Q: Hi, t's currently out of stock, do you know when it'll be in stock again and how long it usually takes for this item to be back in stock after it's sold out? Thank you :)

A: Hello Yoya, Thank you for reaching us. As of now, we do not have any estimated time of arrival of the product. We request you to please stay tuned with the WD online store web portal. -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information.

Q: Can you download ps5 games on this hard drive or is it only usable for ps4 games ?

A: Hi Bullah, Sony added support for external USB hard drives on the PS5 with their April 2021 update.  However, due to PS5 restrictions, games can only be played off the console’s internal SSD.  As such, external USB storage hard drives only function as a faster way to hot-swap games and data on or off the PS5’s internal storage. -Need Help?

Q: On the description it says 5TB but scrolling down to features it says 500GB. If this is 500GB and not 5TB then you need to correct Best Buy. Make them change it to 500GB so people aren't tricked into buying the wrong capacity without knowing.

A: Hello,The WD_Black P50 Game Drive SSD strikes the perfect balance of speed and performance. Shaped by performance with SSD speeds up to 2000MB/s to decrease load screen times and get you into the game faster. We have tested the drive on XBOX ONE.
