Very small form factor external SSD drives
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little SSD drive. I bought 2 of these 2TB drives. I use on on my PS5 and the other on my Xbox Series X.. I went online and bought a couple of 3ft UDB 3.2 2x2 cables because the ones that come with the drive are only a few inches long.. that's really my only complaint. The drive is a lot smaller in real life than I thought itd be. Ive only experienced 5 Gbps transfer performance on my Xbox Series X.. Hopefully the PS5 will be faster. These drives are great if youre looking for tiny and super portable.

Future Ready!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely Fast! Plug in and that's it! (Heads up: it's not defaulted to NTFS so you may wish to format before adding files) Extremely Slim! (Perfect for my New Razer Blade 15 Advanced Edition) Very impressed! This is made for next gen USB ports (it's Gen 3.2 2x2) It's a little costly but that's how all new technology is sold to the consumer. Don't let that scare you. It's definitely worth the purchase!

Great SSD, Some Limitations
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very fast for an external ssd. So far no problems but have only used it for a few weeks. I'm currently using it with my PS5 which works well. If thinking about this for a PS5 you should know that you will only be getting 1000MB/s due to the USB-C on the console, not the advertised speed of 2000MB/s. It is also expensive so I can't recommend to everyone. Otherwise, I am happy with this purchase.

Needed external drive for PS5
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The PS5 does not come with much internal storage. I purchased this external storage for my son’s PS5 and he was grateful that I did. It is SSD drive and should last longer than Gen 1 external drive.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionCan this drive be used with an PS5 (external drive plugged in back)? Are their any limitations?
Asked by PS5Compatibility.
- A:Answer Yes, It works with the Ps5; but only good for ps4 games. The other thing is that I tried to connect two at the same time and only one worked, I thought that sucked as the two drives worked on my Xbox series X. The drive is super fast to download games, it’s gets a bit hot, but over all worked very well. You can connect either on both usbs on the back or to the USB-c connection in the front of the ps5. Hope this helps!

Q: Questionif you had more than one of these could you hook up both to a ps5? and if not both at same time could you use one and then unplug the 1st one and use the 2nd one and so forth on a ps5?
Asked by preorder.
- A:Answer Hello, Please know, 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?
