Great Drive for the money!!
Bought this drive and man has it been nothing but great. Great speed and reliability. Can fit my whole game library off my pc on it. I keep my main games on an ssd and load off the ones I play less to this drive. Would recommended 100%. The only negative would be is that it’s a bit noisy but not all the time. I usually have my headphones on anyways. Grab this if you’ve been looking for a speedy and reliable external hard drive. Works with PC, PS4 and Xbox

A great external drive for next gen gamers.
I purchased this drive for my Playstation 5 for external storage of Playstation 4 games library and hopefully in the future external backup of Playstation 5 games to offload the internal SSD (come on Sony give us a firmware update). The device aesthetic is very nice and I don't have any complaints about the build. The advertised read and write speeds are right in line with what Western Digital states are the speeds (see attached picture). I have seen people asking what drive is inside this external "WD_Black" series external drive. Well it's not a black series drive (Like the 8TB WD8001FZBX) but an HGST HUS728T8TALE6L4. This is not a bad thing as this is a data center-class hard drive and paying only $15-20 for a nice external enclosure. Be aware this is not 100% quiet as it is a full-size, higher-performing drive but is not annoying and probably cant be heard from 10 feet away if gaming from a distance. If you need an extremely quiet drive look at the Western Digital P10 Black series but you are not going to get this performance. I have to do further testing to see if the drive ever fully ramps down as it does seem like the platters tend to constantly spin just for longevity purposes.

Great High Capacity External USB Gamming Drive
I have been researching for an external hard drive to pair with my recently purchased gaming PC and finally decided on this 8 TB WD Black D10 portable hard drive. I moved most of the games from the computer's SSD hard drive to this external drive and saved a lot of storage space for the C drive and the games are still running great, highly recommended.
