Finally A PS5 Storage Solution
Being one of the lucky people to find a PS5 last year was a double edged sword: I had the hottest new console on the market but I had slightly less than 700GB of drive space. Now while there aren’t many PS5 games available it still plays all the PS4 backlog I’m working through or that my kids refuse to move away from. Being able to trial run a WD Black 1TB Gaming SSD was a possible solution but I’d heard that some external drives don’t run as well as the internal or worse the PS5 locks up if you use them. I’m ecstatic to report that isn’t the case with WD Black! First, the drive size is really small, about half the size of my Galaxy phone. Second, it comes packed with a stand to clip onto it so it will sit upright along the long edge instead of just flopping over wherever the cord lets it go. Finally, and best of all, the drive performs as well as the internal drive with my PS4 games. I transferred all 500GB of my stored games to the WD drive which took a while but I don’t think it was more than an hour (I forgot to check the clock when I started but its not bad! Certainly not PS3 transfer speeds thank goodness!). Once they’re loaded up they perform fast and flawless no matter if they were digital only games or digital versions of your standard disc games (Skyrim, Lego Marvel Heroes, Last of Us 2, etc.). I put them in sleep/standby mode and woke the system the next morning and jumped right back where I left off without lag or freezing! Its amazing and makes me super happy! Setup is simple, just plug the drive into the base and the cord into the drive, set it near your console (it’s a standard 12 inch cable so it’s gotta be close), and plug the drive into the BACKSIDE of the console (no fighting over the front port for charging your controller, extra awesome!). Once plugged in it should prompt you or you can navigate and format the drive for PS5 storage format then you’re good to go! Super easy, barely an inconvenience!!! There’s not much else to say besides that its function is awesome and it looks even cooler with the rugged looking plastic shell (its not drop proof, you can feel its just a cool shell not actual protection). Hightly recommend, if you have a new system then you NEED this drive to keep space for all your games.

Talk about a pocket rocket! This thing is fast
Starting off this drive is extremely portable and small enough to fit in your pocket. With USB type C the speeds are lightning fast at 900 megabytes a second. It says it's for PS4 and PS5 but you can only put PS4 games on it which is kind of disappointing. IT does help by storing your game saves on it but then again Playstation has the cloud for storage as well. Overall it's a nice little hard drive that I'd recommend to others ! Appearance wise as you can see is black tactical and sleek looking. with

Great SSD for gaming with good loads.
WD made a very reliable and solid SSD. The drive performs very well with loading up games and data at a fantastic speed. D30 works with a decent amount of devices that gives you 1TB of storage. It works with the PS4, PS5 (PS4 games only), Xbox, and PC. So far for PC games, it does the job it needs to. Played a ton of games from Steam and Epic game store on the device. The SSD is nicely designed but nothing too special. It gives a rugged vibe to its design and seems to take falls pretty well. D30 does have a "gamer" look to it but it's also portable where you can just slip it into a laptop bag and go. Comes with a USB-C to Type-A cable but I'm using USB-C to USB-C on the device. I was just happy that I could just whip this around from device to device with ease. it also comes with a Stand to prop it up next to your gaming device. What is more to say? it does everything it advertises to do and with ease. everything just worked fine, games loaded up rapidly, Plug and Play. WD BLACK D30 is just a great drive and a brand I'll buy from now on.

Plug-n-Play and play and play and play…
There is not much to getting this drive set up and I’m going to have a hard time writing anything of a substantial review because this product JUST WORKS! I love products that just work right out of the box as advertised and this one fits the bill. I opened it, plugged it in to replace my older and quite bulky back-up drive for my PS5 and it was about as dumb simple as possible. I just turned on my PS5, went to Options > Storage > USB Extended Storage and click on the format button. That’s it! I love that I don’t need a separate power supply for the drive. The load speeds are super quick with it being an SSD, and it just looks cool next to the PS5. A great find.

Easy set up
It felt like a plug and play to my PlayStation. I’ve had one before and decided to upgrade. 1TB is a perfect size since I’m not a serious gamer but I’m don’t buy actual disc games and this storage is perfect for all the games I purchase and save. Easy to navigate. The actual size is very small and bulky so I feel comfortable traveling with it. Overall great addition to my PlayStation setup

It’s all about space
Simply put, I was tired of deleting games and then adding back on later. Never thought I would need more internal storage. It’s fast when transferring back and forth. If you have PS4 games, you can play those on the storage which most of us have. I’m using this on my PS5. I learned that with PS5 games, you can only store and/or transfer to and from the internal. You cannot play PS5 games on it. If your tired of deleting games, this storage is for you.
