I got a computer from you guys about 2 years ago. The hard drive crashed a few months ago. Would this fix that?
The ASUS TUF A1 enclosure itself won't resolve the issue, you would need an M.2 SSD to go inside it to connect with your computer. You can run Windows from an external SSD enclosure, but the standard Windows installer blocks direct installation to USB drives. The best solution would be to replace the interal SSD if it is a hardware issue and reinstall Windows.
With the SSD inside, can I play playstation 5 games in it or only storage them?
You can only store PlayStation 5 games on an SSD inside the ASUS TUF Gaming A1 enclosure, not play them directly from it. How It Works on PS5: For PS5 games you can use the enclosure as extended storage to offload PS5 games and save space, but you must copy them back to the console's internal storage to play them. However, you can play PlayStation 4 games directly from the ASUS TUF Gaming A1 when it is plugged into your PS5.
