WD_BLACK 1TB P50 Game Drive SSD - Portable External Solid State Drive, Compatible with Playstation, Xbox, PC, & Mac, Up to 2,000 MB/s - WDBA3S0010BBK-WESN

very pleased with both the service and product

This is exactly what I wanted and it delivers above and beyond. I transferred 2 games totalling 65GB and it took around 3 minutes!!! That is insane!

Update 9/10/21

Well.. hotter than I wish. You cant leave it connected... gets hot just sitting there. However, works fine.

Works fine so far. Using it as PS4 external storage.

Runs my COD Cold War well.

Works great with ps5

Unfortunately the gaming world has yet to properly come up with a way for an individual to actually add proper memory to their console without opening it up. Does the SSD game drive allow you to store info on it? Yes. Does it mean that your game was now put into the SSD? Yes. So you’re going to have to reinstall it onto your gaming console, which is significantly faster, like way faster - minutes as opposed hours, but you still have to reinstall. Also, it gets hot. Really hot so make sure it’s not on top of it too close to sides of PS5. Otherwise it overheats and will interrupt your game to tell you so you’re probably gonna get shot or miss that jump lol. For PS4 games it holds many and is an easier conversion but was really trying to allow the hubs to expand his newest COD game to be able to play campaigns which takes a bunch of memory. Although the SSD helps with what we needed, anytime we want to play a game we previously downloaded we have to reinstall quickly and in which case often removes other info on console to make space for new game. I am going to attempt second option where I will physically open console and add memory within the unit since gaming websites suggest anyone who is semi tech savvy to upgrade memory like that. PS Website has similar info but obviously doesn’t tell you to take apart your unit lol.

BUYERs beware of this con artist. BTW i want A refund

First off I have to mention, as with any and every hard drive, you will never get the full terabyte of space regardless of if it’s formatted to be totally empty or there’s an operating system on it or not. That’s how hard drives work, so those people leaving bad reviews because they didn’t get the “full” 1TB just don’t understand drives and file systems and calculated space vs actual. We’re not going to go on and on about that, if you’re going to fork out the money for it then you should already know that. This is the best external drive you can get for PS5 (if you get the SSD model). This SSD is nearly as fast as the internal PS5 drive. It can move game files very quickly and I’m impressed. I play almost all my PS4 games off of it with no issues (Fallout 76, GTA5, Warzone, Division 2). Load times are equally as fast. This includes both USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A. If you read the articles about the PS5 you should also already know that you have to use the USB ports in the back of the console (No USB hubs/Splitters/docking station) or the USB-C port in the front in order to use the high speed data transfer. It’s worth the money, especially with the coming release of the internal SSD upgrade update for PS5 because the price of those just went sky high and on back order. So if you need something to hold you over until then, this is your sure winner. Western Digital makes high quality stuff, will also work perfectly for personal PC storage if your computer has the latest USB gen ports AND your computers internal hard drive is rated for these speeds.
