Another weird thing, is if you put a game on a HDD, the ps5 knows it's stored there and won't allow you to download it from the store so out of fear of my HDD breaking I now have to delete all my games off of it. I never seen that one coming when I decided to go digital.

Jeez... you can't redownload a PS4/PS5 game (or reinstall it from disc) as long as the game installation is already on one of the CONNECTED drives.

If you disconnect an external drive or an internal M.2-SSD (due to a hardware failure or any other reason) and then reboot the PS5, these games of course can be redownloaded or reinstalled from disc because the PS5 can't detect the installation folder anymore on the remaining drives.
