Hello, I upgraded my PS4's HDD to a 1.5TB, and it came with a case for my PS4's old HDD. I was wondering, can I use it to hold movies that I can play on a DVD player with a USB plug in, or plug it into my CD player in my car and listen to music? Or is it only useful for computers? I planned on using it in my car for music, but it has my old PS4's data on it still. I planned on formatting it, but my computer can't find it when I plug it in. At-least it's not in the My Computer folder thing. (I'm not the best with computer hardware). So if I can use it for music and such, how would I go about formatting it, or deleting the data on it? But thanks for any and all help!

Format it - connect it to a PC and use Disk Management.

I found it in Disk Management, do I convert it to Dynamic Disk? I don't see a format option. I can click on Properties. And uninstall or disable. I doubt those are right though.


I found the format if I right click on the blue lines, but the format button is grey'd out.
