The D10 Game Drive is a series of hard drives specifically designed to be used for games. Modern gaming console generations don’t have a lot of storage space, and several of them like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have been around for a while now. If you are filling up on storage space, you need an external hard drive so you don’t have to pick and choose what games you want to keep installed. This WD Black drive wants to be that hard drive.
With 8TB of space, you’ll be able to save tons of games, even when some of them are huge 30 to 40GB files. Obviously the size and formatting of games varies quite a bit, but you can expect to save up to 200 games this way. Even when you’re using some of the drive to make room for in-game screenshots and other programs related to gaming.
The drive has transfer speeds up to 250 MB/s with a spin rate of 7200 RPM. While that’s not SSD levels of speed, it’s definitely no slouch and shouldn’t hold up your loading times at all. It also has active cooling technology so you don’t have to worry about the drive while playing games from it.
You’ll even find there are two USB-A 7.5W ports. Use these for charging your mobile devices and other gear.
