WD_BLACK 500GB D30 Game Drive SSD - Portable External Solid State Drive, Compatible with Playstation, Xbox, & PC, Up to 900MB/s - WDBATL5000ABK-WESN

In the product description there is a sentence buried in the description. “ Play and store Xbox One games; archive Xbox Series X|S games. Xbox Series X|S games archived to drive must be transferred to console before playing.” In other words you can’t play new games off this drive. Some of you might be willing to go through the hassle of shuffling games in and out of your console every time you want to play. Not me. I should have watched the YouTube videos that warn about this and that you have to buy the specific seagate expansion drive if you want to play X/S titles from the drive.

Just what I needed after filled the HD on my PS4 Pro

The read speed is perfect for consoles as they only have usb 3.1 ports so the data it can transfer caps out around 900-1000mbs per second so the D30s 900mb/s read speed is perfectly fine for consoles

Nothing against Western Digital, the product itself looks very cool and is a good price for a 1tb ssd. This is a knock on microsoft for being lame with the series x os. It will not allow me to use this device for games because its not formatted for it They want you to spend $220 for the same amount of space on their licensed Seagate expansion card so shame on them. Hopefully in the future it will be resolved and be able to be used. Unfortunately as of now it seems it works for every system except the Xbox Series X and with these new games today, 1tb of space just doesnt cut it even with the faster down and upload times via the solid state drive so I will have to return this and either have to install what I want to play at that time or give in to them. Really hate it when companies that make as much money as Microsoft does pull crap like this. Really shows they cant just let you have anything, because it would obviously kill them to let me save $70 on some extra space after getting scalped on the console in the first place....

Works well as advertised. Still think it’s a bit pricey but it is light, easy to use and works seamlessly with ps5 if u don’t mind shelling out the few extra bucks.

Product works fine with my PlayStation 5.
