Today I go to turn on my PS4 Pro.
It’s stuck in rest mode and won’t turn on.
I unplug it from the wall and turn it back on.
It needs to rebuild the database and repair my external hdd.
I play some TLOU2 and save. I start up Dreams for a few minutes. I see that Apex Legends is downloading an update.
The console freezes. I eventually turn on my PS4 and the external HDD is not being recognized at all.
All 600GB+ of games are saying “To start this application, connect the extended storage device it is installed on. To install this application on another storage device, first delete it, and then download it again or insert a disc for it”
This is most likely Seagate’s fault. I only got the HDD back in October, so I think I can have Amazon replace it.
I dunno...
Update: the PS4 sees the drive and will let me format it. I don’t want to.
I should probably mention I plugged the HDD into my laptop to check if it was dead and the laptop saw it as a PS4 game drive. It’s not making any weird noises or anything either.
