WD_BLACK 1TB P50 Game Drive SSD - Portable External Solid State Drive, Compatible with Playstation, Xbox, PC, & Mac, Up to 2,000 MB/s - WDBA3S0010BBK-WESN

Using it for my PS4 games on PS5. Its loading the games just about as fast as on internal storage (I assume due to speed limitations with PS4 titles on PS5). This is good though, so I can save internal storage for PS5 games.

This drive gets overheated constantly and Ive tried everything to keep it cool. Right in the middle of a game itll happen and totally screw you

Runs my COD Cold War well.

I am using this drive for PS5 expansion. It gets very warm almost hot to the touch even when NOT being accessed (playing games from internal) and just being connected. I cant imagine this lasting very long, heat destroys electronics causing to fail prematurely. Maybe this is not an issue for a PC but for PS5 it is.

When I got this I was a bit disappointed. Kiddo has an entry level gaming laptop (hes almost 8, entry is about all I trust him with right now) that gets full rather easy and the biggest space hog is his Steam library. I was hoping this would be a quick fix to moving the games off his laptop without a loss of performance. But moving the games took FOREVER and he kept knocking the external SSD around on his small desk. It also gets a bit warm when taxing it, so I called it a fail, and just ended up upgrading his internal M.2 SSD instead.

Bought for a gift for my son, who is a gamer. He koves it.

Games load very quickly.

Great drive and really good transfer speeds. Only issue is the drive runs really hot. Despite being in an all metal vented case. Runs cooler if you get some airflow (fan of some sort) to the drive while in use.
