This is not how it works... You have half gig speed meaning 0.5 gigaBITs per second. This is read/write at 1 gigaBYTE per second.

There are 8 bits in 1 byte. So if you want to compare the speed, it would actually be ~16x slower to download vs transfer from this drive into internal PS5/XSX console.
dang they added another $20 discount while it's supposed to be on discount this month? i've never seen that at costco. Can anyone confirm? I also just purchased one at costco this week. Gonna go see if I can return or get price matched.
I'm going to be using it for both the PS5 and XSX. You can store PS4 and PS5, XB1 and XSX games on it, but you can't play the next-gen games from these. You just have to move them back to the internals.

Are games only playable from the official drive?

I forgot the exact criteria, but some games can only be played from the internal hard drive. I think it might be Series X/next gen only games that cannot be played on an external. I am not sure if that counts as older games that have next gen updates.

However, there is a remedy, albeit an expensive one: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/access...nsion-card

This allows you to store and play next gen games.

I assume it's not TB3 interface, just USB-C?

most reviews say that they are on par, but this sandisk has an edge because it's rugged and water-resistance (may be proof? not sure) This is also the faster v2.0 so the speed boost is welcome when trying to compare to t7. Form factor wise, it's smaller than it seems, but not as small as t7. t7 is also...usually...costs about $30-50 more.

This comparison only applies to this Sandisk and the t7. Other Sandisk products are not really there yet. We will see if they will improve after WD took over.

ps. i previously bought a t5 and last week when i got this sandisk, i realized this sandisk has a much shorter usb-c cable than the t5. It's no big deal as I can replace/interchange the cables easily.

the product is, the price should be reflected too. I literally just got this at $119.99 in store 2 days ago. can't believe they dropped another $20.
