QuestionWill it work on a ps5 and hp chrome book laptop?
Asked 5 years ago by Ps5queen.
- Answer To use HDD with a PS5, once plugged in, go to settings and under external storage it will require you to format the drive to only be used with your PS5/PS4. It cannot be used anywhere else unless formatted again. It (will work) for your CHROMEBOOK out of the box, and a pc, long as it hasn’t been set to your PlayStation console.

QuestionHow much Maximum Current does it draw? Did not find it in the specifications. I am trying to buy an external USB_3.0 Hub to connect it and would like to know the current amount the USB_3.0 Hub should be able to handle. Thanks.
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer It is meant to run off the power that is supplied by your computer so, I can't see that you would have any problem especially if you use a powered hub. I plug mine directly into the USB socket on my computer because I use it for my TimeMachine back up.
