Dude do yourself a favor and buy this, it’s on sale today.

It’ll store all your games but loading (backwards compatible) games from it and putting games on it will be slow since it’s still a hard drive. If you have amazon prime, you should cancel that hard drive and get this WD Black P10 5TB that’s on sale for Prime day. 1 TB more for almost $20 less. They both perform the same too.

Why is internal so much more expensive these days? (Not sure when it happened, building a new PC now after 5 years)
Here's an external alternative:

Hell even a 5TB External SSD maybe...
For nearly half the cost of the external proprietary drive they have through SeaGate.

That’s the exact model I’m using.
I specifically set up the ps5, then turned off; then plugged in the external into the rear right port, if looking from the back with console flat, and turned on the ps5 (after all updates available)
The system saw it and showed my game library almost Immediately, most games required an update, as the updates were stores to my PS4 internal and games on external for some, it has to be all on ps5 or all on external, and games with a ps5 free upgrade have to be fully on the ps5 internal.
I’m not going to pretend I know anything about how this hard drive works, only that it was a good quality unit, and my friends use them, and I’ve never had speed issues using this to run games.
Maybe someone else can chime in as to why it works and yours doesn’t, but idk

Not really the best price for gaming storage right now though. The Xbox branding and 2 months of Game Pass are nice, but I'd advise you look to the WD_Black 5TB P10 Game Drive. 1TB more storage, and much faster speeds (625MB/s vs 140MB/s) for only $8 more.
1 points • MiddleFingerAhole
You really should consider getting an external hard drive to backup your files. Should your hard drive ever fail, you will lose everything.
I got this 5TB on sale for $92.00 a few months ago.

For roughly the same price as just that internal drive alone you can get an external 2TB WD_Black instead. Or, for just ~$30 more than you would pay for that Blue 2TB+case combo you can get a 5TB external (if you need the extra space).
WD_Black 5TB P10-Game Drive 2.5” HDD
I just recently got this one for ~$95 during Black Friday. Western Digital’s “Black” drives are made for gaming and are faster than the regular Blues. Not sure about the externals but at least with their internal desktop drives Black is 7,200rpm whereas the Blue is 5,400rpm.

I was thinking about getting this hard drive to store my PS4 titles on.

Do any of you have experience with this hard drive? Have any of you put your PS4 games on an external to play on your PS5?

Im looking to add storage to my prebuilt gaming laptop. I came across this WD Black external hard drive. The price doesn't look to bad so it caught my eye. Im looking to run games off of it. I know its not ssd so the start up times won't be as fast but that doesn't bother me. I just want to make sure I can play games like Siege, Cod, and Red dead off of it.

I’m pretty sure they said you can run PS4 games off an external drive on PS5. You will not be able to play PS5 games from it though. They have to be on the internal ssd. I would look at western digital drives like this one

I can’t recommend enough that everyone buys an external HD. Doesn’t have to be a SSD — you can easily find a 4TB for $100ish or less. There’s a WD 8TB on sale for $130 on Amazon right now. I have this 5TB that’s on sale for $125 and it doesn’t require it’s own power supply (just plug it into the XBOX/PS’s USB).
Much easier, especially for those with an internet data download cap, but just in general for people to shuffle games between the internal SSD and external HD as necessary.

I bought a WD_Black 5TB P10 drive for $7 more than that. It arrived this morning. Didn't come with Game Pass Ultimate but it's a better drive and more storage.

Will this be compatible with the PS5, you think for PS4 game saves?
1 points • DanzoMeteor
You download all the videos u want through y our computer. U use VLC media player or MX player APK that u can get on google play to play those videos off the drive. Don't download anything directly through the shield.
U want something like a 5TB for $115 that doesn't use external power. If u want something bigger, then it would be worth the external power. This is much less hassle as u can easily download and move the device without unplugging/replugging. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VNTFHD5/ref=twister_B07WP77KV3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The shield will use any format , so NTFS is fine. https://support.plex.tv/articles/220391808-media-storage-options-for-nvidia-shield/

i have a 5tb WD black and works pretty well, it has like 25 games and no problems at all
1 points • supster131
Sure! This is the one I got. I got it on Prime Day for $95. It seems like it's out of stock though, but I've heard that it's pretty similar to the WD Easystore that Best Buy sells, which is in stock at the moment. Best values I think are 2TB and 5TB.

I've got the new WD Black P10 4TB gaming external drive. Hands down the fastest traditional style drive I've used
https://www.amazon.com/WD_Black-Drive-External-Compatible-WDBA3A0050BBK-WESN/dp/B07VNTFHD5?th=1
I've got a Seagate 4tb that I wouldn't recommend because it's like 10 years old and needs to be connected to power
And I've got 1 Samsung 2tb 2.5 inch SSD that I put in a 2.5 inch external enclosure
Samsung makes a much cheaper SSD tho, it's like half the price of the one I have and tbh, about the same performance
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L31K2MK/ref=twister_B07NW72QY9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
and then I just slap it in one of these enclosures. Much cheaper than buying the little T5
