If the used version is meant, yes - but the warranty there is only 12 months.

According to our own research, this is unfortunately only suitable for the PS4.
Is compatible with both. The crucial thing is that it is formatted with exFAT.
You can take any USB 3.0 hard drive and format it via the console menu, as well as on the PC/notebook.
Helpful answer
Yes. You can format it as you like, whether ntfs or extfat.
Yes, you can.
The PS5 even supports all external USB hard drives with USB 3.0/3.1 speed. If necessary, the hard drive can be formatted directly on the PS5 or on the PC (normal FAT32 or the newer exFat).

Hi Ale, this works tiptop with both generations. So I saved myself the migration of games from PS4 to PS5.... Plug it in and go!

Hello Meik
Just tried it yesterday, works without problems so far.

I used it like a madman on the Ps4 for 3 years. No problems at all.
The PS4 is now with this external hard drive at my brother's. Since November, since I now have the Ps5.
I can't say anything about the external hard drive constellation with the PS5 from my own experience, but I can only confirm what you wrote.
Yes, however, for PS5 games, the console requires the game to be on the console's hard drive. This means that you have to move the game if you want to play it. Unlike PS4 games, the PS5 console can play the games directly from the external hard drive.
Yes, it works perfectly. However, only PS4 games can be played from an external hard drive. Greetings
No link to the account. Can move from PS4 to PS4.
Yep, you can currently only save and play PS4 games on your hard drive, it doesn't work with PS5 games (whatever Sony is up to).
And just for understanding, this is an HDD and not an SSD.
Yes it works, PS4 games are automatically installed on the Seagate Game Drive, PS5 games can only be installed on the internal PS5 SSD and not on the Seagate Game Drive.
Yes, since the PS5 update 21.01-03.00.00, PS5 games can also be stored on the external hard drive. However, they cannot be played from there. Before playing, they must be moved back to the internal hard disk. PS4 games can also be played from the external hard disk.
Yes, but only PS4 games can be stored on it. It can also be switched plug & play from PS4 to PS5 and back again without any problems.
As far as I know, only PS4 games can be loaded from an external hard drive with the PS5. PS5 games have to be loaded internally. I read that here:

Yes, but you can only load PS4 games on it.
It works, but you can only save PS4 games on it. See the report about PS5 here at Digitec.

Yes and no. The PS5 recognises external hard drives and all PS4 games installed on them can be started directly, but PS5 games cannot currently be installed on external drives. The memory of the PS5 can then be expanded later via the built-in M.2 slot, but this is currently still deactivated.
I also ask myself
Have not done it yet

Yes, but you can only load PS4 games on it.
The hard disk is only intended to store the data of the games. The game scores and personalised data remain stored on the PS or on the Internet. In order to use them, you must log in to the new PS and possibly load the personal data into the online storage beforehand.
This hard disk is primarily intended for expanding the internal memory line.
What kind of hard drive is used with this drive?
What is the height of the internal hard drive only?
