Good deal - same price as T5 so free speed upgrade. HOWEVER, other than slight dimension diff, T7 tend to overheat sooner and slow down significantly, especially if you transfer large data. This is common and known issue for T7. T5 is actually more consistent in this regard.
These seem to be based on SATA SSDs instead of NVMe. In that case, you could just buy a cheap SATA SSD and install it in an enclosure which is less expensive.
This works great on the ps5 for ps4 games via usb c. Its twice as fast as the t5 btw
Maybe a silly question, but will this load games much faster with games loaded on here over a traditional drive connected to the PS5?
I need to get one as the stock drive is way too small on the PS5 and am leaning on this. Even though its smaller then what i would prefer; I will like the better performance.
Prefer to just get a nvme drive and stick it in a type-c enclosure for the same speed but cheaper price
Unless in unexpected circumstances the drive got fried (actually more likely to happen since NVME drives get hot during data transfers) at least you got SOME sort of protection (replacement is still better than money down the drain) with warranty

This is the whole reason I'm getting one. I recently got an Xbox Series X and still have the old external HDD plugged into it that was initially plugged into my Xbox One X. What was the point of getting a Series X with an internal SSD if I'm just going to slow it down with an external HDD? It's time to upgrade the external so I can get the most out of this new gaming console.

That's false. There is no way you can get 1000MB/s RW of this drive with SATA interface -- SATA III allows 600MB/s maximum
I don't understand why some people keep mentioning getting NVMe + USB enclosure for cheaper. Your customized solution gets very close to the $110 price tag here, plus it is probably bigger than T7.

Looks like it. Got it for a similar price with a $15 Amazon coupon recently and they shipped me an ugly box so they shipped another. Second box wasn't as ugly but it was still a little crumpled so they offered $10 off.
Using this on a PS5 to store my PS4 games via the back USB port. Some games run faster off the external SSD compared to the internal PS5 SSD as tested on YouTube.
Only have a couple games on it. Ace Combat and Red Dead Redemption 2. Installing RDR2 on it caused the drive to heat up but playing is cool.
You can use a regular hdd to store ps4 games and play them.
A $30 USB 3.1/3.2 enclosure gives you 10GBps which is the same as what is offered in this product. Unless you want to spend >$60 on a Thunderbolt/USB 3.2 gen2x2 enclosure but that would end up being quite a bit more money than this.
