Ps5 on 4.03 crashes when external SSD is connected. Please help...

----SOLVED----

Hi everyone,

This might be an skill issue from my part as I am new to the scene, just wondering if someone could please lend me a hand.

I have a Samsung EVO 960 SSD 250 GB exFAT, that I have tried connecting to the PS5 with now two different enclosures and I am having the same issue.

Enclosures:

Orico M2 Nvme upto 10Gbps

Ugreen M2 up to b10Gbps

I originally thought the orico was faulty, so I just bought the Ugreen. Unfortunately, the second I connect the enclosure, the PS5 crashes. I have tried all the different ports. It does not crash the PS5 if it has not been jailbroken, it happens after the exploit has taken place.

I have tried jailbreaking with the enclosure connected, but the Y2JB won't run.

After Y2JB jailbreaks, I have Payload manager come up and run etaHen 2.5B, ShawdowMountPlus, back pork and nanoDNS.

I have tried connecting the enclosure with one Payload active at a time, but I think the issue is not with payloads but with the jailbreak.

P.s

\- this was also happening with the website exploit (umtx2).

\- it happens with another spare SSD that I have ( Samsung 256GB PM981 Gen 3 exFAT).

The PS5 is launch edition, bought in Japan (if that even matters)

What could I be doing wrong? Could you please help me!

Many thanks in advance.

🙏

Solved:

Ugreen enclosure with Samsung PM981 are working.

Details:

It seems that there were two issues...

  1. The PS5 might not like the Orico enclosure.
  2. The Evo 960 might be faulty. ( Loads up fine in windows and files transfer to it fine, but there could be something going on with it, does not work on the Ugreen enclosure either, PS5 throws a message something like drive format not recognized, even though it is formated to exFAT)

I decided to format the Samsung 256GB PM981 with allocation size 256 and I placed it in the Ugreen enclosure, it is working!!!

Thank you for those who suggested ideas.
