Can you install and run PC Games on this device? null

Hi Javier, The WD EasyStore hard drive is designed to be used with Windows or macOS computer. We have not tested the drive on the gaming stations We have a different range of gaming drive. The drive is to use as an external storage so you can keep any data in the drive or you can perform the backup jobs by connecting the external hard drive to a computer.

Technically you can but external storage hd's (non ssd) tend to be slower on xfer times so probably not advisable

I have been, through Steam. No issues so far.
