[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a fast little drive! I do a lot of graphic design work, which includes a lot of content and photos so my computer was full! This helped speed up the entire process, was easy to install, easy to use and a new go-to for all the peers in my industry.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The WD Black P50 is pretty fast for an external portable SSD. It has a slim design and the shock resistant cover seems pretty durable and keeps it well protected.
It can be used on desktops, laptops, as well as PS4 and Xbox One. It brings a USB Type-C and a Type-A cable. Very easy to format into NTFs or exFat32. The guide in the box also contains a detailed quick installation guide that was helpful and easy to follow. Easy plug and play and very convenient and useful to download the utilities offered by WD to check the drives health or to perform maintenance tasks. So far it has proved to be able to complete the job efficiently and it’s easy to use and manage. I'm currently using it to game on my pc and found it offers pretty good speeds.

Fast Storage On The Go!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Though the branding is focused on being a gaming drive, this really functions as an all around fast storage device. USB-C connection is ideal for connectivity and speed as well as the tough outer casing that gives you plenty of confidence when traveling with it. Personally I have been using this as backup storage that I can edit video off of and it has served me extremely well in my time testing it. Overall this is a great buy if you're looking for something that is fast and reliable.

Fantastic drive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super fantastic drive. I have it currently attached to my PS5 and it’s blazing fast. I love the transfer and download rates. Usb c and usb3 plugs too which are convenient. The drive feels like it could be run over with a tank and survive. It’s made of aluminum or steel. Very light weight. Makes u believe the info inside is well taken care of. Thanks WD

Speeds were incredibly fast on my MAC M1 and also with the MBP which is also relatively new. Very impressed with the speeds when i use it as my streaming SSD with my PLEX or stick it for my gaming purposes. Definitely a great value buy

WD Black P50, man she’s fast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Western Digital Black P50 is one of the fastest external USB game drives on the market today. At 20gbps for games like Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty it’s perfect. It works on XBox One and PS4, PS5 and computers. We all hate how long those games take and how much internal storage they use. Having them on the external drive saves space on our systems and makes it very easy to use them on another system. For the price point this is one of the best drives available on the market today.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The WD Black P50 Game Drive SSD is an awesome drive. It gave fast, stable, and more than enough performance, which is a big deal for gaming for my husband The P50 offers compatibility for both Mac, PC, Xbox One, and PS4, making it highly versatile. Also, its small enough to make it easier to be able to carry around and switch out. The WD Black P50 Game Drive SSD, you won’t have to worry about running out of storage space. Simply plug it to your console or computer, and you can start playing and accessing every single file you have, it’s called a game drive, you can also store other files in this SSD. I highly recommend this product . and my husband said its made playing call of duty on his xbox so much better.
