Our take
This WD BLACK D30 external SSD is a decent entry-level option if you're looking to expand your game storage without a huge investment. The 500GB capacity is suitable for a few large titles or a good number of smaller ones, particularly for PS4 compatibility. The USB-C connection is convenient and ensures good compatibility with many modern devices. However, the lack of a specified read speed is a bit of a drawback, though being an SSD, it will undoubtedly be faster than a traditional HDD. If you're a casual gamer or just need a bit of extra space for your current rotation of games, this drive is a solid, no-frills choice.
