  • Fast, solid, easy to use!
I bought this to be a workhorse for moving files between systems and holding data. I had previously purchased the 2TB model (not SSD) and while it is solid, it was quite a bit slower. the SSD model is 10x faster than the older spindle drives. It's also 1/2 the size. the outer casing is all metal, has rubber feet to keep it from slipping. The older 2TB model came with the legacy USB 3.x cable, while the new 500GB SSD unit comes with USB-C. If you're not concerned about speed, you'll get more space using the older 2.5" spinning drive. If speed is an issue, the SSD is THE solution. Fast. Both drives came pre-formatted with EXFAT, and one minor glitch (both partitions were labeled "WD_BLACK" -so with both devices plugged into my Mac, it could not differentiate them. I ended up re-formatting and renaming the new one "WD_SSD". One thing to note - the SSD does run warmer, but the metal casing seems to perform as heat-sink too. Very happy. ... show more

  • Solid, cool device
Bought this 2 years ago (2020) with the exact same price ($129.99), works great since the first day. Setup a separate fan to cool it but that's not a big issue to me. I only regret not choosing a larger capacity that time.

  • It Only Worked For 3 Months
I bought this drive for external storage on my PS5. I transferred a few games to be used later via external storage. I've accessed games from this drive successfully in the past (Destiny 2). I recently I tried to access one of the games I successfully stored in the past but I keep getting an error code indicating that the drive needs to be formatted. When I attempt to reformat (and therefore lose the games I stored externally), I get an error code telling me that the drive doesn't offer the required specs to format. Um, it's 500 gigs and it worked before. The worst part is that I am past the window to return/exchange it, so I'm out $150. I don't recommend this product. Look elsewhere and don't waste your money. ... show more

  • Works as intended, durable.
Works as you'd expect for the price. Fast speeds, durable hardware, lots of space.

  • Best of the best
Got this today and it was so easy and smooth to switch games over on my ps5. Only ps4 games can be switched though. Ps5 games have to stay on console HDD. I might be crazy but i think Warzone loaded faster from this extended drive than it did from the console itself

  • Works on ps5.
Works on ps5, super fast and no lag, definitely worth money. As another reviewer stated runs really hot when playing warzone (not as much when playing other ps4 games). Highly recommend getting a portable fan. “Flydigi” had good fans and work great. Remember doesnt play ps5 games.

  • Does what I needed.
PS5 SSD fills up quick. If you’re looking for external storage this is the one. Only PS4 games can be put on the external but that’s perfectly fine by me. Definitely worth the money and super easy to use. Super fast on top of that

  • Amazingly fast (I use it for my PS5)
Pros: - small form factor - affordable - fast - sturdy Cons: - cables are a bit short - gets a bit warm
