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 so far. Plugged it in, formatted it, was able to transfer PS4 and PS5 game files to it.

Using it for my PS4 games on PS5. Its loading the games just about as fast as on internal storage (I assume due to speed limitations with PS4 titles on PS5). This is good though, so I can save internal storage for PS5 games.

This is a phenomenal drive to expand your gaming library. Powered by a FAST SSD, you wont be disappointed with the speed of the drive. Personally, I have been using it as an external Steam Library. Quite frankly, I dont find any slowdown and Loading times are as fast as ever. I was getting close to my internal NVMe speeds with this, which is insane. Powered via USB-C, using it with my MacBook or PC, I was getting like 1.8GB read speeds which is phenomenal. Writing speeds are a little slower at about 1GB but, holy smokes...that is impressive. My PC has a 20Gb USB Port which the P50 definitely takes advantage of. Unfortunately, the 10Gb port is more common which will result in slower speeds overall.

Bought this for my son to use as an external drive for video editing. He needed more storage connected to his iMac for his file cache in Adobe After Effects, so speed was critical. Per his comments he is both really satisfied with the performance, reliability, and that it runs cool. Overall, hes very happy with it and get better performance from his apps now that the file cache is off the system drive.

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

Easy to use solution for transferring my games from ps4 to ps5.

Bought for a gift for my son, who is a gamer. He koves it.

This thing is awesome for being an external drive!! The only grip I have are the people complaining its not reaching its full potential. Learn how to read and do research. Also, learn that is it dependant on your system and not just what the company says. When it says up to, it doens mean it will.

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.

This not just an SSD (solid state drive)
