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.
My game saves were still there. However, when i load the games ive re installed onto my new external hard drive i cant access any of my saves. Ive platinumed some of these games and id like to pick up where i have left off. When i launch the games though it shows no gake saves and i have to start back at square one. Please help. If I download and install my games on to the external hard drive, can I play them directly from it?
Or do I have to transfer them to the internal hard drive first? Please advise. Thanks in advance! Projects, music, homework. Things of such? You must be logged in to post a comment.

Minimum HDD spec The most important thing to remember before you buy a new storage device — or try to use one you already own — is to make sure it meets the minimum requirements for use with your PS4: Connection : USB 3.

Moving games and apps onto your external HDD device If you want to organise the games and apps that are currently installed on your PS4 internal storage, you can easily move them over to the external storage device: Go to the Settings menu from your PS4 home screen. Choose which games and apps you want to move by ticking the boxes that appear next to their names.
Since you're mentioning increased load times when upgrading the internal storage, might also be worth mentioning the OP might experience deceased load times with an external drive — Wondercricket. Thanks for the response by the way can I recopy back my games from usb to the PS4?
Thanks in advance. Bido I think it works the same - you just need to select External storage and then Move to System Storage. Interesting on the better load times. Myself and somebody else I know started seeing decreased load times after using an external drive. Wondercricket yes, I was surprised by that article too. This may be different for different models original, slim, pro and for different drives.
