Our take
This 5TB WD Black P10 is a solid choice for expanding your game storage, especially if you're primarily on PC or laptop. The 5400 RPM and 64MB cache are typical for an external HDD, offering a good balance of capacity and cost. The USB 3.0 interface ensures decent connectivity, though you're still working with HDD speeds, not SSD. The claimed Blu-ray BD-R writable and readable formats are an interesting, if niche, addition for an external drive. Overall, it's a practical solution for archiving a large game collection.
