Been using this drive since ps5 launch to store my ps4 games. Works well. Loading time isn't any worse than the ps4 itself.

Not great. Would get an external SSD for a game system where on-demand load times are important.

This hard drive has been at this price the last 3 years. I would've expected it to be lower considering that all SSDs have lowered in price

yeah, the jury is still out if SSD is good for archival purposes if stored for months in closet. I use my SSD's in my PC, so power keeps them active, and stay "fresh", compared to not having any...

I paid $130 including taxes for a 5TB desktop external hard drive in 2015. Yes, it was USB 3.0. $90 seems to be a modest discount in 2023 for a portable one.

WD makes portable 5TB USB-C models as well but they tend to run...
