A:AnswerIt is not flawed. No external Hard Drive has the read write speeds required to play ps5 games. Even when upgrading with a m.2 internal ssd you need to make sure it has over 5500mb read speeds or it will not work. This drive can be used to play ps4 games off of it or to store ps5 games. It is quicker to move the data from the internal hard drive to an external hard drive and back than it is to download and install the data every time you want to play.
A:Answeraccording to Sony, yes you will be able to use the hardrive on the PS5. 4000+ games will be backwards compatible. So definitely worth getting this if there are some games you will want to play on the PS5.
A:AnswerI don’t see why you couldn’t. It operates as a basic external hard drive for PCs and phone. Just depends if you are using a computer as a mediator between the phone and the drive.
A:AnswerNo, the PlayStation will turn off the hard drive when the ps4 turns off.
In the event you have a sudden loss of power is when the hard drive will need to be repaired on boot up. The repair process is automated and you don’t have to do anything for it.
A:AnswerOnly compatible to play from external with the PS4 games. It works with the ps5 but only with PlayStation 4 data. You can’t export PS5 games or media to it.
A:AnswerYes, quite easily. It’s pretty much plug and play. You might have to run Raid and reformat it, but I think it comes out the bought formatted in exFat which is a format Mac understands.
