QuestionFor a PS4 Pro, Is it loud? Is it worth spending $60 more over a 8TB easystore or $40 over a 8TB MyBook?
Asked 5 years ago by zzzz.
- Answer I have it on my Xbox1 X, It isn't loud at all. Games are def loading quicker. But that all depends how much space you are taking up on the hard drive. You will tend to have longer load times as the drive has to cycle through more files to access the one you want to load. Both Microsoft and Sony need to implement a defrag setting to keep things loading quicker/smoother. Keep in mind we have new systems on the horizon and these Hard Drive may not be compatible with them.

QuestionWhat is the Warranty for this Drive? WD states all Black Drives have a 5 year warranty but this site states this drive only has a 3 year warranty?.
Asked 6 years ago by CFH2018.
- Answer I believe the 5yr WD warranty is the factory warranty. Coverage is limited. The 2 or 3 year offered (i forget which they offer) is the bedt buy warranty. If it breaks, bring it in and swap it out as long as it doesn't look like you beat it up. I personally always prefer Best Buy's hassle free warranties. Hope that helps.

QuestionI want to use this to play movies on my television. The PC has a eject option for external hard drives, but the TV does not. What is the power-down procedures for this drive, other than just cutting the power? I'm concerned about damaging the drive.
Asked 5 months ago by workfromhomedude.
- Answer Hi, Please be informed that the behavior may vary depending on your TV's make and model. As a general recommendation, please ensure that all playback or recording has stopped before turning off the TV or disconnecting the drive to help avoid potential data issues. For specific power-down or eject procedures, we suggest referring to your TV manufacturer's user guide.

QuestionCan you use this hard drive for video editing instead of an internal hard drive? Meaning the source video files are stored here instead of moved to the computer's internal drive?
Asked 2 years ago by CyberFighter.
- Answer Hello! You can use it for video editing. Its a pretty fast drive but you could still get a little lag. You might look at the new SSD Crucial drives. They are even faster and Best Buy has them on sell. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/crucial-x6-se-4tb-external-usb-c-usb-a-portable-ssd-black/6457936.p?skuId=6457936. Also it depends you what computer you are using The new computers have USB 3 and Thunderbolt 4 which are way faster to work with the faster drives.

QuestionJust bought this and had an idea. Can you use this simultaneously with an xbox and a playstation??? It has a massive amount of storage and it would be great if i could use it for both
Asked 2 years ago by HelpDaddy.

QuestionHow well does Best Buy package this hard drive if I choose to ship it to my house? Thanks
Asked 5 years ago by John.
- Answer I wish I would have seen this sooner, because I would have taken a photo of the packaging. It was packaged very well and delivered by a local driver that picks up the drive from a local store and delivers it in their personal vehicle to your door. This is great, because you don't have to worry about a warehouse delivery service throwing it around. I am an exclusive best buy member, so I dont know if this is the norm for deliveries or not, but I love it and will spend money there to keep that membership active. They also do same day delivery free with this membership. I pay nothing extra for it. It is based on how much you buy from them in a given year.

QuestionSo I want to buy this for my PS5 and I’m wondering if this like a hard drive where it stores all the stuff outside of the console or is it like where it’ll add storage to the PS5 and say 8000 gigs instead of my 850.
Asked 11 months ago by JacobBuysThings.
- Answer Hi, The WD Black D10 is an External USB 3.2 hard drive that stores games outside your PS5. It doesn't add to your internal storage. You can store and play PS4 games from it, but PS5 games must be moved back to the internal SSD to play.
