    Seems to work great for the PS5. Plug and play. Installation and formatting is super easy. Freed up a ton of room internally. I should have purchased the 2 TB. Also bought a 5TB external hard drive to transfer the PS4 games onto.

    The best solution

    This was bought as a game dump for my laptop which only has a 1tb ssd and is brand new so expansion isn’t really an option without voiding the warranty. I wanted somewhere to have all of my games and not have to worry about the launchers getting confused which drive to pull from because thinking you’re entire steam or epic or origin etc. library is gone and just thinking of the hours of re-downloading you’ll have to do is enough for cardiac arrest. I’ll be honest, this thing is pretty impressive. Boot times for games are noticeably slower than a new high speed ssd, yes, but not so much slower that I find myself wishing I had dumped some big bucks on an external solid state. Or realistically two if I were to match the capacity. For the price this is absolutely the best option if you’re going for an external expansion and don’t mind a 10% load time increase.

    Use the hard drive to hold games for my pc. Would recommend getting a longer connection cable as the one included is short

    This drive is extremely easy to use and comes with speed in mind. The only downside is that it requires an external power source like a usb powered hub.

    Fast and easy to use. However, I don't like having to use a third party program to set up an automatic back up schedule.

    Bought this for around 100 when on sale. It is a great solution to add your PS4 game library to your PS5 console. Can't go wrong especially when it's on sale.

    I love this external drive I use it to store all my work on it. As a nature photographer, I have loads of photos and videos that take up a lot of space on my laptop and this saves me so much room.

    This is an incredibly fast hdd for an external. I'm blown away, it has become my extra game /rom drive but it worked well as my main gaming drive, ran ac Valhalla with very little lag. And it was a super good deal! Thanks best buy!
