QuestionWhat should I be looking for when I choose an external hard drive?Luigi Oppido is the Owner and Operator of Pleasure Point Computers in Santa Cruz, California. Luigi has over 25 years of experience in general computer repair, data recovery, virus removal, and upgrades. He is also the host of the Computer Man Show! broadcasted on KSQD covering central California for over two years.The number one thing I tell people when they're looking to get an external hard drive is to go with a name brand. You want to make sure you're choosing a manufacturer who's been around for a while and knows what they're doing. Something made by Seagate or Western Digital would be good.

QuestionNow that I have the backup data, what do I erase in the Playstation internal hard drive?Community AnswerYou can delete anything you have moved onto the external drive. Just creating the folders does not move any games into it. You have to manually transfer data, be it games, videos, pictures or saves.
