如何在PlayStation 4或Pro上将外部驱动器用作本地存储
PlayStation users have long wanted a way to plug in an external USB drive to their console and use it as local storage for games, apps, and the like. After years of waiting, Sony incorporated this feature in Software Update 4.50. Here’s how to do it.
PlayStation用户长期以来一直希望有一种方法可以将外部USB驱动器插入其控制台，并将其用作游戏，应用程序等的本地存储。 经过多年的等待，索尼在软件更新4.50中合并了此功能。 这是操作方法。
Before you get started, you should make sure to pick the right drive. If you have an old USB 2.0 drive lying around, I’d probably avoid that one as it will just be too slow. USB 3.0 drives will be the way to go, which should be prolific at this point. Just keep in mind that you’ll be playing games from this drive, so the faster it is, the better.
在开始之前，您应该确保选择正确的驱动器。 如果周围有旧的USB 2.0驱动器，我可能会避免这样做，因为它太慢了。 USB 3.0驱动器将是必经之路，在这一点上应该多产。 请记住，您将通过该驱动器玩游戏，因此速度越快越好。
With that in mind and drive in hand, go ahead and plug that bad boy in to your PlayStation. I’m using a PS4 Pro here, so my drive is plugged into the the USB port on the back of the unit, but it really doesn’t matter which way you go with it.
牢记这一点并加以推动，继续前进，将那个坏孩子插入您的PlayStation。 我在这里使用的是PS4 Pro，因此我的驱动器已插入设备背面的USB端口，但实际上走哪条路都没关系。
As soon as you plug it in, the PlayStation should show a notification letting you know it found the drive and you can install things on this drive. Click the notification to get started.
插入电源后，PlayStation会立即显示一条通知，告知您已找到驱动器，您可以在此驱动器上安装东西。 点击通知即可开始。
If, for some reason, it doesn’t show the notification, you can also jump into the Settings menu, scroll down to Devices, then select USB Storage Devices. Select your USB drive here. This should get you into the same menu as clicking the notification, had it actually been there.
如果由于某种原因它没有显示通知，您也可以跳到“设置”菜单，向下滚动到“设备”，然后选择“ USB存储设备”。 在此处选择您的USB驱动器。 如果实际上已经存在通知，这将使您进入与单击通知相同的菜单。
The next menu will let you know that you can install application (read: game) data here, but save files, screenshots, etc. will still be saved to the device’s local storage. Click “Next.”
下一个菜单将让您知道您可以在此处安装应用程序(读取：游戏)数据，但是保存文件，屏幕截图等仍将保存到设备的本地存储中。 点击下一步。”
You’ll see your drive’s details here. Confirm everything is correct (this can be crucial if you have more than one USB drive connected), then click the “Format as Extended Storage” button.
您将在此处看到驱动器的详细信息。 确认一切正确(如果连接了多个USB驱动器，这将至关重要)，然后单击“格式化为扩展存储”按钮。
A warning will pop up. Click “Format.”
一种 警告会弹出。 点击“格式”。
And one more warning. Sony really wants to make sure you know what’s happening here. Select “Yes.”
还有一个警告。 索尼真的想确保您知道这里发生了什么。 选择“是”。
This process shouldn’t take long, but it will depend on the size of the drive. Once it’s finished, however, you’ll get a notice letting you know it’s ready to go and is now the default location for storing applications.
此过程不应花费很长时间，但将取决于驱动器的大小。 但是，一旦完成，您会收到一条通知，通知您它已准备就绪，现在是存储应用程序的默认位置。
如何更改默认存储位置 (How to Change the Default Storage Location)
If you decide you want to keep installing applications to internal storage for a while, you can always switch the default location. To do that, jump into the Settings menu (it’s the little suitcase-looking icon in the Action Bar), then select Storage.
如果您决定将应用程序继续安装到内部存储一段时间，则可以随时切换默认位置。 为此，跳到“设置”菜单(这是操作栏中的手提箱状小图标)，然后选择“存储”。
Both drives should show up here, labeled as System Storage and Extended Storage, with the latter being your newly-added USB drive.
两个驱动器都应显示在此处，分别标记为“系统存储”和“扩展存储”，后者是您新添加的USB驱动器。
With either drive selected, click the Options button on the controller. This will open the side menu.
选择任一驱动器后，单击控制器上的“选项”按钮。 这将打开侧面菜单。
From here, select “Application Install Location,” then choose where you’d like things to be installed by default.
从此处选择“应用程序安装位置”，然后选择默认情况下要安装的位置。
And that’s that.
就是这样。
While it’s fantastic to finally have this as an option, it’s still not a perfect system. I’d like to see this as more of a dynamic solution, where it uses system storage initially, then dynamically moves over to external storage when there isn’t enough room internally, but maybe I’m just being too picky here. Overall, I’m glad this is finally possible.
最终拥有此选项虽然很棒，但它仍然不是一个完美的系统。 我想将其更多地看作是一种动态解决方案，它首先使用系统存储，然后在内部空间不足时动态地移至外部存储，但也许我在这里太挑剔了。 总的来说，我很高兴这终于有可能。
