It is it comes off very easily, as you can see in the cover image, and use it on any other device after formatting and a few simple steps. So don’t destroy your console. It still has a use.
How to Use PlayStation Hard Drive on PC
His method is simpler than you might imagine. If you plan to replace your console’s hard drive and use it on your computer, be aware that you will lose all data, saves, and games stored on it. However, we assume that if you’re thinking of doing so, it’s because your Play has stopped working or you just want to remove it, so that shouldn’t be a problem. However, I would recommend making a backup before proceeding, if desired.
format disk
If you’re determined to do that, we’ll just have to format it properly for the computer to recognize that drive, since they’re initially designed in a format that only the console knows.
For this we will start our computer with Windows and we will go to “Disk Manager”
Once we open this window, we will see all our storage units, as well as the capacity of each of them.
At the bottom we will see the partitions that are also connected to the computer. This is where we will have to find which one corresponds to the disc of our Play.
At this time we will have to right click on the console disk and click on “Initialize Disk”
Once initialized we will have to go above this same disk and we will look at the part that says “Not attributed” and that will be where we have to do right click on it so that the options are open to us
At this time a menu with options will open where we only have to mark the option “New Single Volume” which will allow us to create a new hard drive from scratch with all its space and with the necessary format for Windows to recognize it as such.
A wizard will open that will guide us in a simple way through a very simple process in which we will only have to make sure that we use the NTFS file system.
Once the process is complete, you will have a hard drive like any other on your computer. However, you can use it again on your PlayStation whenever you want. When you connect it to the console, it will ask you if you want to use it on it. If you accept, the disc will be formatted in a format compatible with this one. However, you must keep in mind that this process and the reverse will delete all information on the disk and adapt it to a new format, which means that you will lose everything you had stored on it.
Now is the right time to enjoy your new PC storage, its capacity may be greater than what you already had. Consoles usually bring a lot.
