Could you use wd my book with a ps5 or gaming console ??? null

You can , but you can only play PS4 games and store PS5 games. Sony has released firmware to add a SSD to your PS5, that would be the best route.

Yes. I’ve tested this personally.

Hello Marc21,Please be informed that the WD Easystore Drive is a plug 'n' play device tested and designed for Windows and Mac computers.Sony added support for external USB hard drives on the PS5 with their April 2021 update. However, due to PS5 restrictions, games can only be played off the console’s internal SSD. As such, external USB storage hard drives only function as a faster way to hot-swap games and data on or off the PS5’s internal storage. -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information.We recommend you to please contact your host device vendor support to check whether the drive will support. In order to know more about the drive refer to the link: http://products.wdc.com/library/AAG/ENG/4078-705145.pdf -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information.
