WD_BLACK 2TB P50 Game Drive SSD - Portable External Solid State Drive, Compatible with Playstation, Xbox, PC, & Mac, Up to 2,000 MB/s - WDBA3S0020BBK-WESN

It's what I'm using on my PS5 to play my PS4 games. It's loading the games almost as quickly as if they were on internal storage (I assume due to PS4 titles on PS5). However, this is beneficial because it allows me to free up internal storage for PS5 games.

Update. I tried reformatting once more, but it didn't work this time. I had to return the drive, but I'm going to try the Samsung t7 Touchless next. br>br>First and foremost, on Xbox One X, this drive was lightning fast. br>br>Worked perfectly for about a week, but now the drive is overheating, causing the xbox to either reject the drive completely until it cools down or even hard shut down my Xbox because I'm assuming some sort of surge or crash is coming through the usb port. br>br>I love the drive, but I'm not sure what to do. br>br> Return? Replace? I'm not sure if the overheating is due to my hard drive.

I decided to get this SSD because picking and choosing, downloading, and deleting is a pain. So far, everything has gone well! This SSD performs at the same level as the PS5's internal SSD. With this SSD, all of my game loading times are nearly identical to those of the PS5. And if you're worried about how to set it up, don't be; it's that simple. Simply connect it to your PS5 and navigate to the external storage section of the settings menu; a format button should appear, and that's all there is to it. Simple and uncluttered. br>br>Note: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "creative External SSD storage is only permitted for PS4 games.

Can play a game without any flaws. Review from the beginning: It's quite effective. Small but sturdy. Usb- This is a fantastic C connection! It allows you to write and load games in real time. I'm a big gamer, but I don't pay attention to the technical stuff. I know how to play my game and am confident in my ability to compete. br>I discovered that some software, such as Epic Games, will prevent the drive from shutting down or ejecting when you need it to. Steam will also prevent the drive from ejecting or turning off, so don't put epic games on it. Check to see if these programs have been closed completely. As a result, the drive is always on and takes a long time to turn off. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> So, after a while, I start to have issues with the drive, which I use with a USB-C cable. On my PC, I have C in the same slot, and it has become extremely picky about what it wants to do. I thought that removing Epic Games from my computer would solve the problem, but now Steam and Windows games are behaving similarly. When I can't access the drive and an error code appears, attempting to repair it doesn't work or isn't an option. When I try to register my drive with WD, they say "cannot find product," and when I request support, the chat service times out every time, or when I use email support, it says "unable to do so, please try again later," and it takes 20 minutes to get the drive working every five times. It was necessary to restart the computer several times. I've tried everything I can think of to get the drive to turn off when the system does, but it doesn't work. I've tried repairing the drive and replacing it with an SSD drive, but it still doesn't work. It has also caused my laptop to crash on several occasions. So I'm at a loss for what to do):.

br>I had previously purchased the 2TB (non-SSD) model, which, while solid, was noticeably slower. br>In comparison to older spindle drives, the SSD model is 10 times faster. It's also half the size, with an all-metal outer casing and rubber feet to prevent slipping. The legacy USB 3. 0 port was included in the older 2TB model. The new 500GB SSD comes with a USB-C cable, while the older 500GB SSD comes with a USB-A cable. If speed isn't important to you, the older 2 will give you more space. 5" spinning drive. br>If speed is a concern, a solid-state drive (SSD) is the way to go. Both drives arrived pre-formatted. br> EXFAT formatted, with one minor snag (both partitions were labeled "WD_BLACK" - As a result, my Mac couldn't tell the difference between the two devices when they were plugged in. I had to redo the whole thing. The new one was formatted and renamed "WD_SSD. " br>An important point to keep in mind is that Although the SSD heats up, the metal case appears to be heat-resistant. sink too. br>I'm in a good mood.

20G/s is fantastic; I use it to store a few games that I play frequently on Xbox in order to speed up loading times. Overall, it's been fantastic; my only complaint is that it costs a little more.
