Hey brehs, I need help setting up my external HD for the PS4

[Brandeezy]

I formatted it to ExFAT on my Mac first and when it was time to format it for the PS4 I keep getting an error message. There's nothing on the HD and it's a Passport 1TB if that helps. I've tried Googling/Youtubing but I can't find anyone else having this problem. I think it's because i'm using a Mac/Apple product to format it on smh

I literally just hooked mine straight up to the ps4 out the box and it worked fine. Didn't have to format it.


Did you at least try doing that first?

I formatted it on my Mac when i first got it since I wanted to clear some important stuff off it

Is it USB 3.0? List the steps you have taken

1gb. Do a swap for a 3 tb. Get a small portable drive from staples n swap it with the old one. Return it for a full refund.

Try formatting on a windows device? Might work.

I game on PC. So I can't verify it works, but...
