Solid HDD for gaming storage

Really glad I found this on sale! Totally worth the price investment. I've loaded up nearly 100 games on to the drive so far and barely used half the storage total (still 2.4 TB free). Transferring between WD-Black and the XSX main SSD are solidly in the right timeframe to not be an issue. I keep my primary games that I play everyday on the SSD and hold the HDD for overflow storage and move back and forth as needed instead of needing to re-download. Overall great deal, so go for it!

Usually purchase the My Passport drive, was out of stock so I chose this one. Seems faster, maybe only because I expected it to be so. WD always gets the job done. Not sure if it's worth the extra $30, but I was lucky to get it on sale.

The Western Digital 5TB P10 external hard drive has been a great addition to my setup. I mainly use it to store my entire retro game collection, and it handles everything quickly and efficiently. The transfer speeds are solid, and I’ve had no performance issues, even with larger files. I also occasionally plug it into my Xbox, and it works flawlessly there too—reliable and quick to load. The compact design makes it easy to store or carry around, and the build quality feels sturdy. It’s a dependable drive that does exactly what I need it to do. Highly recommended for anyone needing lots of storage for games or media.

This portable hard drive is great. I have it hooked up to my Xbox, which gives me the ability to save a decent number of games. I have owned it for a little over 6 months, and I have not had any issues yet. I highly recommend it.

I bought this for my ps4 although my ps4 has 1 TB, I didn't want to worry about having enough space for games or updates which are getting pretty big. I was suprised at how easy it was to set up it literally was just taking it out the box plugging it into the ps4 and moving all my games into it and making it my default storage place so anytime I buy new games it goes straight there. I've had it for a little over a month and its worked great except for getting a little warm like other reviews stated. For now I am happy with my purchase but if anything changes ill come back and update my review.
