Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the Game Drive's ample storage, ease of use, and compact size as major advantages, with many appreciating the LED lighting and reasonable price. However, some customers have expressed disappointment regarding compatibility, as it does not support direct play or storage of PS5 games.

    This is perfect. I got ps4 game from ps4 days and downloaded it all into this hard drive. Best thing, you can play the ps4 games straight from the hard drive. The only con is you can't play ps5 games from it. You have to download it into the console hard drive to play it.

    This is a must if you have the PS4. Tons of memory and you can play the games right from the Hard Drive. So far, I have about 22 games stored in it with plenty of space for more. So far, so good.

    This is good hard drive for your PS5. It’s fast and games play great. It’s a Seagate so I expect the best.

    PlayStation External Hard Drive - Do it, Buy It

    Best Buy online order and pick up in store was a breeze. Super easy set up and use of the external hard drive for our PS5. HIGHLY recommend getting yourself one to avoid having to delete and reinstall games. We moved some PS5 games from the main system hard drive to the external in a matter of minutes. You can still play games while they're saved on the external hard drive without having to move them back over to the main hard drive. Wished I would have purchased this months ago!

    Very good size, does not attract attention and matches the classic Ps5 very well. I do not know if it is my own lack of technical knowledge, but it seems that I can only pay Ps4 games off this hard drive. I could be missing a setting that will allow me to play Ps5 games, as it requires me to copy the download over to my ps5 hard drive. Considering most things have a Ps4 version, I am not too bothered by this personally as I have over 50 games on it and still have a 1.99 TB left.

    This hard drive is definitely good for storing ps4 games to free up space. The only downside to me is that PS5 games when moved still takes a while to transfer them back and forth but other than that, very good hard drive with a lot of space.

    Awesome for adding storage to your PlayStation. Now days because you have to download every game. You will eventually need something like this.

    Easy to setup and works great! Can play PS4 games directly from the drive and allows PS5 games to be stored so it is faster to move them back to the console to play over deleting and redownloading the entire game in the future. I recommend this drive for anyone with more than just a few games in their library.
