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

Works great. Does allow for loading things faster than a speedy HDD. As others mention though, it was weird having to “shove” the USB-C cable harder into the SSD port, because otherwise it would refuse to be recognized by my PS4Pro.

I love SSD. When installing this drive on my PS4 (also works with my XBOX, but I already have one of these, the 4TB model, on it) it is simple as can be. Just plug it in, go into the PS4 setting and select it as external storage. I then direct the game system to install (or copy) games there. And WOW is the launch speed improvement huge. GTA, for instance, launches twice as fast. Not to mention having an extra 1TB of storage space a really nice thing.

Super small job for a way OP unit. All it was for was shared internal storage on an Nvidia Shield TV Pro. Not external data storage, only app and cached data to augment the spartan 12GB on the Nvidia. Five days was all it took for this PoS to complete stop and lock up my system. I replaced it with a Samsung T7 that I should have bought initially and knew when I did it. But twice as fast read write on USB 3.2 sold me. Twice as fast when non-operational in not fast at all. Didnt even have a Gig of data on the thing yet and it should have been colossal overkill for my setup.

Original review: Works well! Sturdy and small. Usb-C connection which is fantastic! Writing and loading games on it is instant. Huge gamer but don’t pay attention to all the technical. I play my game and can compete with no flaws.

Using on Xbox one s, most of the time I have ti plug, and unused the drive to get the system to read it, then, most of the time it comes up with a corrupted file message, or tells me my games are not installed.

This compact and lightweight has the superior speed for my PS5 and PS4 games as well as loading times are very practical.

Its fast, easy to use and works well for storage or gaming. It has normal USB, also USB C capability and good capacity too. Its a good, quality solid state drive like most products are that are made by WD.

Yes

Super compact compared to my old external hard drive that died a few months ago. Im using it with my Xbox one X. really easy to install plugged it in and turned the Xbox on and it popped up a prompt to use it for media or format for games. My last traditional mechanical external hard drive lasted 5 years (my son had the Xbox going almost 24/7) . Im hoping to get a long time out of this on also. My son will be rough on it so time will tell.

Bought it for my PS5 - games stored on the drive play just as fast as the internal SSD. Thats a true feat if you know about the PS5s vaunted internal SSD. Luckily, I got it on sale for $350.
