Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this to offload a bunch of data from an old FreeNas server that I had been using for years on an HP ML350. I moved all of the data over to this and have plenty of room left, and the performance of this single USB3 external disk is easily as good as the old server was for the way I'm using it. Happy with the purchase, might get another one.

Though it is a Hard disk drive, very fast in tranferring large files to it. Very speedy. You won't feel like you are using a hard disk drive. Nice investment

Gperfect to never have to worry about storage again on my ps5. You would never know this is a mechanical drive honestly notice no difference from the 1tb ssd I had used prior. So worth the extra money.

Very good drive! It's faster than my previous 2TB HD enclosure and very quiet for a 7200rpm drive. I like the auto sleep function which wakes up in a few seconds on access. Enhanced my system performance overall.

I used this external drive to manage the transfer of data from an old computer to the new one, where the new one did not have as much storage as we needed. (I switched from magnetic hard drive to solid-state.) It was between two iMacs. I set up the WD_BLACK as one giant 8-TB partition and put our Documents folder there, along with a spare backup of the entire old computer. Everything has been seamless, but of course the drive is brand new, so time will tell. I have done no speed measurements. Price was quite competitive.

This is a very useful item if you are tired of barely have space for new games on your console. I love knowing I can download whatever I want and not having to worry about storage. Excellent purchase. The only issue is that you can’t play ps5 games from it you have to transfer games from the storage device to the console every time but I’m not sure if that’s because of the PlayStation 5 or this device. Either way it’s a great purchase.

This drive has no lag at all during download/ install or playing games. I really like the performance and storage space.

HUGE storage and fast transfer speeds (~230+MB\s). Has 7200 RPM speed, and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface. It may not be an SSD, but this is a great compromise and a better option than a FireCuda SSHD. The avg Firecuda transfer speed is ~116MB\s whereas CrystalDisk show this drive with read and write speeds above 240MB\s. It even has 2 additional 7.5W charging ports in the back. NOT travel friendly because it cannot be powered over USB and requires power from the included external power adapter.

Love it. Exactly what I needed for storage space backing up files

First off, I'm an OG gamer from back in the Atari and Intellivision days. I am pretty picky about what I say is a good product or not. It was easy to setup. Seamless installation process. Having this much storage space is awesome! If you have friends that play different games and you are tired of uninstalling and installing just to play with them, this is the solution to that problem. You can store your PS5 games on this drive but cannot play them from it. Storing them on it greatly reduces the amount of time it takes to install a game by the direct transfer from the external hardrive to the PS5. I've had it running for days with zero overheating issues as well. Hope this review helps.

I have 3 of these hard drive i have bought over the last 5 years. All work great.

Great ssd for the ps5, plenty of space and incredibly fast

This is top notch add on for my PS4 pro. The drive allows for substantial amount of games and the best part is the speed to access is faster then the internal hard drive. You can cut 10 seconds to a minute off of large games

I kept running out of space I got this now I’ve got more space than I know what to do with definitely recommend it’s not loud like other people have said

Works great and has lots of storage space. This is a much faster drive than my old one and you wouldnt know it was on a USB as its fast when used on a high speed port

This saves so much data, i have it for my games, work, pictures, and videos. Always love using the store phone photos to save them for another year to view. Handles the pressure well and doesnt affect the computerbin any negative way. Enhance your speed with this item to browser your computer without waiting for loading of your contents.

Very easy to use and speed is very good and built quality is also very good.

I got it for my PS 5. Works great reasonably priced. I would recommend this for the PS 5 and PS 4.

It works perfectly. It does have a fan sound, but it’s quieter than the fan of my computer, so I don’t mind it.

Well-built external hard drive. Good for long-term storage since it is NOT an SSD. If you have important documents, photos, etc. that you need to back up this drive is an excellent choice. Before you start using the drive, check to see how it came formatted out of the box. You may need to re-format the drive into the format you normally use before you start using the drive (mine was formatted as exFAT and I reformatted to NTFS).
