A:AnswerHi, Please know that the SanDisk Extreme Portable External USB-C NVMe SSD can be used with a PS5 for storing and playing PS4 games, as well as for backing up PS5 game data. However, PS5 games cannot be played directly from the drive due to system limitations—they need to be transferred back to the console’s internal storage. For expanding PS5 game storage, a compatible M.2 NVMe SSD installed in the PS5’s expansion slot is required. You may also check WD_BLACK SN850P NVMe™ Internal SSD for PS5® consoles.

A:AnswerThe iPhone might need a dongle to go from lightning to USB-C, but as long as that's in place, an iPhone SHOULD be able to read it (cannot guarantee that though).
For the HP, it just needs a USB-C port. Even then I think the device comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter, so that isn't a requirement completely. The ports you're used to will work. I would recommend finding a USB 3 port for it if that's what is needed however.
A:Answerin order foe the data files to be compatible with both a Mac and Windows system, you have to format this drive as EXFAT. Then it can go into a Windows machine and be readable.
A:AnswerAny computer usb-c port should do it. Basically if it can charge your phone you’re good. It doesn’t have to be a full PD port one would need to charge a laptop.
