A: Hi, Sony added support for external USB hard drives on the PS5 with their April 2021 update. However, due to PS5 restrictions, games can only be played off the console’s internal SSD. As such, external USB storage hard drives only function as a faster way to hot-swap games and data on or off the PS5’s internal storage. -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information
Q: SSD or HDD
A: SSD like it says.
A: WD offers backup software for their drives for free with the purchase of the drive. There are also free options. I do not recommend using an SSD drive for backup of important files and would rather use a HDD. SSDs have a shorter lifespan than actual hard disk drives. Unless you need the transfer speed that a solid state drive offers.

Great Backup Drive For Mac
I love the small size of this WD Solid State Drive. It took just under 10 minutes to backup my MacBook Air, which i did not expect it to do. Overall I am very pleased with it and if the need arises, would definitely get another one.
