  • Best external hdd for PS5 for more space to game

    Just what i was looking for. Using this for my PS5, it works great. Transferred all my PS4 games to this device. Also putting my PS5 games on it to switch from ps5 to device when wanting to play games because there is not alot of space right now on the PS5. I was already using a WD Passport 4tb for my PS4 and it worked really good. So for me it was a no brainer. If you want a dependable, quiet, and very efficient external HDD, WD is the way to go, nothing else matters.

    I've used the drive with both Windows 10 and MacOS 10.14. Takes advantage fo USB 3 port speeds but is backward compatible with earlier versions, too.

    I own many external hard drives and up grade as sizes increase. I own three 8 gig external and this version seems to not heat up and works very quickly. I like the new style.
