Hacking Can I install PKGs using USB 2.0 devices?

[NANASHI89]

I had to use a 3.0 device to install the 5.05 update, but can I install PKGs using a 2.0 device?

The only requirement is exfat.

Anyone know why it's only exfat? And if fat32 or ntfs will be added?

So, format my flash drive to exFAT, and it will install PKGs?

How many times are you going to ask the same question?

NTFS isn't supported and FAT32 has a max. file size of 4GB.

EDIT: Yep USB 2.0 will get you around 20 MB/s while USB 3.0 will get you up 100 MB/s depending on your USB Stick

Yes you can but transfer speed is sloooooow

I have a USB 2.0 HDD (it's a portable external 120GB HDD, so a 2.5 laptop HDD in a cradle) that wont work for me.
I can't get the Package Installer to see any pkg files on it, either formatted as NTFS or as exFat.

It shows up under devices>USB Storage Devices but when I use the installer it says nothing found.
The pgk files are in the root but they just wont show up. I've tried using pkg files that I know work on other USB keys but still no luck.

what am I doing wrong? this is the only USB I have over 16GB, so I really need it to work.

External HDD are normally marked as fixed (i.e detected as a real HDD) while USB Stick are most of the time marked as removeable, and don't even try NTFS it won't work use exFAT

I guess thats the problem just buy a 64 GB or so USB Stick these are cheap anyways.

And another example my PC detects my external 4 TB HDD as a Floppy Disk Device for some reason in the UEFI but i can still use it normally in Windows or Linux

As other had said, transfer speed would be your problem 20MB for USB 2.0 vs like 100MB for USB 3.0

I think your right, I as hoping there was something I was missing and I could avoid buying another USB key but I think I'll have to bite the bullet on this one!

thanks for your help.

You could upgrade your ps4's hard drive with a portable external HDD, then put the old ps4 HDD into the external case and use that to transfer packages, to your new bigger internal HDD
