@@RollingFireDragon you have to be patient maybe keep commenting on his videos as soon as they upload and ask him to private message you on Twitter and give him you’re name maybe
When did they start letting you play from an extended storage?! Thanks so much for this I saw loads of videos saying that they are not supporting extended storage play yet
I usually make joke comments, but this is genuinely going to help so many people. Especially since I had NO idea how to do it and my storage is on the way. Good stuff my dude.
I was having a problem which is I cannot format my external hard drive and I was looking for a solution and I saw your video, heard you saying “You gonna plug the USB in the PS5 first, and then take the other end and plug it into the hard drive” I said what’s the difference!! and then I went to see another video. However, I was going to return the hard drive to the store and replace it with a new one. I tried your method by plugging the USB first before I go and "IT WORKED"😂😂. Thank you so much. Sometimes small details have a great effect.
You have saved my life with this! I've been so confused to know how to use the extended storage, I didn't realise I had to delete the game off my console, to then re download it again off my hard drive!! However, it does take me 20 mins to redownload Spiderman 2 back onto the console itself, but it's still extremely helpful! Thank you so much!! 😊
I had no idea there was a different usb port on the back and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me use the external drive. Thanks for the help, it's now working.
Hey Jake, Heads up, the Samsung T7 when initially connected, The PS5 reports that it is incompatible, You will need to connect the T7 to a PC and format it to (exFAT) and remove the Samsung bloatware, Then follow the steps on this video. (This advice should work for many other compatible drives that are having issues connecting to the PS5)
This dude made me relaxed while watching his tutorials videos I was kinda nervous about formatting my ps5 and it was forced to format the storage but this dude showed with all his explanations tutorials. May Allah make your life happier forever 💓
I learned a lot from this video. It seems like the usb input being blue and the usb output being blue would be enough to trigger my brain that’s to indicate they are super speed, but it didn’t click to me until you explained it. Seriously, good advice and examples, thanks for making this video. Most people fly through explanations, but you took the time to explain why I would want to do what you are explaining. I liked and subscribed.
i just want to take the time to say your mods in discord are incredible bandit , ocana , matt are truly hopeful and what your doing for the world is amazing keep up the hard work
Though I already bought an external SSD way before you made the first video for external storage device for PS5, your video is always enjoyable to watch.
Wonderful. Really good flow of information on how to go through the process properly. I had question about anyone running into an issue that after is is set up and left alone for a lone time in rest mode that the ps5 is no longer recognizing the external hard drive. I did everything in the video EXCEPT for installing it when it was off. I am going to turn mine off and plug it it and hope for the best. Just asking to see if I might missing another important thing. Stay safe everyone.
I was going round the bend trying to figure out why my PS5 would not format my WD D10 8TB HDD, it just kept saying USB file unsupported' and in the end it turned out to be something so simple it left me feeling stupid.!! I simply unplugged it from the rear USB port of the PS5 and plugged it into the other rear port (there are only two) and it reognised it immediately!! Hope this might help some other poor soul tearing their hair out like I was :) I tried just about everything else (formatting on PC, rebuilding database on PS5, and the list goe's on) but this one simple thing was all it took.
why are there other videos stating you have to remove the plate of the ps5 and then install SSD, I'm confused lol, this seem much easier? Thanks for the setup
@@JakeRandall yea for the most part, you know how it be. but for sure i try stopping into your streams but chat moves to fast to say whats good. glad things are workin out for u pimp
How did you make your ps5 controller like that? I lovee it! I was looking at similar covers, but wasn’t sure if I wanted to trust it as it didn’t have much reviews
@@JakeRandall oh cool! Thank you. I will def check it out. & thank you soo much, I was able to get ps5’s for myself, and for my family members. Just got some accessories today for us, not sure if you knew there was any stock, there has been.
I have 2 usb now, BUT I’m scared to put my new one in my ps5 because in my old usb I have a lot of data on there. If I format my new one will it fully delete my entire data on my old one
Wait, you said if you transfer a ps5 game to the external storage then you can't play the game?? Whats the point of getting more storage if that's the case.
To play ps4 games off of or to store games so you don’t have to delete and redownload, you can just transfer back and forth. Much faster and an external drive is SO MUCH cheaper than internal
Helo Jake, can you please address the C Boom battery problem they said PS5 has the same issue with it. that means all of us will lose all the disk and digital games in 10 years on PS4 and PS5🥺
So I have this problem. Where I have the same hard drive I plug it in and do everything you did. But it doesn’t give me the option to store anything on it.
Question: After formatting as external storage for the PS5, can you put other files like music, pics, or videos from your own personal PC into this said external storage even though it has PS4/PS5 games in it?
@@jameshoward-g4h I believe the limit PlayStation can handle is 8 tb, sorry I’m not able to help you but I’d Google it. “How to partition an external hard drive for ps5”
@jake - Do you have a tips video for buying an Xbox Series X on the Microsoft Store? I've tried to find it but haven't had any luck. Need some serious help with understanding how their cart system works!
@@JakeRandall PLEASE!! I keep getting one in the cart but it gets sniped out from under me immediately. Not sure if I'm supposed to keep clicking the dead "checkout" button or refreshing the page.
Super Jake - thanks for this. So, I researched this a while back and saw a Sony article recommending to use the USB-C port in front (vs. the USB-As in front and back). So, I have mine in front using USB-C. I hate it because it's visible. Is there anyway to switch to using USB-A in the back?
Added the wd black 5tb external drive and loaded my ps4 games. I thought I could play the fully loaded games straight from the drive but my ps5 is telling me to insert the game disks. Am I missing something or what?
So i highly doubt this is going to get a reply. But I’m having trouble with my storage device. I safely removed it from my ps5 to move it and i plugged it back in just the way u said to do and it didnt work. Its saying i dont have an extended storage device connected but i do
2:35 when its done reformatting, i get to that same screen but Im not able to select the games and apps option. However I tried to move a game into the hard drive anyway, but 15 mins in an error occurred. I would really appreciate a solution to this problem, if you got any.
So if plug in my external storage which has the majority of my ps4 games on it, and i need to format it to use it on the ps5, all my games will be deleted?
i have a NVME M.2 that needs usb c to usb c so i have to use the front usb c input. also for the ps5 to find my M.2 i had to set upo the drive on the pc
I just purchased a Avolusion 4tb external hard drive for some reason after formatting it I'm unable to connect to the internet if I turn it off everything works normal has anyone had this problem or could tell me how to fix it
i bought the playstation seagate external hard drive and it takes so long to move games over to console storage and to external storage....my internet goes around 110+ mbps download so i dont understand the problem....i can reinstall games quicker than it transfers between the hard drives......lol
@@JakeRandall makes sense thanks for the reply jake 💪 hope everything is well with u. one more thing, I went thru your videos I didn’t see anything about internal drives, are u waiting on a official PlayStation SSD? I want to upgrade my ps5 game storage, but I want to make sure it’s done the right way,Should I wait?, or get something that’s available now? What would u recommend?
Great video. Do playing PS4 games off the extended HDD load and play slower than if played off the internal? If so do you just use the external as storage and play everything internally?
