video! It helped me save the day for my son and his Fortnite update.

Quick question yall, what happen if you plug this on your ps4, will it still work on PS5?

[@rikoflishas]

thanks, great video. I got a question, is it needed to eject safely before shutting down the ps4? thank you very much : )

[@GeekStreet]

No need just leave it connected permanently, nothing more to do.

[@rikoflishas]

Geek Street thanks! Now my brother can play COD xD

[@juancarlosmiranda6830]

If I don't eject it before shutting down, when I star up the ps4 again, it says that I didn't remove the hdd properly. Even if I didn't unplug the hdd

[@ikas.98]

I think it’s possible to keep your saved data on both system storage and the external hard drive, also in the online storage, you can find it in “Application Saved Data Management”, thanks.

[@Itxabdullah141]

Does this make your jailbreak loose?

[@someoneelse9743]

Thx for the nice informative video that’s the hardrive I want to get for my PS4 just would like to know can I then use it with the games on it on a ps5

[@BinoTC8]

Great video, very helpful! One question tho... when the time comes where I will be upgrading my PS4 to a PS5, will I be able to use the same WD Passport? I understand that most likely none of my PS4 apps or games will remain on the hard disk, but will it be able to reformat after switching devices for good?

[@GeekStreet]

You could just plug into a PC and reformat it.

Do you haf to turn off the harddrive before you turn off the PS4???

[@MohamadYousif1]

Great video! Thank you for sharing the tips

[@remer333]

Thank You very much dear Sir! One question though. If for example I take out the hdd (gracefully of course), plug it into another ps4 with a different account and maybe even a different region, would those games be playable or they would only be somehow locked to my account? Also would I still be able to plug back the hdd to my ps4 and use it as if nothing happened?

I have a question, you changed the location of the storage after you added the extended storage, what does that do? Can I just attach the extended storage device and activates it, how can I make it so all the games I download get downloaded in the extended storage and the data from using those games gets transported to the system storage?

Hey man great vid, could you use the same external drive on another ps4 to play the same games without losing the games or any problems?
