    It’s insane how many people are completely uninformed in this comment section. Only 3.5 inch HDDs require an external power source. Since this is a 2.5 inch drive, and because it clearly states 5V @ 1.0A on the label, it can absolutely be powered by USB.

    I’m guessing your issue is because the drive isn’t displaying in your explorer once you’ve connected it to the PC. This is because PlayStations format the drive with encryption to prevent counterfeiting of game files etc. You need to go to the device manager and reformat the disk for it to be accessible.
