About this product
The BUFFALO SSD-PG500U3B is a 500GB external solid-state drive, compact and designed for compatibility with PS4, PS5, Windows, and Mac systems. It offers both USB-C and USB-A connectivity via a USB 3.0 interface, ensuring broad device support. This black, 2.5-inch form factor SSD emphasizes portability, weighing 5.9 ounces, and provides a reliable solution for expanding digital storage, including for gaming consoles, laptops, and desktops.
Our take
This 500GB external SSD from BUFFALO is a decent option if you need a compact and fairly fast storage solution, especially for gaming. Its compatibility with PS4, PS5, Windows, and Mac is a significant advantage, making it versatile for multi-device households. The dual USB-C and USB-A connectivity is convenient for hooking up to various systems without hunting for dongles. While 500GB is fine for some, it might fill up quickly if you're storing many large game titles or extensive media libraries. The USB 3.0 interface is respectable but not the absolute fastest standard available today, so don't expect cutting-edge transfer speeds.
