That's just the thing. I have two external HDDs. One of them (1tb WD Passport Ultra) isn't recognized in any capacity, whatsoever. The other (Seagate 500 gb something or other) is recognized but half the time, whatever I'm trying to watch (torrents) won't play.
Not a deal breaker by any means. I have too many other options. Still, it's disappointing as the ps3 (still an option) works so well with different media. |
Oh right, a lot of external HDDs probably use NTFS, which isn't supported by PS4. That's an issue for sure. I too use NTFS because FAT32 doesn't support files bigger than 4 GB, and I don't like exFAT because it's not supported by default in a lot of Linux distributions (which I use from time to time). Other than that, there's no more issue than there would be if you were able to store media files on PS4 directly. Supported file formats are the same no matter where you store them. PS4 could, and probably even should, have better support for different file formats though. Just for the record, here's the list of file system and file formats officially supported by PS4.
