I just got extended storage. You can also change your settings for games to automatically download to your extended storage instead of system storage. You can swap this anytime you want.

Need your help! I have an extended storage & It was unplugged & had a grey triangle with an exclamation mark . When I went to play my Sims game it said my saved data couldn't be downloaded due to my data being offline? And that if I tried playing my game like this any DLC or data would be lost. What do I do?

Thank god!!!I was worry i had to replace my ps4.thank for tips 🔥

[@Aeithz]

have a question but I’m not sure your gonna know. So something I wrong with my ps4 I used to always turn it into rest mode not knowing I’d there was a power outage it could damage the System. So a couple of weeks ago I turned it into rest mode as usual and the PS4 started to beep. It beeps for a good 3 minutes then completely powers off. No orange Lite no nothing. So I turn in back on then it would show the usual rebuilding data bass don’t unplug pa4 cables. This happened for a few days so I finally thought I should actually turn off my PlayStation. So I started doing that until one night I was up late grinding so I wasn’t thinking and turned it into rest mode. As soon as it happened I got so worried thinking my PS4 was broken. It loaded into safe mode and rebuilder the data bass and Luckily it was ok. So do you have any idea how to fix? (Sorry for writing a whole day page)
