A:AnswerI'm not an expert, but i'm in the habit of ejecting and unplugging when i'm not using. I think keeping it connected all the time may possibly wear it down, but just a theory. I know I've read that you should use tech at least periodically, so i try to use at least 2x / month.

A:AnswerIt should work by plugging in to one of the PS5's USB ports, but you'll get much better performance from an SSD instead of a spinning hard disk like this.
A:AnswerSort of. If you attach this to a router that has usb and cloud feature then yes. Alternatively, you could attach this to a NAS server with a cloud plugin installed to accomplish the same thing.

A:AnswerIt will probably work fine, you’ll just have slower load times via USB than you would SATA.
It would be easier and more reliable though to just shuck it and install internally. There are a *ton* of resources available online to show you how to do it if you’re unfamiliar with either installing a hard drive or shucking an Easystore.
A:AnswerWindows 7, sure. You might need to an x64 system in win7 not x86 to read 7.68tb (8tb formatted).
Win XP, nope. But if you want to do something like back data up, you can network the XP and Win7 system to your network router or a $10-20 unmanaged 4-8 port switch.
Then you can keep the drive on the x64 win7 machine and use network sharing from the XP system to the win & system.
make a user named test, ps 1234, etc, on both machines. log in to both. make sure each system is on a domain(network) named, WORKGROUP as it usually is.
Share the new 8tb drive as say x y or z as it's letter. plug in the drive into the win7 x64 system, right click my computer, manage. right click the usb drive and change drive letter to one of those last unused letters.then in the options allow read and write to it.
sometimes in networking you have to tweak a bit for XP to be able to talk to win8,8.1, or 10, but 7 x64 is easy with xp.
either do all of that, or just buy a 256gb usb3 key on sale and move data like that.
