If I may add 2 extra tips. Do not run rebuild database in recovery mode with an external drive plugged in. Ive tried this twice and each time multiple games on the external drive become corrupted. Also if you are transfering more than 300GB of games I would suggest breaking it up to 150-200GB at a time, and restarting the PS5 before each session to avoid corrupted game transfers. This has happened to me at least 3 times before I figured it out. It will also be faster because the transfer speed slows down significantly after a continuous tranfers of over 300GB. BTW for reference I'm using a Seagate Barracuda SSD on one PS5 and a Samsung T5 SSD on another.

[@TDMStyle]

Also a good idea to set your USB ports to be always on, so that your drive won’t auto shut off/disconnect if you use rest mode (default shuts them off after 3 hours). You can set this in Settings > System > Power Saving > Features Available in Rest Mode. For the drive, Sony actually recommends using the USB-C port on the front first, if your drive has the cable for it. (If not, then yes, use the back ports - the front USB-A port is not super speed).

[@insanegamer52]

- Don't plug in headsets or other accessories to the front either, that front port is solely used for charging purposes - ps5 games are designed to take advantage of the internal ssd so they can't be played from the external hard drive, only stored there. You have to move the ps5 game back to the internal ps5 storage in order to play it, which is still faster than downloading/copying it again especially if there are a lot of updates. Sony is in the process of allowing you to play games from an external ssd (not hdd) for a future update - ps4 games can be played from an external hard drive - hard drives have to be plugged directly into the ps5 USB port, they can't be plugged into a USB hub that is plugged into the ps5 - you can also use the USB-C port on the front of the ps5 to plug in an external hard drive, which can actually achieve faster read /write speeds if the external supports it - you can have multiple hard drives plugged in at the same time, but you can only have 1 active at a time - If you found any of these tips helpful, feel free to subscribe :) I make call of duty zombies content and as you can see I enjoy doing in depth research for every topic

[@SuperSergio612]

Just got an external SSD for my PS5. Which will have faster read/write speeds: plugging it into the back USB A slot or the front USB C slot?

[@insanegamer52]

@@SuperSergio612 I believe the type c will be faster but honestly it's not a big deal until you can play from an external ssd, then it will matter for load times. Currently it only matters for copy times and you'll still get solid performance from the rear slots.

I learned these tips from experiencing them myself and had so much trouble. I had to reformat or reindex the external hard drive several times back when I first got my PS5 to the point where I was considering returning the PS5 to the store. The sad part is, even when I disconnected the external hard drive through the system menu first, then unplugged it, it would always result in the same issue either way. On or off, showing connected or not, it caused some weird corruption. Even after the updates that Sony released, I’m afraid if I ever disconnect the hard drive in any way again that I’ll have these issues, but I hope not.

[@frostyone182]

I realize this is two years late, but it’s funny how many people think that looks better. It washes out the image when you do that. It’s artificially brightening the picture, without enhancing the color, like actual HDR content. In other words, you’re shining a brighter light onto existing colors that haven’t been enhanced to pop and compensate for that light shining on them. The only time “HDR Always On” looks ok is with an OLED, or QD-OLED, thanks to the TV’s deeper colors. Otherwise, forcing HDR on non-HDR games makes them look brighter, but overall worse. So many people think brightness = good picture. It doesn’t.

SSD, but sometimes on certain PS5 games that are in the Ext.HDD; I do feel like they are slightly faster than when they were on the Int.SSD before I ran out of space and transferred them onto the Ext. It’s weird. All in all, maybe a little faster for larger games, like COD, cuz of the extra room on the HDD? Lol less work than when on the Int. SSD.

Wait, you can play from external drive?

[@Thundershield23]

@@DannyDL1ght The games I have on it seem to play fine that are loaded to it…I keep my PS5 on the INT SSD and most of my PS4 on the EXT…but a couple games said i needed to have them on the INT to play; so I don’t play them lol im just waiting to upgrade the INT now with the new update…just need about ‘tree fiddy’ for that 2TB SSD stick

[@Thundershield23]

@@DannyDL1ght yeah, just checked it out. The PS5 ones need to be copied over and can’t be played from the EXT, but PS4 can; hence why i keep most of my PS5 on INT and the rest on the EXT, lol

A few additional tips: 1. You can use the front USB-C port for external storage. But I'd strongly recommend anyone to use the ports on the rear. You'll need the front USB Type-C port in the future for PlayStation's next VR headset. That's if -off course- you're planning on getting one in the future. I'd strongly recommend everyone to use the ports in the rear. The front USB-C uses a controller with Display-alternate mode which suggests that it's highly likely you'll need it for VR. You can get a good male Type-C to female Type-A adapter for a few bucks if you haven't got a Type-A (OG) cable in the box. 2. Don't put a USB-hub between your PS5 and your external drive. It will simply not work. You'll have to put the external drive directly to your PS5. 3. USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen. 1 are the same. Higher number are just fine, just make sure you're drive is at least 3.0. 4. If you can afford it, get an external SSD instead of an external HDD. KZbin channel Digital Foundry has a good video showing what the benefits are of playing PS4 games from an external SSD.

[@drizztdourden666]

Can you tell me of a ps5 compatible external ssd or external hdd at least with 1tb that I can plug on the USB-C port on the front of the ps5?im having trouble finding one(I would appreciate a link.)

[@dirgeofdementia]

@@drizztdourden666 I would imagine nearly anything made in the last 5 years would do the trick. I just moved my HDD from my PS4 over to my PS5 and haven’t noticed any compatibility issues due to the fact it is recognizing it and all the games on it. I originally bought that drive when the patch for external storage went live for the PS4.

Never

[@lightspeedbriefs6896]

Good info, for this and any modern high speed data transfer devices. like others have pointed out, it’s the high bit rate ports that you want to use. USB 3 and higher (the blue ones) or the USB C port (use appropriate adapter if needed) Cheers!

[@stephendavis4562]

Thanks for the Quick and very helpful tips on this subject. Some info that I think would have also been helpful to include in this video includes: >You do provide technical details about the minimum and maximum external HDD/SSD sizes that the PS5 supports. >You do indicate that not all HDD/SSD are compatible. It would be valuable information to also include details about what type of Format properties should be used when formatting an external HDD/SSD to use with the PS5. It is my understanding that when using a USB Flash/Thumb Drive to import/export Save Game Data, etc. that it must be formatted to either FAT32 or exFAT in order to use it for these purposes.

[@lambo2655]

Nice tip, I wish the console would support two devices plugged into your rear ports like it did on the PS4. You still had to change storage types from the menu but you didn’t need to use the same port. On PS5 only one of the two ports is recognized at any one time. This is annoying as I use an external SSD & an external hard drive.

Is it safe to turn off the PS5 without disconnecting the external hard drive.? Example if you want to move the PlayStation from one TV to another and you don't unplug the hard drive. I've done it and it didn't cause me any problems. Also side question, I purchased another plug and HDMI to go into my other TV for my Xbox series X (so that I don't need to disconnect the plug and HDMI from my first tv and can just move the box). can I use the same HDMI and plug for my PlayStation 5? The HDMI is 2.1 and the plug works perfectly with the series X. Thanks!
