- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2025Capacity: 1TBStyle: SSDVerified PurchaseNo gamer likes to be the last one loading in co-op and detest the lag from read/write while playing a game. I use this solely as my backup drive and for games that run smoother via SSD or require SSD to run. Games like GTAVO, Starfield, any PvP game, and other racing games. It sits quietly on top of my pc and it could easily be used as a source for your cloud games, or console expansion. Now I am the first to load into battle! Let the games begin!!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2025Capacity: 1TBStyle: SSDVerified PurchaseSmall - light weight - fast

- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2025Capacity: 1TBStyle: SSDVerified PurchasePerfect size, works great.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2024Capacity: 2TBStyle: SSDVerified PurchaseSo, why would I buy something this fast to connect to a device with USB 2.0 ports? Simple. They were on sale for $170. The Samsung EVOs and QVOs I usually buy were more expensive. The WD Blues were a little less, but not by nearly enough. Besides, these are SMALL. I can just throw them into a pants pocket and head to a friend's house. And while I may not be using them to their full potential now, if my Wii bites the dust, I have no shortage of options (I would even be comfortable installing VR games on these).
But why use SSDs on a Wii at all? Surely the difference between SSD and HDD is negligible, right? Maybe on paper. In the real world, the USB 2.0 bottleneck that's supposed to nullify the difference between the two technologies somehow ends up amplifying it instead. I tried a 4 TB Passport with my Wii. To say that it was sluggish would be putting it nicely. When you test the difference with a spare SSD you have laying around and the two minute load times go away, it's obviously time to switch.
My only gripes are that these get a bit hot when transferring files (I pulled out a mag fan when the first one hit 140 F), and that they were initialized as GPT. For the love of science, WHY? GPT is only needed for drives over 2 TB. That almost got them returned. The RGB lights don't come on when you connect them to a Wii, either. So, I thought WD had done something weird to make them incompatible with older devices (I wasn't wrong, it just turns out that something is easily reversible). Fortunately it hit me to do a "get-disk|format-list" as I was packing them up. I saw "GPT" and it was facepalm time. Sure enough, after switching them to MBR, they work great.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2025Capacity: 1TBStyle: SSDVerified PurchaseAwesome! Absolutely what I needed to keep playing games on my poor Xbox struggling with space! Have not had any problems with sequencing or freezing during game play. Downloads games quickly and it's a breeze to move games around from backup storage to main storage. The only feature I found annoying, is when I turn my Xbox off the hard drive continues to stay on and do it's rainbow light show. If you're trying to watch a movie in the dark, it gets old real fast.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2025Capacity: 1TBStyle: SSDVerified PurchaseI've been looking forward to getting this for the longest time. I've completely filled my internal hard drive to it's max when I had my Xbox One X now those same games I have are spread across multiple external hard drives and I cannot play them on my series X unless they are on the internal. This 2TB CARD will reduce the number of hard drives for my storage and finally be able to pay all my games whenever I want
- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2025Capacity: 2TBStyle: SSDVerified PurchaseTook it right out of the box and have had no issues with it. In personally using it just as a portable ssd not a gaming one. Although there's plenty of storage to do so. It's fast, customizable, and super nice. I didn't even realize it had LED until I plugged it in. It's lightweight and it doesn't get hot to the touch either. Does everything I could've asked for, and when I got it there was an almost half off discount which was even more amazing. High recommend this ssd.

Tristan VisReviewed in Mexico on July 20, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars SSD sigue siendo algo caro, pero mucho mejor que HDD
Capacity: 2TBStyle: SSDVerified PurchaseEl producto llegó rapido desde EEUU, es muy pequeño en tamaño, mucho mejor que SSD tradiconal. Obviamente no hace ruido, ya que no tiene partes mecanicas, lo estoy usando para el PS5, y pongo juegos del PS4 ya que estos juegos puedes jugar directamente de este SSD. Velocidad muy bien para jugar los juegos PS4 por este SSD en PS5. Muy contento con el producto.
P.D. los efectos de luces son padres, pero no es necesario, y el producto viene con adaptador USB-C a USB-A ya que se tiene que conectar por USB por la parte atras del PS5 para poder funcionar. El cable es suficientemente largo para que el SSD puedes tenerlo al lado del PS5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact Speedster
Capacity: 2TBStyle: SSDVerified PurchaseI invested in the WD_Black 2TB P40 Game Drive SSD a few months ago. I wanted to give it some time so that I can provide a better review. Despite its premium price tag, I can confidently say it's worth every penny. While the cost may initially seem steep, the performance and convenience of this SSD quickly justify the investment.
The standout feature for me has been its exceptional speed. Whether transferring large game files, multiple smaller documents, or managing simultaneous transfers, the P40 delivers lightning-fast speeds of up to 2,000MB/s. This efficiency is a game-changer, especially when time is of the essence.
In terms of design, the drive impresses with its ultra-compact form factor. It's just slightly larger than a credit card and remarkably thin, making it one of the most portable drives on the market. Its lightweight nature adds to the convenience, allowing me to easily carry it wherever I go—whether it's to gaming sessions or work meetings.
The versatility of the WD_Black P40 is another plus. It's compatible with multiple platforms including PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Mac, which means I can use it interchangeably across devices without any issues.
In conclusion, if you're on the fence about the WD_Black 2TB P40 Game Drive SSD due to its price, I'd recommend taking the plunge. The speed, portability, and flexibility it offers are unparalleled, making it an invaluable tool for gamers and professionals alike. This SSD not only meets but exceeds expectations, providing a reliable and high-performance solution for all your storage needs.
