    Too slow for modern games, great for storage.

    Great for storage, not fast enough to run modern AAA games on without significantly longer load times and cut scene lag.

    I ordered this item and paid extra to get it delivered sooner. It was never delivered. I was told that it was returned as undeliverable. I was never told why it was undeliverable. I contacted customer service and was assured that it would be delivered by end of day. It was not delivered. Contacted customer service again and was told that I my money would be refunded. I stated that I did not want a refund, I wanted the product. They said that they could not do that and suggested that I order it again. Needless to say I will be shipping elsewhere.

    Media Server - proper formatting needed

    FYI, the drive is formatted in exFat. If you want to use it as a media server on a router, you may have to format to NTFS like I had to do for Netgear router to recognize. So far, it is working well.

      Hi, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. The WD D10 Drive cannot be used to expand PS5 game storage for playing PS5 title directly, but you can use it to store and play PS4 games or backup PS5 game data. We appreciate your review and will make sure your review are shared with our team. WDConnections

    Was not recognized by two Macs, even tried to connect via a USB hub to ensure its wasn’t my USB connections. Downloaded the WD software and began to troubleshoot but the drive was not recognized by either computer. As soon as the power cord was connected the drive made loud click noises followed by 3 loud beeps
