I believe Amazon had this at the same price as well last week. Good for extending storage on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 as long as the games are previous gen.

So for the next gen gamers...

this is cheaper than the Samsung t7 but seems like the speeds are half on this one being sold at walmart... so technically yeah it is cheaper, but wouldn't be worth it.

The T7 would probably be better for PS5 since it has USB 3.2 2x1 ports (I think?) while the XBox Series X has 3.2 1x1 ports and maxes out at 500MBs. If you are going to use them for cold storage/back compat.

I can't see this being significantly better than the 2 crucial 2TB SSDs (CT2000MX500SSD1) and ugreen usbc enclosures I got for my XSX and PS5. Those have been working well for me so far

The T5 is a "traditional" SSD ~450 mb/s.

The T7 is NVME SSD so ~1050 mb/s.

You can find competing external NVME SSD for around $130 from WD and such. This deal isn't that great. Keep in mind you need Thunderbolt 3 or greater to take advantage of a T7 or any other NVME SSD. So if you have a modern MacBook I recommend getting an NVME.

I own both T5 and T7. T5 is around 500~550 mb/s

Speaking from trying this on an Xbox One, don't bother. There are no significant gains in load time on games or the Xbox UI itself.

The PS4 on the other hand was a vast improvement. Highly recommend either going the external route or just purchasing a WD Blue SSD and replacing the internal drive. Was very simple to do.

This is the new normal price for the T5 since the T7 came out, if anyone is wondering. I would wait for Black Friday.

Do these even work on the ps5? I tried the T3 the other day and the ps5 said I needed "Super speed" usb to work. I'm already out of space on my ps5.
