  2. Crucial - P3 1TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 3 x4  NVMe - Front_Zoom
    Top comment

    "Worked surprisingly with thunderbolt enclosure. I used ORIOO...No additional software to format drive. Just use windows disk management software."

    Product Description

    Basic bootup speeds won’t cut it — not at work, on the go, or in the game. But the Crucial P3 SSD is anything but basic. With NVMe performance that’s more than 6x faster than SATA2 and storage capacities up to 4TB3, the P3 leaves older storage technology in the dust. Get faster bootups, downloads and file transfers, and store all your files, photos, videos, apps, and games with room to spare with the quality and dependability you expect from Crucial.

  3. WD - BLACK P40 Game Drive for PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox 1TB External USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Portable SSD - Black - Front_Zoom
    Top comment

    "Great hard drive - Compact and efficient...It's well constructed with a solid outer shell. The disk registers as having 931GB of space available (this is about par for the course with most 1TB drives). ...If connecting to the Xbox or the PS5, it comes with an adapter to plug in regular usb port. I formatted the drive on PC using the Thunderbolt port, and when I tried plugging it in using the regular USB 3.2 port, I could access the drive from Windows Explorer, but it would not show up on the Xbox app or Steam download drives.
