  4. 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

    "A speedy, external solution for gaming...I cannot run a benchmark that will show the full speed of this drive as I have no computers with a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 USB port on them, even though I thought I did. ...It also has one on the front to connect my case's front panel connector, however my case's connector is just Gen 1, so I plug the drive on the back. If you don't have a 3.2 Gen 2 connector, it will still work with any USB port (I would recommend minimum a 3.0 one) way faster than any mechanical external drive. "

    "Easy external storage...Compact and easy to use; just plug it into the usb port and go. Bought it to back up my laptop....Great Little External Hard Drive...If anything the floor was with the PS4 as it has a lower generation of USB ports. I’m sure the new Xbox and PS five probably have newer generations of USB ports which will be able to achieve higher rate read and write speeds however it is sufficient for the ps4."

    Top comment

    "The drive comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-A cable, so you can plug it into a computer that just has a traditional USB port, or a computer or phone with USB-C. ...A Great Little Big Drive!...I use it for projects and work-related files but this would be perfect for a gaming computer. Plugged into a USB-A 3.2 USB port, this thing transfers files very fast but plugged into a USB-A Thunderbolt 4.0 port transfers are nearly instantaneous. "
