What File System does the Ps4 Use?

How to Format an External Hard Drive for PS4

You'll need to make sure your hard disk, SSD or USB drive is formatted using the FAT32 or exFAT file systems – the PS4 doesn't support the NTFS file system. We recommend exFAT, because it supports files that are over 4GB in size.

Does the PS4 have a File System?

PFS (Pseudo/Playstation File System) is the file system used by (at least) downloadable content and games on the PS4. It is loosely based on the UFS (Unix File System) used in FreeBSD. PFS typically uses a 64kB block size, although the block size is configurable and specified in the file system header.

Does PS4 Use Ext4?

Nope, PS4 still can't read those Microsoft owned formats. It's still FAT32 only. Wonder why Sony doesn't use ext4. If you're talking about in addition to Fat32, or Exfat, then that'd be neat.

What is ExFAT on PS4?

By all modern means, exFAT is the only system that should be used to make sure that the data is transferred in large chunks. The minimum file size that can be transferred to and from PS4 to the external drive is about 16GB but with exFAT, this increases to at least 50GB per file.

What File System does PS5 Use?

In order to get your USB drive to speak to your PS5 properly, you need to make sure it is formatted to exFAT or FAT32. FAT32 can restrict file sizes, so in most cases, exFAT would be the more suitable option.
