WD_BLACK 5TB P10 Game Drive, Portable External Hard Drive, Works with Playstation, Xbox, & PC - WDBA3A0050BBK-WESN

Great item. Fast setup for PS4.

The sleek black enclosure with the white letters makes this enclosure look rugged and near military style. The drive isn't rugged and shock proof, just appears that way. Small in size and light weight, this drive is portable. Their is not much bulk to the enclosure and the enclosure is not much larger than a 2.5inch HD. The drive is very quiet and is passively cooled, no loud fans spinning. There is a white LED on one end of the drive that indicates power and data transfer to the drive. The LED does fade in and out depending on what the drive is doing but will remain lit while powered. It is not adjustable in any way and does not have a way to disable. Just a personal preference, but I do like the LED and the overall look of the drive. They do include a USB cable that is less than 1 foot in length. I'm guessing to keep the data transfer speeds from being affected by longer cables. I have not replaced with a longer cable but it is an option. Not sure if it will affect performance. NO EXTRA POWER NEEDED! USB power is all that is needed. Only one cable needed with this drive. This means less wires to manage and less risk for dust or debris to get into the drive or ports. Set up was easy for the PS4, all I had to do was format through the settings after I connected the drive to the console. I use this external drive on my PS4 connected to the USB. My console still has the original HD internally, but I use this as my Extended Drive and where all of my games are installed. While I haven't done any testing or timing, the load times appear to be nearly the same as the OEM hard drive that was included with the system. The 5TB storage capacity has allowed me to install every PS4 game I own on disc and has allowed me for the first time to purchase digital copies of games. No more need to delete installed games and wait countless hours for them to re-install!! If you are wanting a mechanical HD for your gaming needs, I highly recommend this drive! I've purchased 2 for my home and really love them!

I've bought a couple of these over the years. Always great. Very little lag time even on modern games, though it can struggle on games with extremely large open worlds when traveling long distances. Even then, it is a minor interruption at most. The only reason I had to buy a second was due to Microsoft updating and killing it... rip. Works great though and I've never had any issues with it, plus you don't have to keep deleting your games from steam due to space.

What can I say, it just great, 5TB and I bought this in a discount, very very cheap. What a product

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.

It took me a while to figure out which one would be the best drive to buy but this was absolutely a great purchase. Used it on PS4 to move games and free up internal storage. Everything works seamlessly and it was extremely easy to set up, it is just very slow when moving them from internal to external memory. But really I have no complaints, extremely happy with this product.

Reliable and zero problems.

Ótimo produto, já estou usando a bastante tempo

I ordered this harddisk a second time because its very good. Fast, quiet, smalle, strong.

Primero me llamo la atención su diseño porque parece un contenedor y la parte de arriba es de aluminio que ayuda a disipar mejor el calor, que no es mucho (~40°). Lo compré para almacenar juegos y datos de mi PC y hasta ahora (3 meses aprox.) estoy muy satisfecho. Es un poco más rápido a los convencionales, te ahorras unos segundos en las pantallas de carga y tienes la confianza de la marca en cuestión de durabilidad. Su instalación fue fácil, solo conectas por USB y tuve que formatear a NFTS porque lo uso en Windows; un punto importante a mencionar es que NO puedes quitar la carcasa y hacerlo interno ya que tiene soldada la conexión, pero al ser externo lo hace dinámico a cualquier uso. Por último, compré la versión de 5tb en una oferta muy buena ($2500) por lo que si valió la pena. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUALIZACIÓN 2 AÑOS DESPUÉS: El disco empezó a tener sectores defectuosos, corrompiendo el sistema de archivos y ralentizando la PC. La partición se conviertió en 'RAW data' haciendolo inaccesible a mi información contenida. Intenté distintas formas de repararlo pero el problema era más grave, un desastre. Consulto la supuesta garantía de 3 años y dice fuera de región! y aunque fuese respetada tienes que hacerte cargo de todo los costos que conlleva la devolución y reemplazo del producto. Decepcionante el tiempo que duró funcionando y el servicio de esta marca.

الهارد حلو سرعة القراءة والكتابة فيه كانت 132 ميقا في الثانية طلبته للبيسي (اذا تبيه للبيسي حقك فقط عشان الألعاب لازم تفرمته من exFAT الى NTFS لأن بتصيرلك مشاكل في ستيم من ناحية السرعة وما راح يشتغل على السوني لأن السوني يدعم فقط exFAT، فكر قبل تستعمله لإيش D: )
