Normal price is for the last few weeks on this drive has been $59.99 at Best Buy with occasional slight drops to this $56.99 price.

At $56.99, it's $28.50 per TB. Better per TB pricing can typically be found on the larger portable drives that are in the 4 to 5TB range. On those larger drives pricing per TB is in the $18 to $22 range depending on the sale. Currently Costco has the 5TB Seagate portable hard drive, which many dislike because it's Seagate, on sale for $89.99 (through 5/7). WD's 5TB Easystore portable hard drive can frequently be found on sale at Best Buy for $99.99.

Usual questions that are asked...

Can this be shucked? No. The USB port is embedded into the drive motherboard on these WD portable Easystore 2.5 inch sized hard drives.

Can this be used on a PS5? Yes. But apparently only PS4 games can be loaded/copied to it.

Today's update will enable you to store PS5 games on this drive but you will need to move the games back onto the internal NVME storage before you can play em.

Yep. Didn't see the update prior to making that post this morning. More information for anyone who is interested in the update.

The update allows players to store their PS5 games onto a USB external hard drive [digitaltrends.com], though there's a catch. PS5 games can't be played off a hard drive due to the system's ultra-high-speed SSD. Games can't be downloaded directly from the PlayStation Store to a drive either. Games that are transferred back to the console from a drive will automatically update. Sony reaffirms that M.2 drive support is still in the works.

Yep!

And just in case anyone is wondering the benefits: it's much much faster and easier to transfer already installed/downloaded games from an external storage back onto the internal to play native PS5 games versus going thru a disc-install & download over PSN process all over again.

It's like hot-swapping almost!
