Yes, you can transfer PS4 data to PS5 via USB.
Using USB will require a lot of time, and this process has the potential for data loss. Thus, I will introduce the best Alternative for data migration using USB: EaseUS Todo PCTrans Professional. This reliable data transfer can easily select and move data from PS4 hard drives to PS5 hard drives.
Step 1: Attach the original hard disks for your PS4 and PS5 to your PC.
Step 2: Open EaseUS Todo PCTrans and select "App Migration > Start."
Step 3: Locate and choose the PS4 data that needs to be moved.
Step 4: To specify the source and destination locations, click the triangle symbol.
Step 5: To start the process of moving PS4 data to PS5, press the "Transfer" button.
How to Migrate data and games from PS4 to PS5:
Note: Prepare an empty USB and plug it into your PS4 first.
Step 1: Turn on the PS4 and go to Settings > System Storage > Saved Data > Copy to USB Device under Application Saved Data Management.
Step 2: Select the games and save files you wish to transfer to your PS5.
Step 3: Press the Copy option to select the files you want your PS4 to copy to the USB drive.
Step 4: After the data migration, unplug the USB drive from your PS4 and connect it to your PS5.
Step 5: On the PS5, select Console Storage from Settings > USB Drive > Saved Data (PS4) > Game/App Settings.
