Good capacity
Portability is good but the media files cannot be open with default applications.

Does what it says on the tin.
Been trying to buy for a while but Argos online refused to accept my location existed so went to store. Collected same day so good eventually.

Fast, large and reliable 4tb Hard drive
This is one of the best drives on the market. Convenient, fast and great capacity. Size is good for easy transport and just plug n play with out the need for formatting, unless you need to partition. Highly recommend 🙋🏻♂️

Works extremely well
Works extremely well. Very easy to use. Holds both my and my husbands backups with lots of room for further uploads. Takes quite a while on first use but not too long.

Basic backup storage
Have WD Passport that has been reliable and this seemed similar and best combination of price and projected lifespan for required 4TB from known brand. All works fine for Time Machine with Mac Mini. 5 stars provided it doesn't fail for a few years!

4TB on hand
I was thinking I’d have to go into central London to buy a 4TB hard drive, but my local Argos had one in stock - brilliant. Saved me lots of time.

Hello Steve75.

Yes, it can be used with the PS5 for game storage only. To play you would need to copy the game back to the PS5’s internal SSD, then Launch and play it normally.

Hello Matt,
From the information we have available, I can advise the WD Elements 4TB Portable Hard Drive can be used to save games and play them on your gaming laptop. It connects via USB 3.0, which provides fast data transfer speeds suitable for gaming. However, keep in mind that while it is great for storing and playing games, the performance might not be as fast as an internal SSD, especially for games that require high read/write speeds.
