So I got a 5tb seagate the ps5 and I can’t even use the ps5 games with it. Is that correct lol 😂 so if I wanna download more ps5 games I’d just have to delete a game?
Yes the external drives are just for storage purpose. So basically when you download from ps store or install a new game from CD on to the PS5 internal drive, you can just copy or move it to the external ssd/HDD, you can't play on it like you did with the PS4, which sucks. So basically when you don't have space on your internal, just move it to external and when you want to play that game again, you always have to copy/move it back to internal to play that game
Hi, so you have disc games installed? Are you able to move them to the external harddrive? And copy it back to ps5 without inserting the disc or do we need the disc in the ps5 to initiate transfer??
@@Wavey_Alex you gotta formate your external hard drive to the ps4 then it will allow you to move your stuff over I got a 4TB and I was having the same problem until I formatted it then I was able to move the games
which M.2 SSD do you have? I got a 4TB silicon power one, but I think it might be a tad too slow. that transfer you just did flew! I might get a better M.2 and keep this one as a backup, or maybe for my PS5 slim when I buy a PS5 Pro haha
When you move games to your external drive and months later decide you wanna play that game again and you move it back to your system storage drive do you lose all your saved progress in the game?
How do you move the game save file to your M.2 SSD? Moving the game itself seems to be pretty easy, but moving the save file I can't find any options anywhere.
So I have a Seagate 4tb external hard drive and I moved over all ps5 games over to it. My problem is that if I have MW3 and it’s on external hard drive it says I have to copy the data into console storage and so now I have two MW3 data in both console and external hardrive. My last hard drive never had any issues with it I’d always be able to play on my ps4 games on both console and external drives on my ps4. My question is how can I sync it so that every time I play a game it doesn’t have to be downloaded into console storage even though it’s downloaded into external already?
This is my exact problem i dont think PlayStation has updated there ps5 to be able to do this yet and the whole reason i got a 4 terabyte hard drive was so i can have cod fort wukong exc download and have enough storage to take a screenshot the only games that work like how u would expect the hard drives to work are ps4 games but in the video the guys setting is move ps5 games to hard drive and for me i can do that setting but idk someone help let us know how to use a hard drive to have more storage i dont wanna have to redownload/ copy my games from the hard drive back to my console
@@Rosa2028-then how do I get more storage on my ps5 then because I literally have only 3 games on my ps5 and bought an external store for that exact reason come to find out I can’t play ps5 games from there
I need help!!! Do you have a video on how to label parts of a share factory video so people know what parts are what? So you could fast forward to a bit. I've seen it been done
This video helped me out: moved Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 to my M.2SSD's storage, freeing up space on my PS5's console storage to play COD Vanguard. Yay! And thanks to this video, it was so easy. Yay! 😊
I buy a external ssd and if i want to play any game from ps5 i have to move it from consol to the external ssd and copying..the thing is when you are copying the games it will install again in consol storage i mean wtf is this,anyone knows another solution?
Hey how you doing when i'm doing this with my turn the hard drive and forcing the PlayStation 5 do not want to read the Wi-Fi when I take the hard drive out then the car working again with the Wi-Fi how can I fix this
Wanna take bets on my situation if it works? I put M.2 inside a USB adapter and copied all my M.2 games to the external USB with M.2 inside. Going to replace the 1 tb m.2 inside my ps5 with this new 2 tb M.2 in usb adapter. If I pop the M.2 out of the usb adapter then put it inside the ps5, wil the games work? The PS5 games? becuase they do not run on usb but it is not USB anyu more. Arre they ina diferent pst "backed up" format becuase it was a usb at the time? Or wil it all be the same and work becuase now it is on M.,2 inside? Oir rather, it wil be insid emy ps5 soon when I am not lazy and put the new one in.
Bro i got fortnite on my external hard drive and it needs to update and it says copy soon as i click copy says i have no space but i have space. Why cant i play . Can anybody help
I've been playing a game on my dad's PS5 but I've recently got my own, is there anyway I could move the games progress to my own PS5 without messing up my dads account?
I don't know why a PS5 requires a M.2 or whatever, but we got a Hard Drive that we can store games on. Then it said copy the game back to console if we want to play it. That's kinda stupid.
I'm using HDD hard drive and it takes 30 minutes to transfer a 170 GB game to the system storage the HDD is running at 750 mbps I hate how they developed the console on this gen they expected to spend money on hard drive space they did that on purpose I'm on the Xbox series s
Could you clarify, if i move a ps5 gsme to external ssd, will the respective save data also be bundled alongwith into the SSD? If i copy back from ssd to PS5 to play the game in the future will i also have my save files ?
Make sure you are using the correct usb port on your ps5 some don’t work with an external hard drive.
Thank you. You solved my problem 🙏🏻☺️🙏🏻👍🏼 I can move my games from internal storage to the USB extended storage. Woohooo 😊
So I got a 5tb seagate the ps5 and I can’t even use the ps5 games with it. Is that correct lol 😂 so if I wanna download more ps5 games I’d just have to delete a game?
i am going through this same thing and have the same 5tb.
@@Winniekins93 this is crazy to me why would PlayStation do this? So it isn’t just me that makes me feel a bit better lol
Have you figured out the issue yet? I have a 4 tb drive and have the same issue

I think you can do it with a internal drive tho
Thank you so much!!! Great video, very helpful!
Thank you you got to the point fast and told us how to fast
When you do this, do the saved game directory get moved onto the ssd?
Will PS4 games work on a PS5's internal SSD or will PS4 games not work on a PS5's internal SSD?
Thanks so much, I needed room for RDR2 and I couldn’t find out how to put the console storage games to my extended storage

Super easy to understand, step by step. Thank you!!!
THANK YOU THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!!!!! I DID NOT WASTE MY MONEY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It doesn’t let me move apps or anything just a few games but still can’t add more games i have a 4TB hard drive
I know it’s bullshit

@@suciopb1073how do you do that ?
@@suciopb1073what happens if I format it to ps4, will it delete my data off of it from my ps5?
It only lets you move over ps4 games I’m quite sure. So you can download the ps5 or ps4 version of a game.
You make great videos man keep it up!!👍🏽
Tysm it helped a lot
Thanks for the info. It really helped.
Can you play ps4 games on the external hard drive?
Yeah you can play PS4 games on the external HD. But be warned, some games like PS4 God of War, will crash if there are lot of enemies that spawn in.
Well how about downloading straight to it?
which M.2 SSD do you have? I got a 4TB silicon power one, but I think it might be a tad too slow. that transfer you just did flew! I might get a better M.2 and keep this one as a backup, or maybe for my PS5 slim when I buy a PS5 Pro haha
Can you download games directly into the SSD?

You can store PS5 games on an external storage device, but you cannot play them directly from there.

The ps5 ssd's are so damn expensive from here in Australia
Absolute ridiculous price
