Then scroll all the way down in the external storage and there will be a "other" file and that is where DLC for data on the internal drive is stored.
When you move the game from the internal to the external, the DLC will be merged into the main file. Ah that explains why my season passs content for mafia 3 didnt show once the system drive was done fluffing about but the external wasnt.

I had this with mgs5. The game was on the internal and the mgs online was on the external but it still works. I still corrected it though. This happened because I set the external drive as the default and since I had more space decided to download mgs 5 online. Anyways, if you want to avoid this just remember if you ever add dlc to a game to look at which hard drive its on and than go to storage settings and change the default. However, its not really a big deal, just move the game to which ever drive the dlc is on and then keep it on there or move it back to the the other drive if you like.
Thanks everybody. I'm just wondering how much space I should leave on my system drive before I set up the external. Agents of Mayhem and Evil Within 2 are going to be the last games I have on the internal, so maybe I should leave some space free for patches. Also, does DLC ever get patched? Say I have Horizon on the internal and download the expansion to the external; if the DLC ever required an update which drive would the patch go to?
Give shlong, and prosper. DLC doesn't get patches unless it is stand-alone. But before the start, you should have any game in Fake PKG formate.

PlayStation 4 storage is a concern for plenty of gamers -- those of us with launch models of Sony's console have been deleting games to make room for new ones for years.
We've already got plenty of options for increasing PS4 storage, but Seagate announced on Wednesday it's releasing a 2TB Game Drive -- an external hard drive -- that's officially licensed, so it has a little PlayStation logo.
That 2TB will give you space for about 50 more games and you'll be able to play them as quickly as if they were on the PS4's internal drive, Seagate said in its release. It'll also work smoothly with every PS4 model, as long as it has system software version 4. You can use the drive to bring your game library to a friend's console, but be warned that you'll need to sign into the PlayStation Network account originally used to purchase the games to play them.
The company said via email that it doesn't have timing for a UK and Australia release yet. So it's up to you if that little logo is worth it. First published Jan. Updated Jan. How to add more storage to a PS4 : Everything you need to know. 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. 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.
