    If you need a lot of storage for a cheap price then this is the way to go. It's not very fast but it gets the job done. The drive comes with a usb 3.0 cable. Be aware that if you plug this in to a usb hub then it better be powered. The drive needs power or it clicks and chugs. Once it has power then it works just fine, transfers around 100 to 110 mb/sec. I haven't tried loading a game onto it but I would imagine it should work fine.

    Good value for the money. I took one star off for the housing. It's very smooth which means it's easy to slip out of your hands, plus there are no rubber "feet" which would stabilize it when placed on a desk. Also, why wasn't a storage case included? All other WD portable drives I have purchased prior to this one included a storage case....
