How to Format USB drive to Work on PS5 to exFAT PC (Best Method)
1To get a USB drive to work with your PS5, especially for moving video clips, screenshots, or game saves, it must be formatted to the correct file system. The best file system for this purpose is exFAT, as it supports large files (unlike FAT32) and is compatible with both PS5 and PC (unlike NTFS).
Here's the best method to format a USB drive to exFAT on a PC so it works on your PS5. This process will erase all data on the drive, so be sure to back up any important files first.
Method: Using Windows File Explorer (The Easiest Way)
This method is straightforward and doesn't require any third-party software. It works for most standard USB drives and external hard drives.
Connect the USB Drive to Your PC: Plug the USB drive you want to format into an available USB port on your computer.
Open File Explorer:
Press the Windows key + E on your keyboard to open File Explorer.
Alternatively, open the Start Menu and select the File Explorer icon.
Find Your USB Drive: In the left-hand menu, click on "This PC" to see a list of all your drives. Find your USB drive in the list. It will typically be listed as a removable disk with a drive letter (e.g., "E:").
Open the Format Window:
Right-click on your USB drive.
From the drop-down menu, select "Format...".
Configure the Format Settings: In the pop-up window, configure the following settings:
File system: From the drop-down menu, select "exFAT". This is the most crucial step.
Volume label: (Optional) You can give your drive a name, like "PS5_USB."
Quick Format: Ensure the "Quick Format" box is checked. This will perform the format much faster.
Start the Formatting Process:
Click the "Start" button at the bottom of the window.
A warning message will appear, reminding you that all data on the drive will be erased. Read it carefully, and if you're ready, click "OK" to confirm.
Wait for Completion: The formatting process will begin. It should only take a few seconds or minutes. Once it's complete, a "Format Complete" message will appear.
