A step by step guide on connecting an external storage device to your PlayStation 5 including setup and how to manage your games on it once it's formatted on your PS5.See below link for compatible drives.

With the correct drive it can be a great way to extend the storage capabilities of your PS5 console, and you can seamlessly copy your PS5 games back to the console’s internal storage when you’re ready to play.
It is faster to reinstall PS5 games from USB extended storage than to re-download or copy them from a disc.
