Be more CLEAR!
on January 27, 2023
Posted by: Hatemypurchase
I purchased this drive assuming I could play games from it. They boast the fact that that’s possible. I own a series X and I can’t store any optimized game. Who needs 2 terabytes for old games???? You REALLY need to be more clear w the fact that it will not play optimized games. Who just stores games to have to move them later. It’s really redundant. Feels like a trick. I could’ve just gotten the Xbox/seagate expansion and never had an issue. Now I’ve wasted money on a drive I can’t use for anything useful. An expensive paperweight.

WD Black P50, man she’s fast
on October 12, 2021
Posted by: Epower
from Scranton PA
[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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the very few that i have seen so sturdy built and Great looking SSD. Simple and compact design. Strong built and high performance if be very big highlight of this SSD.
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

Fantastic drive

from NY NY
[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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the WD BLACK P50 Game Drive with 500GB awhile ago and I like it. If you want a nice external game drive to save all of your data, then this one should be enough to get the job done! Kid tested, father approved!
I would recommend this to a friend!
