Cyberpunk 2077 External Hard Drive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a test, I checked to see if this drive would fit in the PS5 as several do not. It fits! Whether or not it will pass Sony's requirements is still unknown as the port is locked out from use. In the meantime, I am using it on a desktop computer. The m.2 2280 form factor reigns supreme in ease of installing to the motherboard. Formatting took no time at all to get started on putting its performance to the test. On a 4K resolution video, rendering time dropped 15% over my Samsung 970 despite pulling the same amount of wattage. I also installed Cyberpunk 2077 to this drive. Compared to the 970, the speed of the 980 Pro shaved seconds on load times. While active rendering is more dependent upon GPU, I did notice a slight increase in gameplay performance. While 500GB is a good size for active media editing, I would definitely go with the 1TB for medium-term storage and gaming. At nearly 80GB for Cyberpunk 2077 alone and games still getting larger in size, 500GB will disappear quickly. Highly recommend the 980 Pro for having a solid consistent processing speed and simultaneous burst speeds. Whether playing video games, rendering video, writing software - if you need a hard drive to keep up with the latest processors and graphics card, this is the hard drive to pair with. The productivity boost is incredible.

I had been able to get by on 8GB of RAM since 2015 so it wasn't until I got Cyberpunk 2077 that I realized I didn't have enough. So I ordered the RAM and the staff from B&H. It was back ordered for a few weeks, but then again this is an old part so it was reasonable that it would take longer. once it did arrive it was in pristine condition and after failing to install it correctly myself a friend made it happen and now the computer can handle more and runs smoother than ever! If I need more computer parts I will look here first.

i played cyberpunk 2077 at max settings without any lags And Blender rendering was super fast. good laptop for 3d artist and gamers.
