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.
Scroll down to the Devices menu. 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. You can select as many as you like, providing your external HDD has enough free space to store them. Anything else? When your external HDD is plugged in, games and apps will display as normal on your PS4 Home Screen, with the most recently played games appearing first.
