    Perfect little storage bank. Works for my PS5! But only stores PS4 games on it.

    I got this to have some extra space on my PS5 because the games take up so much space. This works really well and the games still load pretty quickly compared to last gen.

    Small and mighty efficient backup solution

    We bought this to backup an old failing system so the data would be transferred to a new system. The setup was super simple with the software installed and then updated automatically from the Internet. Once setup was complete, backup was a breeze and took little time at all. On the new system, the data transfer took less time since we already had the software installed due to using the same Western Digital software for its own Raid 1 external backup.
