Not really. They might pass for playing PS4/Xbox one games, but the ps5/XBox series X titles need the faster built in drives or expansion cards.

I believe these WILL work for storing your ps5 downloads but you'll need to transfer them to the internal drive before you can play them.

Quote from joesmoe981 :
I often see deals on Slickdeals that show an item at "Best Buy via Ebay" and then the same item at the same price at "Best Buy". Normally the via Ebay link is on top. Why would someone buy an item through Ebay instead of directly through Best Buy, especially at the same price? Wouldn't you get much better warranty protection buying directly through Best Buy?

I have always wondered this as well

5gb seems small for an SSD.

Okay and? The guy asked if this was an SSD. There is one available in the same size. Most people don't even have more than 1gb SSD. Your situation does not match the masses. 5gb SSD could be huge for the guy I replied to. Just like a RTX3080 isn't for Timmy Turner that just plays Roblox when they have just as much fun on an ipad.

The WD Black drive 5tb is $91.19 on Amazon for prime day. Plus you get a $10 credit if you buy $40 or more of Amazon gift cards.

It looks like both are smr drives. Is one better than the other?

Swooosh....LMAO

I think you meant 5 TB, not "GB". That's what he was referring to, my man.

WD Black has a longer warranty (3 years vs 2 years) and arguably better build quality (metal vs plastic)

So the Black is not strictly better for gaming only? Can be used as a external storage drive easily?
