Video games are getting a whole lot better, but they’re also getting a whole lot bigger. Because of that, gamers know the struggle of juggling storage, which can get seriously tricky. That, however, is where Western Digital comes in, with the WD_BLACK™ D10 Game Drive for Xbox™ and WD_ BLACK P50 Game Drive SSD.
The two drives serve a slightly different purpose, but they can both help gamers, whether they prefer to game on a console or on a PC.
The WD_BLACK D10 Game Drive for Xbox is purpose-built for high-capacity storage. This drive is perfect for those Xbox One™ fans who want to upgrade to the new Xbox consoles. Simply backup your Xbox One game library to the WD_BLACK D10 Game Drive and immediately start playing them on your new Xbox Series X|S for upgrading made easy 1. Included for free with purchase is also a one-month membership of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.2 A hard drive with data transfer speeds of up to a hefty 250MB/s3, the D10 for Xbox also has active cooling technology that helps keep your drive performing its best whenever you’re using it.
Even better is the fact that the WD_BLACK D10 Game Drive for Xbox comes with a massive 12TB4 of storage. That should easily store your favorite games, and in fact, with an average game size of 36GB, you’ll be able to store up to as many as 300 games.5 This drive goes the extra step, too. It’s actually more than a hard drive, offering two 7.5W USB-A ports for powering and charging your gaming devices and accessories. In other words, you should never find yourself out of power when you’re ready to head into battle.
Of course, while the WD_BLACK D10 Game Drive for Xbox is an incredible-performing hard drive, it’s still bound by the physical limitations of being a hard drive. That means you can get a massive 12TB4 of storage, but if you’re looking for something with higher speeds, you may want to consider the WD_BLACK P50 Game Drive SSD.
The WD_BLACK P50 Game Drive SSD is a solid-state drive that strikes the perfect balance of speed and performance which essentially means that it offers blazing fast read speeds at up to 2000MB/s.3 With speeds like these, you can load and play your PC games straight from the drive itself, cutting down on load times and getting you into the game faster. The drive even has a SuperSpeed USB 20Gb/s interface. For console gamers, the drive can be formatted to work with PlayStation®5 (for PS4™ games only) or Xbox™ Series X|S (play and store Xbox One™ games; archive Xbox Series X|S games).
When the product first launched in 2019, the WD_BLACK P50 came in capacities of 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB.4 Now, however, gamers looking for higher capacity to go along with the high speeds will find a perfect match in the new 4TB version4 of the drive. With capacity like this, not only will you worry less about re-installing your console games, or having enough space on your PC for new ones, but long loading times for those games will also be a thing of the past. No matter how you game, the WD_BLACK P50 Game Drive SSD is a sleek powerhouse drive that will provide fast access to your growing gaming library, anywhere you go.
You can get both the WD_BLACK D10 Game Drive for Xbox and the WD_BLACK P50 Game Drive SSD at select online retailers or grab it for yourself straight from the Western Digital website.
