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.

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.

I assume it's not TB3 interface, just USB-C?
right, just USB-C. For reference, tb3 speed will top at around 2800MB/s. This is around half that at 1050MB/s. TB3 externals will also cost you a fortune...i think a 1TB TB3 SSD is around $300-400?

Quote from birdsorigami :
What would I even use it for lol
besides gaming, think of this as a plug-and-play SSD drive to your device. It's faster than a regular SSD, not as fast as an internal NVMe, but should be fast enough so that you can run applications or games off of it when it's plugged in. To realize its speed potential, you will also need to make sure the usb port on your device is 3.0 or higher. Otherwise, if you plug this drive into a usb 2.0 drive, it will only go so fast as the port allows it to.

I personally have used it to add video rendering space to my work macs and have edited videos off of these because of its relatively high speed compared to traditional external HD drives.

You can DYI one for cheaper. A thunderbolt-nvme enclosure (real thunderbolt, not "thunderbolt compatible" which is just marketing for usb-C) is about $75 and you can stick in any nvme drive you like. I'm using the Wavlink WL-UTE02 and a 1TB WD Black SN750, total outlay was about $150 and I can max out the SSD at 1750-2000 MB/s. A faster SSD would get better performance but this is fine for my uses.

that's true. i also have a cheapo regular SSD enclosure for my secondary game drive.

i would also point out that nvme generates some heat unlike the regular slower SSDs, so choosing wavlink, a trusted brand, is a good move to DIY. But if anyone isn't familiar with it, they might still prefer to shell out and rely on samsung's manufacturer warranty.

Is the Wavlink TB3 only or is it USB 3.x Gen2 compatible? And 1TB SN750 for $75 was an awesome deal!

I'd say any XBox cause Series games won't run from an external SSD but XBox One games will.

An external SSD sped up load times on my XBox One considerably- it's a must buy IMO. This is about the same price as a SSD + external enclosure.

This is only logical if you have slow internet. I got half a gig down so this would only half the speed vs downloading. If it's a game you play often you likely won't be moving it back and forth often. $100 to maybe save me 10 or 15 minutes very very occasionally is IMO a waste of money.

Doesn't XBox use aproprietary format, can you use it for PS5 and XBox at the same time?
