This drive will work well as reliable storage for games, whether you're using it for PS5 games or Xbox Series X|S games. You won't be able to play brand-new games off it, since that requires speedier SSDs, but considering the prices, it's an easy way to save yourself time redownloading titles when your internal storage fills up.

Better yet, the black case of the Easystore will let it easily blend in with your consoles and entertainment system, while its USB 3.0 connection will allow quick and easy connections to consoles and PCs alike.

You can't beat the WD Easystore drive at this price, but if you're looking for more options for PS5 storage, see our guide to the best external hard drives and SSDs for 2021, which features other WD drives along with options from SanDisk and Seagate.
