What works. What doesn't.
Speed
Up to 130MB/s read over USB 3.2 Gen 1. Fine for storage, slow for copying large PS5 games back to the console.
Capacity limits
2TB, 5TB and 6TB versions, all within Sony's 8TB USB limit.
Installation
USB-powered, with a USB-A to Micro-B cable in the box. Sony requires a direct connection, not a hub.
