GAMING OF EXTERNAL SOLID STATE HARD DRIVE PORTABLE
Luckily, the SanDisk Extreme Portable is just the ticket for that criteria. Undoubtedly, one major factor when perusing the best external hard drive market is going to be looking for units that are really robust and portable and could survive plenty of bumps, falls, squeezes, and encounters with dust and water.
One small criticism is that it does get a bit warm in use but that's sort of fair enough as a small compromise for the performance - just be aware of it when you place it or leave it in one position for a while. Its USB-C port can be used on your devices as either a USB-A or USB-C connection meaning you can hook it up to multiple different devices of its life span, and benefit from the same speeds. In terms of what the drive looks like and how it feels, the P50 has a military metal-style and is a rectangular drive featuring sleek molded metal, and it'll easily fit in the palm of your hand. The stated speeds of 'up to 2000MB/s' were on the money in our testing, but what this translates to in real-life scenarios is that games are loaded incredibly quickly, files and media are retrieved and stored in an instant (you know what I mean), and all this is done incredibly consistently. Yes, this SSD does err on the side of a gaming drive, and it features in many of our console external hard drive guides, but its performance cannot be denied.
GAMING OF EXTERNAL SOLID STATE HARD DRIVE PS4
That makes it a real contender as the top PS4 SSD. And Western Digital's Black P50 drive is probably the best external hard drive we've tested in a while.Īs a proper external, portable, SSD package, it offers everything: a robust and cool design, and exquisite file transfer speeds that are often only seen in the best gaming PCs. In your search for the best external hard drive, you'll need to consider a top SSD. The My Passport is an all-round great external hard drive - especially if you're not fussed about an SSD or want to shave some dollar signs off the price tag while waiting for the seemingly inevitable wave of PS5 SSD deals. It won't win the prize for speedy file transfer, but it earns its place at the top of this list nonetheless. This very much fits the established theme of 'bigger drive = better value'. The reason for this is is largely two-fold: first, a 4TB HDD will provide easily enough space for lots of games, data, files, photos, videos and music and, secondly, we've seen the biggest savings on the 4TB.
Our favourite in terms of specific capacity remains the 4TB version. It'll also look at home in almost any setup. It is a small and robust unit (about the size of a mobile phone) and the aesthetic isn't bad either - it's a chic half-ribbed, half matte and smooth metal finish. Looking at it in more detail, the My Passport drive works via a simple USB connection that helps keep the size down. And that's because the My Passport combines capacity, price, value, build-quality, and performance in one excellent package. Even in a world moving slowly but surely toward SSDs, there's still more than an important place for an HDD and there's a reason why this one tops our best external hard drive list (not to mention our guide to the best PS4 external hard drive). The My Passport drive from Western Digital has gone through several iterations over the years, and we'd bet it'll go through several more as time goes by.
