    Currently using with my Ps5 and have had not 1 issue with it .I have my favorite ps4 games on it seeing as ps5 games can only go on the internal SSD as of this writing .I did have to turn on the power to the USB ports in the back in settings just putting that out there maybe it was just a bug for my console before the first 2 updates at the time .

    I purchase this to go with my Xbox Series S. I was easy to connect and has a lot of space. It moves games from my Xbox Series S to external hard drive very quick. I also use it to play Xbox one, Xbox 360 and orginal Xbox games with no problems. this allows me to save space on the Xbox Series S to play games. This is must buy for Xbox Series S/X systems

    Fast, but not the Fast.

    I thought this was Fast, but at only 140mbps, it's not lighting fast.. It might be so some but a 3.76GB 4k video takes 90 seconds to download or transfer. It's compact and will do the job, but if you want Faster results, you gotta pay $700+.

    Great to use and setup with it being an external HDD, maybe not the best for games, its better to get an SSD but i bought this one for media and storage and it works fantastic as a portable option.

    It works wonders on both a PC and a PS, the transfer speed is incredible and it is very shock resistant.

    this item has been very helpful. the new PS5 has pretty limited internal data. and im playing alot of the previous 4th gen games which quickly capped it out. so having this unit for those titles has allowed me to continue doing so while saving room on the machine for 5th gen games. internal and portable SSD are very expensive so this is a very cost affective option by comparison

    Solid, reliable. I have several of these, and they work pretty well. Someday they might even upgrade the cable since USBA is becoming rarer.

    I purchased two of these and they are super fast and definitely are great for games and regular use. My first drive is for my ps5 but sadly only works with ps4 games and the other holds all my photos for my photography and so far they have both held up.

    Great decent expansion at a great price

    Picked this up for my daughter for her laptop. It was plug and play easy to install and helped tremendously with the low free space on her internal SSD. The expansion is great and it was a great deal on sale but she states it is noticeably slower to load any game (steam) that she's moved to that drive. Once they load there is no difference though.

    Got a replacement for my old one. The first one stopped working after a few years and I had to get it replaced, but otherwise it works well

    Must-have for PS5 owners w/deep PS4 catalog

    Fantastic device. I'm using it with a PS5 and I had nearly 400 GB of PS4 games on it. It took less than 15 minutes to set up, format, and move my PS4 games over to the HD. A must-have for anyone with a deep PS4 catalog, or of you want to store the 20+ PS Plus collection games. Super smooth play (and quick loading) from the SSD.

    This is a very good 5 TB Western Digital WD external portable hard drive. I have used a smaller size of such HDD in the past few years but this one is large enough to hold more files than other models.
