It's on par. Both are 5400 RPM. Even though it's branded "Black" the drive inside is not a performance "Black" drive. It's goal is more on storage and low heat build up. Both drives also have the same 3 year warranty. So it really comes down to whether you prefer a particular brand between those two. Both are equally competent and reliable or unreliable.

I can tell you that a 4TB USB3 SATA disk usually transfers at around 700Mbps to/from my Xbox Series X. If this is an SSD, it might transfer faster.

One of my family members has a PS5, & it doesn't show transfer speed on screen when copying to external, so I'm using Series X as a reference. You can expect to transfer a 50GB game (either direction) in around 10-15 minutes.

If you have gigabit internet, it's a wash. If you live in a smaller city & only have 25/50/100Mbps internet, it's definitely worthwhile to save a copy of ALL games to your external drive, so you wouldn't have to redownload from the internet if your console failed. I always make an extra copy of the games on the internal storage just for that reason.

Right so that is why it only transfers at around 700Mbps. That is megabits so it is less than 100 megabytes per second. With my external HDD I get about that speed and with an external SSD I get about 2.5Gbps.

Specs say 140 MB/s, which translates to roughly gigabit speeds if you are downloading. (8 bits in a byte, etc).

I have 2 of these. One for PS5 and one for Series X. It's flawless for anything not optimized for ps5 and series s/x ie game pass drive.

Basically the same minus the "game drive" marketing nonsense.
