    Best way to expand your memory for your PS5!
    I finally got tired of deleting games to make room for newer ones on my PS5. Pick and choosing, downloading and deleting sucks so I decided to get this SSD. So far so good! This SSD is just as fast as the internal SSD that comes with the PS5. All the loading times for my games are pretty much the same with this SSD as the PS5. And if you're worried about how to install it, do not worry about it, it's that easy. Just plug it into your PS5 and go to your external storage under settings, a format button should pop up and that's it. Simple and clean.Note: Only PS4 games are allowed to be stored on an External SSD.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works exactly as described for PS5
    Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2021

    First off I have to mention, as with any and every hard drive, you will never get the full terabyte of space regardless of if it’s formatted to be totally empty or there’s an operating system on it or not. That’s how hard drives work, so those people leaving bad reviews because they didn’t get the “full” 1TB just don’t understand drives and file systems and calculated space vs actual. We’re not going to go on and on about that, if you’re going to fork out the money for it then you should already know that. This is the best external drive you can get for PS5 (if you get the SSD model). This SSD is nearly as fast as the internal PS5 drive. It can move game files very quickly and I’m impressed. I play almost all my PS4 games off of it with no issues (Fallout 76, GTA5, Warzone, Division 2). Load times are equally as fast. This includes both USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A. If you read the articles about the PS5 you should also already know that you have to use the USB ports in the back of the console (No USB hubs/Splitters/docking station) or the USB-C port in the front in order to use the high speed data transfer. It’s worth the money, especially with the coming release of the internal SSD upgrade update for PS5 because the price of those just went sky high and on back order. So if you need something to hold you over until then, this is your sure winner. Western Digital makes high quality stuff, will also work perfectly for personal PC storage if your computer has the latest USB gen ports AND your computers internal hard drive is rated for these speeds.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great purchase
    Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I used this for gaming on my PS5 for the past 6 months or so. Definitely of good quality and material.

    It did buffer on me once during one of those cutscene transitions while I was playing God of War. The loading symbol appeared on the lower right hand corner of the screen to signify that the game wasn’t frozen and that it was just loading, however it was only for 2 seconds and the game resumed as if nothing happened right after. Not sure if it had anything to do with the product itself or if it was just an issue on the game’s end, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Only happened to me once during my 40 hour play through.

    Other than that small thing (which honestly wasn’t that big of deal), it’s worked perfectly fine for the past half year and I do not regret buying this. Loads super fast and comes is a small, sleek looking case design. I’ve played shooters like Call of Duty, R6, and Battlefield on this just fine as well as other single player games like Ghost of Tsushima and Deathloop. All of which run and load extremely fast, just as good as if they were running on the console’s own internal storage.

    Overall 5/5, would definitely recommend if you’re willing to spend the money for a premium storage upgrade.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, solid external hard drive
    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I've been using this hard drive as an external storage for a PS5 for about a month now. I have experienced no issues or concerns with the device, and I have found it to be fast and reliable, with an adequate storage capacity. While this device is pricier than other devices of similar storage capacity, I chose this one based on favorable consumer and third-party reviews. I have been very happy with this purchase. I am particularly impressed with the small footprint of the device and what seems like a solid, rugged metal external case that has an interesting, industrial aesthetic. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase, with the only downside being the price tag that is steeper than other options, but it feels worth the extra financial investment for the apparent quality.

    I bought this SSD after reading on-line reviews for the best PS5 external drives. Every PS4 game I have played, plays just as well through this drive as they did on my PS4 Pro. And I play high density graphical games like ESO on-line, Borderlands 3, Call of Duty. Downloading and installing, to this drive, is extremely fast. Once installed on the PS5 this drive automatically defaults for all PS4 downloads whether from a disk or streaming.

    I’m using this 1TB drive to replace a 500GB Seagate fast. I was looking for more storage as well as a more robust enclosure since I travel frequently.

    This drive has a solid build and some weight to it, which was exactly what I was looking for. It’s priced a bit higher than other brands so I assume you’re paying for the case build.

    The drive runs well and has solid speed in the benchmarks I ran. One negative would be that it runs HOT, even when running basic games off it. So be careful when touching the metal case.

    Well.. hotter than I wish. You can't leave it connected... gets hot just sitting there. However, works fine.

    This was a cheap but massive upgrade to my PC. Some of the newer games just weren't running great for me. Transferring my Steam collection to this drive was a game changer. I'm now playing on higher settings and faster. New Starfield kept freezing on me and now running flawlessly.

    Probably my favourite external hard drive I've purchased. Build quality is excellent. The transfer speeds are very fast, even when transferring big or multiple files. Highly recommended.

    Il disco rigido è di ottima fattura, resistente agli agenti esterni e ha una velocità di trasferimento dati via USB molto molto elevata. Trattandosi di una USB 3.2 con M2 direte voi, è normale... ma non sempre è così. In 1-2 min max trasferisce 200GB di dati, il che non è poco.

    Per chi lavora nella grafica, nel video montaggio o nell'animazione lo consiglio vivamente, funziona bene anche per montarci e animare i video in 4K a 60fps (e non è un disco interno). Ovviamente va collegato ad una Thunderbolt 4 o a una porta USB 3.2 (come minimo) per avere il massimo delle sue prestazioni.

    L'unica pecca, secondo me è il prezzo... un pò troppo alto, ma trattandosi di un disco M2... dai... ci può stare.

    Gekauft als Backup Medium und externen schnellen Speicher für meine Workstation enttäuscht mich die kleine SSD im Metall Kleid keinesfalls. Atto Disk Benchmark attestiert mir eine Schreib/Lese Rate von 1.82 und 1.88 GByte / s ab einer Block Size von 512KByte - absolut zufriedenstellend. Angeschlossen an ein USB Type C Interface erreiche Ich immerhin 14.4 GBit von 20GBit möglicher Übetragungsgeschwindigkeit. Top!!!

    Achat pour réduire les temps de chargement de jeux (mon HDD n'en pouvait plus ...) correspond parfaitement à mes besoins.

    Bonne qualité apparente, une petite tendance à chauffer.
