Overview
WD Blue makes this drive for notebooks, desktops, all-in-one PCs, external enclosures and game consoles. It is a small-format SATA drive with a platter inside, and the listing names a Sony PlayStation as a compatible console.
Capacity in a laptop-size format is the reason to buy it for a game library or media archive. The limit is the mechanical design, which loads slowly compared with flash drives, and the listing mixes a part number that looks unrelated.
Who it's for
Gamers with an older console and notebook owners who need extra room will use the large capacity. Anyone who values load speed over space should buy a flash drive.
Pros and cons
- Standard 2.5 inch size
- PlayStation 4 compatible
- Works in laptops and PCs
- Mechanical, slower than flash
- Part number entry looks unrelated
- Read speed entry is inflated
Performance notes
A spinning platter at moderate speed gives steady sequential transfers but slower random access than flash. The cache helps smooth short bursts. The listed read speed figure looks like the interface limit, not the drive.
