10 months agoI won’t reiterate what people have already said. What I will note, is that if you’re exposing a port for an application, you should probably in most instances be proxying it through your webserver with the appropriate mitigations to common attack vectors. This could be something as simple as a deny_all or as thorough as CORS/CSRF checking. However in all instances, this will at least prevent you from exposing ports externally.
If you want an additional layer of security, use a gateway to redirect traffic to your webserver.
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.
