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 ?

[@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.

[@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?

[@lestershenk924]

Thanks

[@golfkarter5331]

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

[@ArshSingh824]

Amzing video bro, already subscribed
Bro 2 questions would be really appreciated if you can answer
1)if I add hardrive would it make my ps4 slower in any case now or later on?
2)now I am planning to buy Wd 5tb black hard drive, in any case will hard drive cause any lag or I have to buy SSD but those are expensive so will hard drive will do the job completely?
Thank you

[@GeekStreet]

Thanks for the support. You will not encounter any lag or slowness.

[@lamaorfahly3198]

[@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

[@mandjdonahey]

Thank You I’m getting this.☺️

[@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?

Do you need one that is specifically for games? I’ve seen ones that meet the requirements for PS4 but it’s for pc but does not mention game consoles. Pls help

[@ps5flexxx]

No u do not

[@Fly-Andy]

Any usb3.0 storage device should work

[@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?

[@dirt2595]

If I’ve used my external for a different ps4, and decided I want to use this hard drive now for a different one can I just hooked it up?
I bought I bigger hard drive and will use my smaller one for a different ps4. Is that ok?

[@Koren_Sora]

Thank you

Is it same with Seagate Hdd ? Or any other Hard disk ?
