WD_BLACK 4TB P10 Game Drive, Portable External Hard Drive, Works with Playstation, Xbox, & PC - WDBA3A0040BBK-WESN

So far it's good, fast and small enough. But everybody knows that for hard drive we have to wait for 1 year to judge. So after 365 days I'll come back and will edit my review (I hope not earlier)

So you’ve finally run out of space on your PlayStation — surprise, surprise. Enter the WD_BLACK 4TB P10 Game Drive, the digital equivalent of that extra closet you’ve been desperately needing but never had the courage to ask for. Plug it in, and suddenly you’ve got enough space to hoard every game you’ve ever wanted to pretend you’ll finish someday. And by hoard, I mean seriously hoard. 4TB? That’s like a game library’s worth of commitment-phobic purchases. It’s portable, which means you can brag to your friends about your massive game collection while secretly hoping they don’t ask to borrow it — because sharing games is for amateurs. Also, it works seamlessly with PlayStation, which is a relief because the last thing I needed was another tech headache. Fast, reliable, and ready to carry your digital baggage, this game drive is basically the unsung hero of every gamer who’s said “Just one more game” one too many times.

I use it for backups, since the additional speed makes that process less painful. It definitely works faster than a standard external HDD. However, it's still a HDD so speeds won't be nearly as fast as SSD or NvME. Given the price difference between SSD / NvME and this product, you can't beat the price, quality, performance, and most importantly capacity for a HDD, since comparable SSD, etc are far more expensive for this amount of space. For good performance for gaming or large data storage (imaging, backups), it's a good product at a decent value.

Iv bought this 2tb external to replace my old one that just stop working. Fast delivery and came in undamaged. My series s recognized the external soon as it was plugged in. It works and have no problems. I bought the original black 2tb wd-black.

If there was ever a sexy hard drive, this is a sexy hard drive. I was looking for a hard drive for backups, but when I came across this, I thought, "Why can't it be sexy and a backup hard drive?" This 2.5" external hard drive is currently the largest at 6TB. Inside is a plain old spinning drive that can transfer data at about 120MB/s max. This drive is meant more for storage than for speed, and I'm fine with that. There are different colored versions of this. Instead of the all-black version, I got the one with the white base and black top, mainly because it looks better on top of my white desktop computer. I'm using this mainly as media server storage that doesn't have to be written to too much. Overall, the design is sick, the construction and materials are premium, and the price is just right for everything you get.

When I came across the "We suggest the Black model for your gaming needs" message I figured it was just marketing. But given that this drive is the same cost as a non-gaming drive...why not? I've had issues with hard drive not disconnecting on the PS5 causing an error message at every startup and a hard drive repair. This has happened with hard drives AND SSD so I figured it's just a problem with the PS5 and bad design. However... I haven't had this problem since I switched to this drive. In general the PS5 interface is extremely sluggish, and games load REALLY slowly, even from the Internal "high speed" storage. In general, the PS5 is just a lousy console, but there are upgrades that can improve the experience. One of them is a good optimized "game drive". This particular drive is a bit more rugged than other plain ones, and looks like it came out of one of those Toughbook laptops. It's just a USB hard drive like any other, cheap for the capacity, but I'm imagining the cache and firmware must be optimized for this specific use because... I can't quite logically explain it but this hard drive is MUCH faster than even an SSD plugged into the PS5. It just loads up games near instantly, and they download and install faster than before. The hard drive errors on shutdown and restart seem to have stopped. So overall? If you are using a video game console this appears to be the ideal external hard drive that you want. It's certainly the one I want going forward.
