Everytime I see this thread I think it's out (would've made these days waiting for Zelda and Switch much much more bearable).
And like i said before, I am getting stuttering on DS3's beginning cutscene when installed on the external whereas i dont when installed in the internal. I think its probably caused by the same thing.
Wait, it's two separate disks? Is this a RAID enclosure? Do the two drives appear as one logical drive?I'm using a 4TB Seagate Backup Plus and it's 2x 2TB Samsung Spinpoints inside. All the games runs great, it's just the cutscenes in Hitman, the audio skipping in Horizon and a slowdown in The Show 2016 when batters make their way to the plate.
I'm moving Horizon to the system storage to see if that clears up the issue.
Welp this is disappointing.I've been using my external hdd without issue since the beta started but today after turning my system on it said the external had an issue and needed to be repaired, informing me to use "stop using external storage" before disconnecting the external hdd. I didn't unplug it at all. What's going on?
I know I'm not the only one. I was able to stop the audio skipping on HZD by moving it to the internal storage.
Is that a single platter? If it's multiple drives inside a single enclosure then it sounds like it's possible you could run into some issues.Anyone using an 8TB external they would recommend?

Is this a standard PS4 or a Pro?OK I moved RE7 back to the internal SSHD and the jittering seems to be gone, but the load times are horrendous compared to an external SSD so I might live with it until I get a larger internal SSD at a later date. Does seem odd that external drives should have this jittering though.

I was just going to use external as a safe to store all my games.
I'm guessing playing off the internal SSD would be faster than external HDD correct? The USB 3.0 isn't doing some magic?
Internal SSD will be the fastest option.
That's the set up I'm using now. 500GB SSD with my old 2TB being used as an external.
I wanna know when PS4 Pro "boost mode" is out so I can see Bloodborne with moar power.Custom wallpapers and external hard drives. This is great. So what are we missing now?

Shouldn't be too long at least, this topic is nearly a month old.I'm dumb.
I went out and got a Pro looking forward to boost mode on some of my older games and realized that 4.50 wasn't out yet.
There's still weird amateur hour stuff in beta 4. Like notifications/downloads/uploads ui not being consistent
I can't get over how bad the notifications screen is. In what way is that any improvement over what it was before?
I actually prefer the new style.Yeah it's a mess now. Total downgrade from the previous version. I'm not sure why they felt this needed fixing.
Is the external drive functionality strictly for actual USB hard drives, or can USB SD adapters be used? I plugged my adapter in and it recognized it but couldn't do anything with it.

Cool. Sounds good to me.

Wish I knew what this new style looked like lolI actually prefer the new style.
Mine is a USB to SD slot adapter. 250 is too rich for me though so I guess that's not happening.The drive has to be a minimum of 250GB, which i hope they'll lower to at least 128GB. So if you're USB drive is less than that then thats why. And how would you get a SD adapter to work?
Instead of having eight (or however many) sub menus on the left side of the notifications screen, all of the notifications just appear in the one window with no submenus. I prefer it TBH.Wish I knew what this new style looked like lol

I suspect that that's the problem.I don't speak tech but I do believe that's it's 2 Samsung 2TB spinpoint drives inside the enclosure. I know someone pried it open and I saw pics of it in the Amazon comments section.
Ok I have narrowed down the issue with the Headset issues with update 4.50
Basically, if you're using an OG PS4, and have a USB HDD plugged into one of the USB ports, its starving the wireless headset dongle for power and GREATLY reduces the range of the headset itself. I'm only about 8 feet away and if I move ever so slightly i get constant outages every few seconds.
If I remove the HDD, everything is back to normal and I get range up to 20 feet away.
This should not be a problem for the Pro however. If you plug the HDD into the back USB it shouldnt starve the dongle of power, as the rear USB runs on its own power separate from the front.
My ps4 slim chugs when navigating the menu ... is it common or do i have a problem?

Anyone else keep having their hard drive randomly disconnecting?
Wonder if this is why I'm seeing much less range and increased interference with my controllers, too. More interference meaning if I have my leg in between the controller and the ps4, it'll stop working and even turn itself off after a few seconds. I know I used to have more range than I do now. I'll have to test that without a drive plugged in, or use a drive with it's own powerOk I have narrowed down the issue with the Headset issues with update 4.50
