    I upgraded the internal storage with the PS licensed M.2 SSD. Then I added this baby as an external to store and launch PS 4 games from.

    I have this connected to back of my ASUS AX11000 router via a 3.0 USB connection. Runs cool, quiet, use for network shared and secondary backup. All I own are BLACK series--reliable (two blacks of mine lasted over 14 years).

    This hard drive is not portable. It requires 120vac. I thought it could travel with a laptop, wrong. Nice for leaving on a desk.

    Bought Jan 1, 2021 and have had no problems. Fast and very happy with the purchase. Plugged into my PS4, had the PS4 format it to the correct file system for ps4 storage, and has worked flawlessly.

    I recommend this fast external drive. I did a full format before using it, to be sure there a no bad sectors. This took a very long time, however I feel it was worth it for the peace of mind.

    Slow, noisy, extremely awkward sized power brick (blocks 2-3 outlets depending on wall or power strip), VERY short cord. I have 4 WD_Black external USB drives. 3 are 5TB and average 30-35MB/s. This one at 8TB averages 3-4 MB/s. It's literally 1/10th the speed of the other drives, formatted the same (APFS, tried NTFS and exFAT too just in case). Tried it on 5 different computers just in case. Just avoid.

    This Western digital product is a great option for you to store games on it. It has 8 tb of space to backup your library of games. It's really quiet when using it with your console also. Holds alot of games.
