Needed a 4Tb drive
I needed a 4Tb drive and Argos had a model I like.

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.

Western Digital 4tb external hard drive.
Bought this a few weeks ago as my previous 3tb drive corrupted so needed a replacement fast. No problems as Western Digital is a good brand. More than up to the task and a spare gigabyte of room to boot!

Perfect for my Storage Needs
No setup required; just plugged in and it worked.. Comes with optional software (I didn't install it because I have no need). Transfer speed is fine and it barely makes a sound when a data transfer is taking place.

Quality external drive
Just what I was looking for. 4Tb external drive that I could save my music and photos on. I bought a couple off ebay but they both had problems...sometimes, you get what you pay for. This one was £99 but worked without a hitch. I wish I had saved my money originally!!! Just had to plug in and go. That's how easy it was.
Steely, 65 or over
All good
Simple, plug in and go. Good size for its capacity. Not sure how sturdy the socket on it is, but I've had no problems so far.

Hello Steve75.
WD Elements 4TB Portable Hard Drive:
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.
Thank you for using Q & A.

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.
