The best external hard drive
Western Digital does it right! With it's rugged and sleak design and more storage space than it's competitors, it really is the best! I love this hard drive. I'm utilizing it now to store my excess PS5 games and will in the future by the WD black SSD internal hard drive for more readily accessible games. But, for a qulality hard drive that won't break the bank you can't go wrong with this one.

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!
