iliya0212 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hi everyone, I know PS5 had some issues with using external storage when it launched 2 month ago, and for that reason I didn't use until now. Now I got to the point where I constantly need to delete and redownload games, which gets really annoying, so I am wondering, is extended storage still causes crushes, db rebuilds and bricked consoles, or was it fixed?

mcnichoj Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Use at your own risk. Some reported no issues at all since launch. I won't take the chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinselneo Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) I have no issues. But I don't think there was a patch.. Edited January 10, 2021 by Pinselneo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iliya0212 Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Oh well.. I was hoping I missed a patch and they fixed it. Probably won't risk it for now. Thanks for the answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakebit10 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I have had my PS5 since the end of November and have had my external plugged in ever since and had no issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iliya0212 Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 The thing is that there were considerable amount of reports at launch, and given that availability is not great at the moment and if it accidently bricks the console, even with warranty it will take time to get a replacement and I am not sure I want to risk it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoszek Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I had huge issues on the release of the console for couple of days(ps5 turning off,games not working or not wanting to start at all) and i have it plugged with all my ps4 backlog installed on it since launch. Now, everything seems to be ok since more then a month and i move ps4 games to ps5 ssd from it when i plan to play them. So it seems that all problems are gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I had one issue and no surprises it was Cyberpunk, I downloaded it on the PS4 pro and then swapped out the external. Took about and hour to rebuild the database on PS5. No other problem with no other game. Basically your database on the PS4 somehow reflects on your PS5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
