I do hope that there’s a firmware update in the future that addresses this goofy issue, because I’m inevitably going to run out of space on the 4TB drive and will need to upgrade again. And it could have been completely avoided had Sony just allowed for two external hard drives to be used simultaneously, even if only for transferring purposes. It’s messy and downright time-consuming (moving even a single TB of data can take over an hour and a half). Keep in my that I had to do this in batches, because my PS4 Pro only has a 1TB internal hard drive. So i got in contact with Seagate support, and they said I could send the drive to them, and that I would get a replacement drive. When i got it, it was making some very weird sounds, like scratching, and so on. Then I moved everything from my full 2TB external drive to the now-empty internal, swapped the 2TB drive and the 4TB drive again, then moved everything from the internal to the 4TB. A bit over a month ago I bought a Seagate Backup Plus Hub 12TB. What's involved? Well I had to first move all the contents of my internal hard drive over to the new 4TB one to free up space, and once the internal drive was empty, I unplugged the 4TB drive and plugged in my older at-capacity 2TB portable. Since the PS4 firmware only allows for one external drive to be used at a given time, the process of moving software between them is unnecessarily tedious. Once formatting has finished, a green dot will appear next to the operational drive.
