You need to repair the hard drive by performing a FULL format on it full not quick. This shall fix that issue completely. Try to full format it in order to restore its original performance. Please help me. I already full initialize and reinstall firmware. I started getting this error after I played Fall Guys. It keeps on crashing on my PS4 so we decided to play minecraft instead but when I open the game, it gives me the error ce 0.
Then I tried another disc game and it works. Next, I tried digital games, it boot up but it has glitches and it freezes. I only get the error when I update a certain game. Most probably the PS4 internal hard drive is suffering from bad sectors and must be full formatted on a PC.
Hi, I had the same issue with COD WW2 game , I tried do do everything, including replacing the original hdd with Sansung evo ssd, on top of it I cleaned whole ps4 inside by deassemble it and even replaced heat paste on processor, and I have still the same issue. I even replaced the game disk it self, can someone help please Ce 0. I would appreciate if you come again with your feedback on this issue, and whether the new solution has resolved it or not.
I had same issue and did same things to fix, your ps4 is shot, i got an answer from some tech forum, im trying to remember what it was graphics card or processor or something like that which was near the cost of just buying a new one. Hi, my games have constantly been crashing on my PS4.
When I first got my ps4 everything worked well no game crashes. After I got the game overwatch, something happened where the game files for overwatch became corrupted. After that point on, overwatch constantly crashed to the point I could not play. Then overtime it started happening to all my games. All my games began to crash while I am playing them.
At first it would only be one or two games but now it does not matter what I play, they all end up crashing. I am unsure as to what the issue is as I have rebuilt the data base numerous times and initialized my ps4 twice.
If anyone has any clues or tips as to what I should do I would deeply appreciate it. Try to choose a better hard drive replacement for PS4 instead of purchasing an identical copy. I started getting CE error code infrequently in-game in Fornite and Arc from what I recall a few months ago. I have since removed the external hard drive prior to reinitializing the entire system and that has not made a difference.
Has anyone had a similar problem and replaced the Hard Drive successfully clearing the issue? Finally, on further reading this may be a problem that could potentially be associated with the recent PS4 software updates. Thanks all. This act is usually caused by a bad sector on your PS4 hard drive. As for your games on the external hard drive, they will be also affected by the health status of the internal hard drive. Had same problem, did everything in your post plus put new hard drive in, no luck, bought a new ps4, at this point might as well wait for ps5.
So the only thing I have not tried is a new internal hard disk. I think you better wait a year or so before buying a PS5. The price then will go down, and many system errors that happen to new users would be fixed after a year of the PS5 launch date. Weirdly though, I managed to play TLOU2 without any problems before, even finished the story and got the trophies. It just kept crashing all of a sudden. Tried downloading my digital copy of RE2 to test if this error pops up in any other game.
It seems the hard drive is malfunctioning. Try to full-format the PS4 internal hard drive in order to fix this issue. Have you tried to full-format the PS4 internal hard drive? No joy at all. What are your thoughts on how I should proceed? Have you tried also to clear the CMOS memory? If yes, the problem then is mostly related to the motherboard not providing enough power to the hard drive. This is a common reason and one of our valued readers reported that once he upgraded to an SSD, the problem has gone, although he tried also different HDDs with no avail.
We value your feedback as it will help our readers understand this error better. Hi, I upgraded my hdd to a 2tb in when I bought my ps4, in mid it had an issue when I was updating the console, then early I received this error code ce for these games: heavy rain, beyond two souls and Detroit become human, and also Spider-Man ps4.
At first I initialized my ps4 and I never received that error when I played Spider-Man but I did for the other 3 games above. Then, last year I received it once when I was playing the last of us part 2. And now I have already received it 5 times, once in January for a lego game, crash bandicoot and crash team racing, I think it has to do something with my digital games, but my copies of Spider-Man and tlou 2 are physical copies.
Should I attempt to initialize my ps4 again and this time swap out the HDd to the original stock hdd? If I get the exact same thing as both hdd would I consider buying a new ps4 or ps5…. Your PS4 internal hard drive seems to be suffering from bad sectors. You need to full-format it on a PC and try again. I do not want to lose it. I have put like hours into it and have an amazing community on one of my servers.
Everything was going well. Then, all of a sudden my Wi-Fi started getting really slow. Now every time I open ARK, after around minutes of gameplay it crashes. Her PS4 is about a year old and never has had any real problems with crashing. Any ideas? Its her PS4 that is crashing, not mine. You have to first try to full format the internal hard drive of PS4 in a hope it will work. You can also read about PS4 crash and PS4 freeze. I recently got my PS4 like 2 weeks ago and I t got unplugged accidentally.
Ever since then it starts to give me this exact error code. It only gives me this error code on minecraft and every other game works fine for example GTA 5 a much bigger game. Please help me, is a hardware issue or sotware because I followed all these steps and still nothing. It seems the power issue impacted the PS4 internal hard drive and caused bad sectors on a part of it.
Please read this guide for more details. Before considering replacing it, try to full-format it on a PC to restore its original performance then check if it works. If not, we still have more ideas for you, so please come back to us with your feedback.
After about 2 — 5 minutes of gameplay, the game crashes with the error appearing. I have tried numerous things rebooting, safe mode, initialising, redownloading etc.. I downloaded a digital version Uncharted 4 and that crashed. I also tried a disc version and got the same error.
Lost Legacy is digital and that still crashes. Not really sure what to do but I have contacted PlayStation for a refund a few days ago but have not received any feedback. I think your PS4 internal hard drive is defective. You need first to try to full format it before considering a replacement. It still keeps crashing my games. You have upgraded the internal storage to an SSD, and installed PS4 system software from scratch, and everything went smoothly and flawlessly without an issue.
But when you try to play some games, your system crashes. Hi, so I did all the steps above and replaced my hard drive to a completely new one but my games are still crashing when I play them. Do you encounter this issue when trying to play games only or does it also happen with other apps?

By Seith March 12, Hello all! I did already plug it in to a PC and the PC confirmed that the drive was working just fine. It seems your PS4 system needs to be reset to its factory settings, as it undergoes some internal conflicts.
Make sure to take a copy of your game saves and all other files that you can back up, then perform the factory setting reset. Once the process is complete, turn off PS4, connect your external hard drive, plug the external hard drive into PS4 and finally turn on PS4 while the external hard drive is connected. So my new external hd has been in for only a week. Hardly enough time to get all my games on it and my ps quits out on me by not shutting down properly and making me eventually have to hold reset and power just to get it to shut off.
Finally the next day i turn it back on and of course… You guessed it. I must repair my ext. Hd to use. So i read this… Nobody had any valid info so i chose to turn off my ps4 correctly again and then turned it back on. This time it says it is repairing my hd. It did and the games still had the exclamation marks on them so i tried one anyway… It took a minite but it played so atleast that is a positive note.
No unplugging of any sort was needed and believe me… If i had to reformat and redownload all the games again i would not do it. Because this will happen again. It is a better bet to just get an 8tb internal if possible… Is it?
Or is 2tb max? Anybody know because i might still go that rout in the future. My ps does that stupid sheet all the time and its a brand new pro so wtf. Lucky me i guess… And yes… First i bought the seagate 8tb hd plus hub but was able to return it to staples for full refund even after opened so this isnt my first visit through here to read all of these so i hope this helps someone.
Have a great and wonderful day everyone! Thank you Brandon for telling us your experience that might help someone here having the same problem. Expanding the PS4 storage by upgrading the internal hard drive is a more reliable solution than going for external hard drives.
If you have a PS4 Pro, the maximum compatible internal hard drive available is 2tb. If you like an SSD, the maximum size is 4tb, but it is way too expensive. Hey, great and insightful forum! However, when I try to format it as extended storage, I get the error code CE Any suggestions? That means the format feature of the PS4 system is not working properly.
You can verify that by trying to format another external hard drive if possible. If the same message comes up, it means you either need to rebuild PS4 database to fix that error or fix the PS4 internal hard drive. You can do that either by directly connecting it via SATA cable, or just buy an external hard drive enclosure and connect it externally to a PC.
I have a 8TB WD external hard drive that I am trying to connect to watch media through the media player, but the PS4 will only recognise the smallest portion on the hard drive that can not be erased.
How do I get it to recognise the data I have stored on there? Or is the hard drive not supported for PS4? If it is possible to connect your external hard drive to another PS4 to check whether it works there or not.
Most probably it will work fine. The latter will delete all stored data on your internal hard drive, so be careful and take a backup. I see now what your problem is. You have a NAS external hard drive, not a regular one. Have majority of my games installed on it. Just recently my PS4 stopped recognizing it. Just says there is no storage device connected. The light on the hard drive works. Have you tried it first on a PC and check whether it works or not? In most cases this will fix that error.
I will try on my pc and see if I can find another PS4. I will get back to you with my findings. Thanks in advance! This will help many people who encounter the same problem. So it would appear that my computer reads the External Drive just fine. I cant access anything obviously because of the formatting the PS4 did prior.
I have to re-initialize the PS4 itself now? After reinitializing, head directly to update the system to the latest version before trying to use the external hard drive. Just wanted to update. Reinitializing my PS4 has worked and gotten the system to read my hard drive again. Thanks again for all your help! May your experience help someone with the same case. Thanks to you as well. Usually reinitializing PS4 can totally resolve that problem.
If I format it on laptop will that format it to use on PS4? Maybe my lads dropped it and not saying so it is broke. BUT, even though it cannot be opened without a format, other systems Windows for example would recognize the drive and show its icon. If you happen to format the external hard drive on your MAC, probably it will work again on PS4, you can give it a try.
Otherwise, the best test you can do is to connect it to another PS4 if possible and check whether it works there or not. If it does, then you have to factory reset the PS4. If verified, you have to perform a FULL format to eliminate any potential bad sectors that cause this issue. I am sorry to say that if your external hard drive works fine on a PC, some conflicts are occurring within the PS4 system that prevent it from recognizing the external hard drive.
After successfully accomplishing this operation, you have to directly update to the latest system software. Probably bad sectors. You have to check that on a PC. Additionally, you can further test your external hard drive by connecting it to another PS4 if possible and check whether it works fine or not.
This will dramatically help you determine the real cause of the problem. Hi, I have recently bought a 2TB external hard drive to use as extended storage but my PS4 will not recognise it, it is currently formatted the FAT32 and has been previously formatted to exfat both have been full formats but the PS4 will not recognise the HDD. Should I reinitialise the PS4 if so will this wipe all the data I have?? Firstly, check whether this external hard drive works properly or not by connecting it to a PC.
If it works, then your PS4 needs reinitialization. And yes, reinitializing your PS4 will wipe all stored data. So make sure to take a backup before carrying out that process. Please help.. Thanks in advanced!! Most probably your external hard drive is suffering from bad sectors. You can check it on DOS mode, if this problem persists, then your external hard drive needs replacement.
The drive is working perfectly well, I checked on my pc and PS3. Could you please enlighten me on what the problem is? Usually this issue is caused by application conflicts within PS4 system. This will most probably resolve this problem.
My ps4 all of a sudden wont recognize my Seagate 2tb external hard drive. Your external hard drive is suffering from a serious deficiency. You better consider a quick replacement for it. The best solution is to reinitialize the PS4 and reinstall the system software. You can only if it works. You will need then a disk clone software to back up your data.
I am always running out of storage space on my PS4, which means I have to either delete unused apps or saved screenplay videos in order to update apps. Do you know why it would say so much less than my laptop does? Or how I can fix this? Once again, all I want is to extract my saved capture gallery videos to create more space. The only way to resolve this is by formatting the external hard drive. HDD was formatted with a mb partition. I had to connect to my MacBook, remove the partition through Terminal it was pretty simple; followed a youtube video , and then when I reconnected it to my ps4, the ps4 formatted it to ExFat in about.
Best, Colton. Thanks for telling us about your experience. I truly appreciate that. May this help someone resolve their problem. As for the first console on which you were originally playing the game, the PS4 system learned that the game files were on an external storage, and when you try to play the same game from the disc, it will keep requiring the external storage on which the game was installed.
What you can do is to uninstall the game from your PS4 then reinstall it from the Disc. This should resolve this issue on the first PS4. As for the second console, PS4 system prevents fully copying a game to another console with the same license. You will always need the original external hard drive to play the game, or just buy a new license. Got a 6Tb seagate usb3 external. I have tried restarting the ps with external plug in and nothing. I have tried reformating from pc and tried ito in the ps and still nothing.
Can some one please tell me what next. A friend has the same external and has no problems. Hey anyone who has a 2. Never heard about this tip before. Thanks for sharing. May someone benefit from it. Hey had bought a seagate usb 2. Will this really solve my problem? Also if I do format it this way, what should be the allocation size? How much time will it take to actually do this for 1TB? Is there any other way which is faster?
I have done chkdsk healthy drive , looked for bad sectors none found , formatted it with command prompt to exFAT quick , right clicked on drive and then formatted it. After formatting it with cmd, exFAT option appeared. Clicked options button and then formatted it again to exFAT only to fail. Used tape to cover the middle two USB pins to force 3. Failed again as PS4 never reads the drive and light on external drive blinks slowly.
What should I do? I think you should know it is not a new drive, I used to store my data on this before, I deleted all the useless stuff and moved the worthy stuff to my other GB Seagate Expansion Drive external and have performed all this on this Seagate external drive too.
Guess what? There are a lot of questions in my post, please answer all. The only thread which is alive in !
Your external hard drive is apparently defective. The full format process takes between minutes only on a 1tb drive. If it takes way too long, your drive is dying and needs replacement. The average time for transferring 1gb file is 1 minute only. If the process goes fast flawlessly, try to transfer larger multiple files simultaneously say 10gb.
You should eventually realize then that the external hard drive itself is deficient. Please come back with your feedback on this solution so that may others benefit and you get further assistance if needed. If your laptop shows that the external hard drive works fine, most probably your PS4 needs to reinitialize.
You can locate the source of problem by connecting your external hard drive to another PS4 if possible. If it works fine, then surely your PS4 needs reinitialization. Otherwise, it needs a slow, full format on PC.
I have been using an external hard drive for well over a year now, and it works great, except that I have to repair the device any time its wire is even SLIGHTLY bumped.
With the wire for the EDD being so short, this was hard to avoid. Only the wire was changed… not the EDD. How do I get it to recognize it? Connect it first to a PC and see whether it recognizes it or not.
That means also all your stored data will be entirely deleted. Game saves, screenshots and trophies will be lost and are not downloadable unless you back them up to your cloud storage on PSN. On the other hand, you can only back up your game saves on an external USB storage device. Mine has worked fine for multiple months now and all of a sudden it is saying that the hard drive is unsupported.
It is a seagate 4tb. If possible, connect it to another PS4 and check whether it works fine or not. You need to reinitialize your PS4 and things will go right with you. I accidentally yanked the lead out of my 1tb seagate whilst playing a game it kicked me off and then I tried reconnecting it but it will still not show up as a device on my PS4 or Mac it has the light on the seagate to show there is power but it will not recognise my extended storage.
I have updated PS4 version 6. Is that the issue after I install the new PS4 version? Yes, this issue happens a lot when updating to a newer version. You have to initialize PS4 and update it to the latest version, then re-install all your games. Just bought a HDD 3. Read this post , it may help you. If not, the only solution you have then is to initialize the PS4. So i bought this Seagate 2TB plugged in with a cable and it has started beeping as of late and not being connected to the ps4. Connect it to a PC first and verify that it works fine.
If so, the problem then is with your PS4. Follow the instructions on this article. The comments are moderated on this website until the approval of the webmaster. So, you need some time to get them published. I have now tried to download a game on to the hd but it says that it cannot use this device and that it requires a usb 3.
How can I upgrade my hd to a usb 3. Since Sony first released the support for external hard drives to use as extended storage, it announced that it had to be USB 3.
So, rest assured that your external hard drive is USB 3. The only solution you can try is to initialize PS4, then immediately install the latest update after the completion of the process. Afterwards, try to connect the external hard drive again to your PS4, and check whether the issue has been resolved or not.
My PS4 is not recognizing the external storage device. Have you tried it on a PC to check its health? Probably your external HDD is defective and needs replacement. If it works fine on a PC, the problem then is with your PS4. Eventually, if none works with you, you need to initialize PS4. Seagate expansion 2 tb was working great but one day it ade some beep voice and ps4 did not recognized it I connected it in laptop and the same happened laptop could see that something was pluged in but could not recognice and the window did not popped in my pc.
I am sorry to say that. You need a technician to check that for you. Connect your external hard drive to the other PS4, does it work fine? If yes, your second PS4 needs to initialize. Mostly this is the solution to go for. Otherwise, come back and give us your feedback in order to help you further.
Beeping noise indicates hardware failure. Most probably your external hard drive has been damaged. But before judging, connect it first to a PC and see whether it gets recognized or not. On the other hand, if you can check it on another PS4 that would be even better. Accordingly, your external hard drive is defective. If you can, dismantle it and remove the hard drive from its enclosure and connect it directly to a PC. Check now whether it works or not.
If not, then it is dead. My seagate 4tb hd has worked well for quite some time. Excuse me, can you elaborate more on the reaction of your computer to the external hard drive? What exactly happens? When I connected it for the first time I started to synchronize and from one moment to another it appeared that I have I have restarted the console and I have not achieved anything. I also tried to connect it to the PC and although it does recognize it, I do not have the option to format it.
I have the screenshots but I do not know how to pass them. I need your help, the Game Drive is completely new and has not dropped water or fallen. You have to return the external hard drive. The PS4 external hard drive is fully encrypted and the data cannot be detected by a third party system.
Only PS4 system can detect the data. Need help. Initialize PS4 first and update to the latest PS4 system software version. This is supposed to fix the issue. This happened before and I all had to do last time was re-initialize my PS4 and it started working again.
I have connected it to my pc and it is working. After initializing PS4, have you installed the latest update? I have a seagate 4tb external hard drive, it has worked fine until recently. The light is on and if I leave it plugged in for a while it says usb hard drive not compatible. Any help you can give me is much appreciated, thank you. What you can do is to initialize PS4, then update to the latest version of PS4 system software update as the next step.
Now, connect the external hard drive and check whether it works or not. I have formatted it to exfat via the ps4 itself and when I try to format as extended storage I am given an error saying my drive needs to be usb3.
In this article we stated that HUB external hard drives are not compatible with PS4 as an extended storage, whereas it can work fine as a backup storage. Have you checked it first on a PC? If it works fine there, then your PS4 needs to initialize. This might happen due to a system conflict. Hi I have a 2tb seagate that has worked for about a year but today it just says that it has a capacity of This error is usually caused by a serious hard drive failure.
Most probably your external hard drive is defective and must be replaced. The PS4 operating system cannot start up from an external hard drive. You need to replace the internal hard drive with a new one. You can verify that by dismantling the external HDD enclosure and pulling out the hard drive then connecting it internally to a PC and check whether it recognizes it or not. I have been using a 4tb seagate hdd for the pass year and it has work fine but over the pass month I get an error at the top of my screen that the external hdd is not Recognized.
When I restart the ps4 the hard seems to work OK for a week or 2 again but then I get the error again. I have formated the hdd on a Pc but the issue happens again. This can happen because PS4 operating system is undergoing some program conflicts. Initializing PS4 and installing a clean copy of PS4 system software will usually fix this problem. If not, the problem then is with the external hard drive. Since it works for a while then shuts down, it can be the USB bridge that is failing to operate, not the hard drive itself.
You can check its health by connecting it internally to a PC and run some diagnostic software like Hard Disk Sentinel. My son has been using an external hard drive on their PS4 for about a year and a half now. This morning, I unplugged the PS4 with the hard drive connected to put him on a videogame time out for a while. We tried connecting it to a different port, to my computer, etc.
Same thing: beeping and not recognized. Or is there some way to recover that? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. Game saves are placed on the internal hard drive, and cannot be stored on the extended storage. So, if you get a new external hard drive, he can continue from where he ended.
By the way, before buying a new external hard drive, try to fix the current one. This might become faulty and needs replacement. This will save you money and efforts and it is worth to try. I have a Seagate 1 TB hhd and it worked for months and then just stopped working on my ps4 but when I hook it up to my computer it works just fine what step should I take next to get this to work on my ps4.
I have tried to format it on my pc and cant seem to figure out how to format it on my pc but when i hook it up to the ps4 it says theres nothing in the USB slot I know both of the slots work when I plug my controller in it charges just fine.
Well, this is usually caused by a core conflict in PS4 operating system. You need to initialize PS4 and it will work again for you.
Hey, I have a seagate external storage for my ps4. What do I do? Is the problem with my PlayStation or with my external storage? I have the Sony PlayStation 4 slim. Hi there. It can be either one, but often the problem comes from PS4 itself due to some program conflicts. If you have everything backed up, I strongly advise to initialize PS4 and then, as the next step, update to the latest PS4 system software version.
Now, try to connect the external hard drive again and check whether it works or not. Another solution can be also to connect your external hard drive to another PS4 if possible. This will show you definitely which one is the reason for this situation. Another solution also is to connect your external hard drive to a PC, and check whether it recognizes it or not. If not, this is a bad omen that your external HDD is the culprit.
So just yesterday my PS4 was using the external harddrive by Seagate flawlessly. Today it stopped working. The light is on when the device is plugged in but the PS4 wont let me connect to it. The external device is actually beeping when it is plugged in. Do you by chance know the problem? This is a common problem. But what I care most about is: does your PC recognize it once you plug it in or it acts like nothing is there, or that a defective drive is connected to it?
If it recognizes it as a normal new external hard drive, the problem is with your PS4. I have 2tb drive hooked it up and moved my games to it. Was hoping someone could help please. This new drive has worked well for the last year or so. However today I got the CE error message. Checked the HDD was fitted properly but still got the error message. Swapped the original GB back in which used to work fine! Sorry for the long post just want to give as much detail as possible!
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks so much for the answer! Love the site btw. Lots of useful info here. My 4 tb Seagate worked for a little over half a year, fell from about a 1. Still turns on, works on other PlayStations just not mine. Noted, the PlayStation also fell from the same height, albeit very slowly and both landed on a semi soft surface.
I got a new cord thinking that was the original problem. I was really wrong. When I look at the ways you list to fix them.
None of them seem like they would work and a few I have already tried. So, PS4 system is most likely the issue, but how do you think I could fix that? Then re-initialize it, I saw you told someone else to do that.
Hope it works. You need to update to the latest version of PS4 system software once you finish initializing. I think you have forgotten that.
Hopefully this will work now. I am pleased to help. Let me understand this point. Have you tried switching between the ports then?
Try another port and see if it works there. Answering these questions properly will give me a better insight on figuring out where the problem is.
So I still need to test out the flash drive bit. And yes, I have tried both ports numerous times. You have to try another storage device to determine exactly where the problem is.
I might end up having reformatted to a different PlayStation, and see if my PlayStation can see it. This is not supposed to help. Do you see it? I will try fixing it using the computer. Nothing new shows up, nothing disappears. I think it might just be a lost cause. Ok, now I see that your external hard drive is the reason for all this innocent PS4! You can just make your last step and connect any external storage device to your PS4 and verify whether it works properly or not.
If it does, the external HDD is surely the reason. Apologies for the late response. Last night I started developing an illness and it lasted with me until this moment.
I have been using the same external hard drive and usb cable for months with no problem. A few days ago I lost power during a storm while playing. It is directly connected, has 3tb of storage on it, and I am using the same usb cord that it previously accepted yet it says I do not meet the conditions.
Have you initialized PS4? Afterwards, try connecting the external HDD and it should work. It happen only with borderlands 2, I can play the other games as well and nothing happen. It started first when I put my ps4 in rest mode while downloading borderlands 2, and there is some corrupted files in it. Please come back with your feedback in order to enrich this article with more experiences.
Do you have any link to a website that concern all the ps4? S: if you want some picture about my last comment where I can send them?
I think the external hard drive is corrupted and is suffering from bad sectors that caused some data loss. No I turned off the ps4 while waiting your response and I contacted Sony and they told me that if it say to format I have to format.
I plugged it into a laptop and it worked fine. What should I do. I have my usb storage device plugged in and it says no usb is plugged in andd ive rebooted my ps4 multiple times and still wont work. Actualy I tried other games too but neither of them would work. After that I formatted the hard drive with pc and again I plugged it to ps4 and formatted it but again games wouldnt load.
Most probably the PS4 database is corrupted. Try to rebuild PS4 database and it should work.
