How to Format External Hard Drive as Extended Storage on PS5
If you want to format an external hard drive as extended storage on your PS5, follow these simple steps to expand your game storage. First, make sure you have a compatible USB 3.0 or later external hard drive with at least 250GB and up to 8TB of storage. Connect the external hard drive to one of the USB ports on your PS5, preferably the rear ports for better performance.
Once connected, go to Settings then Storage then USB Extended Storage and select Format as USB Extended Storage. This process will erase all data on the drive, so make sure to back up any important files before proceeding. After formatting, your PS5 will automatically set the external hard drive as the default storage for PS4 games, and you can move existing games to free up space on the internal SSD.
Keep in mind that PS5 games cannot be played directly from external storage, but you can store them there and move them back when needed. For the best performance, use a high-speed external SSD instead of a traditional HDD.
