According to the official PlayStation website, the PS5 supports USB extended storage with the following requirements:
- SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps or later
- 250 GB minimum, 8 TB maximum capacity
- Not all devices are guaranteed to work with the PS5
Most USB 3.0 external hard drives should work with the PS5, but they will need to be formatted correctly. However, its important to note that external hard drives can only be used to store PS4 games and media files, not PS5 games. PS5 games must be stored on the consoles internal SSD or an internal M.2 SSD expansion.
In summary, any USB 3.0 external hard drive that meets the requirements listed on the PlayStation website can be used to store PS4 games and media files, but not PS5 games.
