[SOLVED] Same external hard drive for PS5 and PC

[sammytheman]

Hey fellas. So I bought the external hard drive below for my PS5 as an external storage. Now I am running low on hard drive on my PC so I disconnected the HD from PS5 and connected it to my PC. However my PC does not detect the HD. I tried all the USB ports on my PC and none of them works. My phone and other devices do connect to my PC so I know that my PC works. I wanted to know if I can use the same HD for both my PS5 and PC or not. I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks.

playstation is using different format on drive, which microsoft doesnt use
if you no longer need your USB extended drive running on PS5, then on PS5 go to settings -> storage -> usb extended storage, select ... (more) -> format as exFAT
this will wipe your hardrrive and from then on you can use it on your windows PC
