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.

This or the 5Tb WD Blue with USB-C for $10 more?
If I had to go with only one, it would be the one you mentioned, particularly if you are interested in AES-256 hardware encryption with password and USB-C:

WD 5TB My Passport Ultra Blue Portable External Hard Drive HDD, USB-C and USB 3.1 Compatible - WDBFT... [amazon.com]

The warranty is 3 years for both the My Passport Ultra and WD Black, which I think are both better deals than this WD Easystore 5TB external one.

Thank you. Already ordered the Easystore but I think I will get the Blue Ultra as well and return the Easystore later.

Have used both the WD Easystore (including this one) and My Passport models (4TB) in the past with great luck. Jumped on both the My Passport Ultra and WD Black ones to try them out and simplify reorganization of my other Synology drives.

At this point, I only trust the WD drives for portable use.

Yeah, WD has been solid for me also. I had a 4Tb Seagate external drive that failed last week after 8 years (clicking noises, can't connect anymore), I can't remember if I had a lot of files I wasn't able to backup to my other external drive. But I was told in the Costco Seagate thread that 8 years is amazing, especially since I didn't disconnect it from the computer, and often hear the fan running even if the computer was turned off (has external power). This time, I will use as backup strictly (and not as an extra, always accessible drive) and not connect unless I need to.

Comparing the 5TB WD Black P10 Game Drive to this Easystore, isn't the Black a better drive?
