Review: Add extra capacity to your console - The sleek black enclosure with the white letters makes this enclosure look rugged and near military style. The drive isn't rugged and shock proof, just appears that way. Small in size and light weight, this drive is portable. Their is not much bulk to the enclosure and the enclosure is not much larger than a 2.5inch HD. The drive is very quiet and is passively cooled, no loud fans spinning. There is a white LED on one end of the drive that indicates power and data transfer to the drive. The LED does fade in and out depending on what the drive is doing but will remain lit while powered. It is not adjustable in any way and does not have a way to disable. Just a personal preference, but I do like the LED and the overall look of the drive. They do include a USB cable that is less than 1 foot in length. I'm guessing to keep the data transfer speeds from being affected by longer cables. I have not replaced with a longer cable but it is an option. Not sure if it will affect performance. NO EXTRA POWER NEEDED! USB power is all that is needed. Only one cable needed with this drive. This means less wires to manage and less risk for dust or debris to get into the drive or ports. Set up was easy for the PS4, all I had to do was format through the settings after I connected the drive to the console. I use this external drive on my PS4 connected to the USB. My console still has the original HD internally, but I use this as my Extended Drive and where all of my games are installed. While I haven't done any testing or timing, the load times appear to be nearly the same as the OEM hard drive that was included with the system. The 5TB storage capacity has allowed me to install every PS4 game I own on disc and has allowed me for the first time to purchase digital copies of games. No more need to delete installed games and wait countless hours for them to re-install!! If you are wanting a mechanical HD for your gaming needs, I highly recommend this drive! I've purchased 2 for my home and really love them! ## Features - Up to 6TB[1] that can hold up to 150 games[3], so that you can save old favorites and still have room for new titles. - Portable form factor with sleek metal top covering that provides fast access to your growing game library - Speeds up to 130MB/s[2] to push your console or PC to new levels - Compatible with Xbox Series X|S (play and store Xbox One games / archive Xbox Series X|S games) and PlayStation 5 (play and store PS4 games/archive PS5 games) consoles - Premium HDD with 3-year limited warranty, purpose-built for gamers based on WD_BLACK quality and reliability ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07VNTFHD5 | | Additional Features | Portable | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,995 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #142 in Xbox Series X & S Accessories #283 in PlayStation 5 Accessories | | Brand | Western Digital | | Built-In Media | Quick Start Guide, USB Type-A to Micro-B Cable, WD_BLACK P10 Game Drive | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Game Drive for PC, Playstation, & Xbox | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Microsoft Xbox SERIES X | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 25,650 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 1 megabytes_per_second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 5 TB | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00718037870984 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 1 | | Hard-Drive Size | 5 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB 3.0 | | Hardware Platform | Mac, PC | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 11.81"L x 8.79"W x 2.08"Th | | Item Type Name | Hard Drive | | Item Weight | 8.16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Western Digital Technologies, Inc. | | Media Speed | 1 | | Mfr Part Number | WDBA3A0050BBK-WESN | | Model Name | P10 Game Drive | | Model Number | WDBA3A0050BBK-WESN | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 130 megabytes_per_second | | Special Feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | Gaming, Personal | | UPC | 718037870984 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 3-year manufacturer's limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Western Digital - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Game Drive for PC, Playstation, & Xbox - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 5 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Portable ## Images ![WD_BLACK 5TB P10 Game Drive, Portable External Hard Drive, Works with Playstation, Xbox, & PC - WDBA3A0050BBK-WESN - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LoKFsOnVL.jpg) ![WD_BLACK 5TB P10 Game Drive, Portable External Hard Drive, Works with Playstation, Xbox, & PC - WDBA3A0050BBK-WESN - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51sUAgwqi4L.jpg) ![WD_BLACK 5TB P10 Game Drive, Portable External Hard Drive, Works with Playstation, Xbox, & PC - WDBA3A0050BBK-WESN - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Qj5rjgtgL.jpg) ![WD_BLACK 5TB P10 Game Drive, Portable External Hard Drive, Works with Playstation, Xbox, & PC - WDBA3A0050BBK-WESN - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Xihmlq1BL.jpg) ![WD_BLACK 5TB P10 Game Drive, Portable External Hard Drive, Works with Playstation, Xbox, & PC - WDBA3A0050BBK-WESN - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619XBy6pASL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: The press release for the P10 states it is USB 3.1 Gen 1 capable but it doesn’t advertise it in the current listing. Can anyone confirm this?** A: The USB Forum is confusing as hell. Are you ready? Okay: USB 3.0 is SuperSpeed, which would make it too easy to determine which USB is which, so of course they don't use that name. So it's called 3.0, except now it's not. 3.0 and 3.1 gen 1 are the same thing, same speed and all (5gbps). Then you have USB 3.1 gen 2. It's a genuine upgrade over gen 1 speed, but PSYCH! Name swap again! Now 3.1 is 3.2 gen 1, and 3.2 gen 2, and now there is a new one called 3.2 gen 2 by 2! It's maddening! Anyway, in summary, yes this drive is USB 3.0, or 3.1 gen 1, or 3.2 gen 1, whichever you wanna call it. **Q: Does it come with the necessary usb cable? lots of marketing blah-blah-blah but little useful information.** A: It should come with a 2-3 foot long cable 3.0 cable (B-type to A-type). I have yet to buy an external USB HDD or HDD enclosure without some kind of USB cable. **Q: Can I use this hard drive for backing up my PC for pictures, movies, excel, word files?** A: I’ve had this hard drive for 4 months and it performs beyond expectations. I’m a hardcore gamer and I rely on fast connection speeds. This hard drive, while made for games, would be useful for storing apps, pictures and documents. In fact, it’s overkill if that’s all you plan to do with it, but it will work better than non-gaming portable hard drives. **Q: Does it have password protection with hardware encryption ?** A: No ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for PS4, tons of storage space. *by T***D on July 20, 2026* Great item.

Very little lag time even on modern games, though it can struggle on games with extremely large open worlds when traveling long distances. Even then, it is a minor interruption at most. The only reason I had to buy a second was due to Microsoft updating and killing it... rip. Works great though and I've never had any issues with it, plus you don't have to keep deleting your games from steam due to space. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD_BLACK 5TB P10 Game Drive, Portable External Hard Drive, Works with Playstation, Xbox, & PC - WDBA3A0050BBK-WESN - FATBEAR Tactical Military Rugged Shockproof Armor Protective Skin Case Cover for Western Digital WD Black P10 2TB 4TB 5TB Mobile Hard Drive (for P10 4 5TB) - ProCase Hard Drive Case for Canvio Basics Western Digital WD Elements My Passport Seagate Portable Backup Plus Slim 1TB 2TB 3TB 4TB USB 3.0, 2.5”, Samsung T9 Portable External Hard Drive Case -Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/152402507-wd-black-5tb-p10-game-drive-portable-external-hard-drive](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/152402507-wd-black-5tb-p10-game-drive-portable-external-hard-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
