Pros:
Nice metal case
Modern looking
Fast for a mechanical external hard drive
WD quality
Great value for the price
Cons: None
Overall Review: It’s an outstanding product for the price, very fast considering it’s an external mechanical hard drive, all the WD devices I have owned has been great, this ones no exception, does what I need it to do & does it fast
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: The light on the front stays on even when pc is off
Overall Review: So far great product
Pros: I needed additional storage for my XBOX One S and this fit the bill. Plenty of storage for my needs and a price I could afford. I looked at other possible solutions from other brands, but the poor reviews of those scared me off. This WD BLACK had good reviews and I am familiar with other WD products.
Cons: So far everything is exactly as expected, no problems so far.
Overall Review: If you are looking for additional storage for an XBOX, this is the way to go. They have several options as to capacity, etc. I am very pleased with the product and would recommend it to others.

- easy to plug and play for more mobile gaming
Overall Review: I had sworn off mechanical drives a few years back, and did not think I would consider anything but SSD. Newegg had an impressive sale offer for the WD_BLACK P10 Game drives. The storage to price was better then any HDD, or SSD. The read/write speeds were very good for a usb external storage unit. My last mechanical HDD was a WD Black 5TB internal drive that served me well until it started to report SMART failures. So I took a chance and bought one.
Overall it is a great external HDD. It comes pre-formatted as an ExFAT format. I considered a reformat to NTFS, but found most suggest the ExFAT for better plug and play usage. Crystal Disk test report a average read/write of 125MB/s compared to the advertised 140MB/s. This speed put my WD BLACK 5TB internal HDD to shame which only averaged 105MB/s. I copied my hefty library of games, about 3TB, over from my secondary SSD. This took about an hour, and had no errors. I then tested a few games. Loading does take a bit more time, but gameplay does not suffer much.
I would definitely suggest the WD_BLACK4TB P10 Game HDD. I may not use it for my desktop often, but it is a good backup. I may also use this for my gaming laptop that has a OEM 1TB SSHD. The internal drive does okay for running the OS, but games do not run smooth. When I connected the WD_BLACK P10 Game Drive and played some games it was far smoother when run from the external drive. So another good usage if your internal laptop storage is small, slow, or both.
A small negative. I had hoped to take the drive out of the external case for use internally in my desktop. I was able to find a Hex Key small enough to remove the outer case bolts, but the cover would not come off. The top cover is inset, and I can only assume not designed to be user serviced. Just a minor let down. I slightly doubt I would see much better performance by installing it to a SATA 3 connection.
