Expand Ps5 Storage External Hard Drive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've purchased two of these drives, both in the 2TB capacity, to expand our PS5 consoles. The PS5 comes with an empty storage bay that you can add your own SSD to. The requirements for this expansion drive are very specific, including that it must have a heatsink attached, and the Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVME M.2 SSD fulfills those requirements admirably. Since we installed the 2TB drives, which are twice the storage capacity of the drive that comes with the PS5, we set our consoles to install new games to the Samsung drives in the expansion slots. Every game and app we've used on this drive performs flawlessly. I highly recommend this drive to anyone who needs an M.2 SSD, but especially for anyone looking to expand the storage in their PS5.

This is a great hard drive for server use or file backups, which is using this for both. If I need to expand my storage needs these are the first I'd consider getting again.

Excellent product. For the needed storage, this external hard drive works really.

this provides good protection and storage for the Elements External hard Drive and Cord.

Really happy with the storage size for the price (I got it on sale, so even more of a bargain). This is now I believe my 4th WD brand external hard drive, and I think the 3rd I've bought from the My Passport line. Never had any issues with any of the My Passports, and so far this new one is holding up just as well as my now 5ish year old ones. The only downside, which has nothing to do with the hard drive itself or the company... I bought this for my PS5, and found out after the fact that externals can only be used to store PS4 games. I had purposely gone for 5TB assuming I would need massive amounts of storage for extremely large PS5 games. It's okay though, I'm sure I'm still going to rinse through storage space with PS4 games anyway-- it's never a bad idea to buy the larger storage size. Just pointing it out in case anyone else had the same idea I had.

Works amazing for holding external storage for my PS5. Thanks!!

This external hard drive are that I was looking for, very faster data transfer, very well build... I bought it to storage pictures on vacations.

Excellent External hard drive.

I use it as an external hard drive for photos.

I got this to expand the storage on my PS5. It was easy to install and the PS5 was able to detect it and format it quickly. Games moved over flawlessly and it only took a few minutes.
