've got a question zwzwar one can connect his Ps4 external USB 3.0 hard drive s.PC and continue to use?
because that is no longer recognized
If I'm happy I do not understand your question so I can tell you if the ps4 data is important to you then you can't connect it to your pc and keep using it. In most cases, you will receive a notification that the hard disk must be formatted and used on the pc. If you do not care what happens to the data then just plug in and format and then it will do it. (if you decide later then you want to connect back to the ps4 you need to back up the data because leg connect the ps4 wants the formatted)
(For safety reasons, formatting is installed on the hard disk)
