Hacking How long it takes to backup a ps4 game?

[eriol33]

hey guys, I want to ask how long it usually takes to backup a ps4 game using usb 3.0 connection. I am currently backing up my deus ex mankind divided installation, it's about 30 minutes already and only 8% completed. WTF. if it takes this long I probably will give up backing up my games and rely on downloading fake pkgs.

What are you backing up to? A USB stick? Is it 3.0 or 2.0? The flash stick itself needs to have good speeds. What's the model?

Also, write speeds are slower than read speeds.

Are you backing up from the internal HDD or from another external? (probably internal, since I don't think it works from extended storage).

I used an external 2.5 hdd yes it's 3.0

I've backed up quite a few games, and the biggest game that I backed up was God of War 3 Remastered. It came down to almost 47 Gb, and it took my PS4 Pro around 20 to 25 mins to finish dumping the whole thing to my USB 3.0 Seagate 1TB.

Depends on the type of the external hard drive, my external SSD (from an old Macbook air) took less than 10min to dump 40GB game
