    Fast External Storage for Next Gen Consoles

    Fast External Storage for Next Gen Consoles
    I bought this drive to supplement the storage capacity of my Xbox Series X for games that I play that are not Series X|S optimized. To that end it's been perfect. Western Digital put some serious thought into the D30 that make it perfectly suited for this role of second tier external storage. It's attractive negating the need to hide it away, it's built solidy to make it suitable in the role of free standing external storage including the fact that it clips securely into the included stand, and it's performance is decidedly top tier and current even if not quite as state of the art as Microsoft's velocity architecture and the proprietary Seagate expansion card or the internal M.2 options for the PS5 required for current gen games.The first night I had it I downloaded ~450gb worth of fresh installs in a continuous write operation that lasted around 2.5 hours and didn't have a single issue, with the enclosure of the drive never seeming to come much above ambient temperatures. Load times are impressive, obviously it's silent and overall performance is excellent.Bottom line, this is a quality external SSD purpose built to stand along side the current generation of consoles and in this application it's second to none. If you're looking for an external SSD for your Xbox Series X|S or PS5, look no further than the D30.
