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

Very well made, very small and lots of storage

Works great. Does allow for loading things faster than a speedy HDD. As others mention though, it was weird having to “shove” the USB-C cable harder into the SSD port, because otherwise it would refuse to be recognized by my PS4Pro.

Better small but strong durable

Nice, like the style and feel of it, it has been downloading since I have gotten it, so like about 2 hours ago, and its a little warm but nothing crazy or worry some. Only complaint is maybe the price but honestly, seems a bit worth it so far,but honestly I think they could maybe make a more economical version that has similar capability and such but maybe not as durable, bit idk over all I am satisfied so far. Will update in about a week to ad use still time temp with no downloads in progress.

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.

SSD drives are the way of the future. With no moving parts to worry about, they tend to be more reliable than traditional hard drives and less prone to mechanical failure. They are still EXPENSIVE -- the cost-per-gig ratio is very much in the favor of traditional drives -- but if you value speed and your data, they are the way to go.

This thing is awesome for being an external drive!! The only grip I have are the people complaining its not reaching its full potential. Learn how to read and do research. Also, learn that is it dependant on your system and not just what the company says. When it says up to, it doens mean it will.

Works fine so far. Using it as PS4 external storage.

Update 9/10/21

I purchased the 2 TB version of this SSD with the intention of using it for my Playstation 5 to play Playstation 4 games. It was one of the best choices I ever made. The transfer from console memory to SSD was much faster than I am accustomed to and of course when loading games they boot fast.
