But 3. I think that depends on the type of HDD, as Bumblebee says. Which HDD is best? I have a seagate for my wii u and my ps4 is completely maxed out XD also, would I need a Y cable? Why the pointless minimum size? If i install a agame to the external hard drive , will i still need to insert the disc to play the game? What happens if i lose my external drive with my games on can i redownload them or what and can i take my games on a external drive go to my friends house log in as me and play my games.
Now, if you try to start a game the following message will show up:. To install this application on another storage device, first delete it, and then download it again or insert the disc for it.
Your downloaded games will stay in your library — you could just re-download them to a new HDD. I have changed my internal HDD 2 years ago, since that time my console seems to run more hot, the fans are almost always on.
Or it will automaticly format the usb one? I know this question will be somewhat off topic, but I think it would be better to simply upgrade my internal HDD. But I am uncertain which internal HDD to purchase. Could someone link me the a good Internal HDD? Can we have a partition? I use an 8tb external for backups but really only need well under 4tb. Can I partition it and use half for backups from pc and half for PS4?
What about Networked Attached Storage? Can I use same disk on another PS4 when I create my account there, so console can check I own content on it? Why do I have to leave 50gb free on my internal hard drive in order to play games off my external hard drive? What a waste of space. I upgraded to a 1tb hdd while back,I still have my gb,so how do I attach it to use as an external drive? Does the system run slower, hang up or stutter when playing resource heavy games like Destiny and Horizon Zero Dawn?
For fast paced games like BlackOps 4, MW and such, i would transfer all those games to system storage. If I go to my friends house and I want to play a game that is on the usb will the game saves stay or do I have to start a new game? Settings — Application saved data management — Saved data in system storage — Upload to online storage. No, you need to connect the USB cable directly to your console, not through any external ports or extenders.
And yes, it does work perfectly when I connect it to my PC. Googling this gives me a couple of results of people having the same problem with this particular HDD. Does anybody have any ideas? Maybe my specific HDD will be added to the compatibility list in future.
Well y dont you post what external devices work for the ps4 sony its your JOB to do that unless we use the wrong external device and our ps4 goes wrong then its your falt sony. Hopefully have an answer for you soon! Rhys, thanks for trying to answer as many of the questions here as possible. I have a question that you may not know the answer to immediately but it would be great if you could find out and get back to me:. Will it cause issues having games and their DLC on different drives?
If I download new DLC for an old game should I manually copy the installed game to the external drive too, so that everything is on the same drive? Or is the PS4 able to cope with bits of the same game being spread across different media?
What happens if I wanna upgrade to PS4 Pro? Can i move the games from my old PS4 to external hdd and then play them on my new console?
I have many games and dont want to redownload the whole library. Does it make any difference in terms of speed if you buy an external drive with seperate power source? I have found an old harddrive that i plugged into a USB3 enclosure and its currently formatting. So my friend is asking if its possible to copy my games to a hard drive then give it to him to where he can download the games on the hard drive, is this possible?
Can I move the games back to a ps4 from the external HDD? I assume so, but I have not seen that specific information. Are the 2 usb ports of my PS4 3. So the new games get installed on the new hard drive, but if you want to play an old game that is downloaded on the internal drive, will the PS4 automatically open it, using both drives, depending on where the games are saved?
Or do you HAVE to move any game you still want to play to the new drive? I just recently bought an 8tb hard drive to go with my ps4 pro, but the capacity shows 8. Anybody have ideas on how I can fix this without having to downgrade to a 6 or 7tb?
Even while my HDD is being used? Since adding an external hard drive, disc based games that i had installed on the internal drive wont start. Update: I tried moving two of the installed games to the external drive Horizon and Yakuza 0 but neither would run still.
So far got Yakuza 0 running by deleting the data and reinstalling. Will I need to do this for all of my disk installed games or will this be patched? So today i bought a seagate 3. I plugges it in and formatted it. I then installed about 30 disc copy games i had deleted of my internal hd awhile ago to save space. You can do this from the settings menu. We all remember the good old days when you could give your friend your PS2 memory card or even copy data from your card to theirs.
This is not possible anymore. This sucks! It does, but when you think about it, you will understand why it has been done. Trophies have become a bit part of the PlayStation network.
There are a lot of people questions often have when it comes to dealing with their game saves on the PlayStation 4. I have covered most of the content people need to know in the sections above. Here are some additional questions that people often have around managing save data on the PlayStation 4. If you have completed a hard mission or found all of the collectables in a game and want to share this progress with a friend, you are out of luck.
Game saves are locked to the PSN account they were created with. This is done to stop people cheating the trophy system. There may be other reasons for it too.
If you want to share your game save with a friend, you will not be able to do it, no matter how innocent your intentions are. The system is locked down to prevent game save sharing. There are a few documented cases where the system can be tricked into accepting a different game save, but for most people this is impossible.
Yes, you can. The section above will explain how to backup game save data to a USB stick. You will be unable to use this game saves for PC versions of the games, unfortunately. The information is unique to the PS4. I have a slow internet connection so I cannot download them myself.
Is it possible to do so? So, you can move all your friend's stuff to your PS4, then add your own account again and use your own account to access all moved games. Your friends saves will be accessible only for his account. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
