Customer Ratings & Reviews

This SSD is fast, compact, and very easy to use. The 2TB capacity gives me plenty of extra space for games, and loading and transferring files feels noticeably faster than a regular external hard drive. I also like the solid build and portable size. It works great as extra storage for both gaming and everyday use.

Great external storage device. Plenty of space for additional PS5 games. Great price too!

When using a PS5 you can store your PS4 games on this and play them directly from it without needing to download them onto the system.

I needed some space for my Series S, so I decided to buy this. It's a little pricy for my liking, but I'm sastified.

Conveniently small and the rgb lights on sides are unnecessary, but it's cool. Also, it's super quickly .

I ordered this, and it arrived via USPS, i believe, this as a Christmas gift. To my surprise, when i opened it, there was 1 piece of bubble wrap. Why would you do that to an item that can be damaged so easily? Now i have to wait till Christmas to see if it's damaged. Do better Best Buy!

PS5 games cannot be downloaded; only PS4 games can be. The recommendation is to use the internal drive. I don't think you should mention the PS5 if it isn't compatible.

Great storage and speeds! Dramatically improved my gaming experience off of a laptop!

Companion overload! More space and speed for the PS5 than I expected. I love the cloud but this puts the speed at home and in your hands for gaming.

Easy to set up with Xbox One to expand the device memory. Formatting was simple with Xbox asking a few questions. Transferring inactive games off of the device drive was quick and easy.

This thing has been a lifesaver! I ran out of room on my computer a while back and had to delete and redownload games just to play what I want. I was told about this hard drive from a friend. I got it and was able to download all the games I wanted and still have plenty of room. Great buy!
