Now I have solved this little problem, I’m quite happy with what hardware I have – the M3 drive was easy to format on the Macbook, and the PS4 did quite a nifty job of copying everything on ( I’m pretty sure 275GB transfer takes longer than 2(ish) hours without the help of USB 3.0). It may have even been a little longer than that… although that’s still better than the “10 hours” it first estimated when it started! And in all fairness, nearly 300GB of stuff in a couple of hours is pretty impressive given what a 2.0 USB/HDD combo would have taken (a nd maybe what that “10 hours” was based on…).

But despite the 3.0 USB ports on the console and the 3.0 Samsung HDD, it still took about 2 hours to transfer them across. 275GB more, to be exact.Ĭopying them across was a little more… lengthy. But the videos… well, there were a tad more of them. The screenshots went pretty easily – they don’t take up too much room ( less than 1GB). Using the OS X Disk Utility, I separated the Samsung hard drive into 2 parts, about 50% each, both exFAT ( then it’s compatible with everything). Apparently it accepts FAT and exFAT formats. I finally found it, in their online “manual”… hidden quite deftly, too.

It transpired it was defaulted to NTFS… which was fair enough, except that only works with Windows PCs. After being told that it was in the wrong format, I plugged the HDD into the Macbook to see what it actually was. I thought it would be easy enough to just plug in the USB to the PS4 and get everything copied on.īut not so fast… Nothing is just that simple. The external drive I acquired was a Samsung M3 Slimline Portable 1TB HDD.

Unfortunately, tech-land has quite kindly ( …ahem) bestowed upon us numerous formatting options, including: NTFS, FAT / FAT32, exFAT ( is is FAT optimised for flash drives), Mac OS Extended ( there are 4 types of these), and then there’s also “Free Space”. The first mistake was not checking formatting. But, of course, nothing is that easy – oh, no! No, everything must always, without fail, be difficult and testing to the point of throwing oneself off a cliff onto very sharp and pointy rocks below, just because it’s more fun than dealing with the ridiculous problems that you’re faced with. It was supposed to be a simple plug-and-play easy transfer. The thing is, it wasn’t supposed to be a project.
