First, make sure your external hard drive is USB 3.0 and has a capacity between 250 GB and 8 TB. Plug it into one of your PS4's USB ports, then go to 'Settings' > 'Devices' > 'USB Storage Devices'. Select your hard drive and choose 'Format as Extended Storage'. Boom! You're all set!

Honestly, just plug it in and format it. Takes like 2 minutes.

Pro tip: I connected a 2TB external hard drive to my PS4 for extra games. Make sure to format it through the console's settings to avoid issues.
