Gaming can be an expensive hobby that takes up a lot of time and space. Not physical space, but storage space: Games are bigger than ever. That’s why you want to have the best external hard drive to store them. The internal SSDs in the Xbox Series X and PS5 can only stretch so far. Although the PS5 and Xbox Series X can’t run games off external drives, transferring the games between the two is fast and efficient. There are a huge number of high-quality hard drives and solid-state drives on the market, making it easy to find the right one for your needs and budget.

For better or worse, there’s currently only one way to expand the storage on your Xbox Series X/S for next-gen Series X/S games: the Seagate Expansion Card. Similar to the storage situation with the PS5, you can plug in any external SSD or hard drive to expand the storage for standard Xbox games (previous-gen), but you can only store native Xbox Series X/S games on the game console’s internal memory or the Seagate Expansion Card.
It plugs into a proprietary slot on the back on the Xbox Series X/S and “replicates the Xbox Velocity Architecture” (Microsoft’s internal NVMe SSD tech) with peak speeds of up to 2.4GBps of raw I/O throughput. Microsoft says that’s more than 40x the throughput of the Xbox One.
The expansion card now comes in a more affordable 512GB version for $140 along 1TB ($200) and 2TB ($360) versions. The 512GB version can be hard to find in stock.
<div content="LIST ITEM" superlative="Best for expanding storage for PS5 games" description="
You can expand storage for PS4 games on your PS5 by adding a standard external SSD because you can play PS4 games directly from an external SSD. However, that’s not the case for PS5 games, which take up a ton of space and can only be played from the PS5’s internal drive or an M.2 SSD that you install in a special expansion bay inside your PS5.
While the Seagate FireCuda 530 technically isn’t an external SSD, it’s not so different from Seagate’s Storage Expansion Card for the Xbox Series X/S in that it’s an NVMe SSD with very high transfer speeds (up to 7,300MBps, according to Seagate, though my PS5 listed the top rate at 6,800MBps ).
Several M.2 SSDs will work with the PS5 (see our complete list) but ideally, you want one with an integrated heatsink. Otherwise, you’ll have to add one.
The Seagate FireCuda 530 with heatsink starts at $95 for the 500GB version and jumps to $140 for the 1TB version (most popular), $400 for the 2TB version and over $882 for the 4TB version.

If you’re looking for a high-capacity external drive for your Xbox One, the WD Black P10 2TB portable hard drive is a good value at around $80 (the 5TB version is about $120). It gives you portable storage for your coveted game collection. This external drive also comes with a digital code that gives you one month of Microsoft’s Game Pass Ultimate if you’re a new subscriber. There’s also a standard version of the portable hard drive, which also works with PCs and the PS4 for slightly less (it’s missing the Xbox branding but is otherwise the same drive). The portable drive can deliver speeds up to 130MBps.
<div content="LIST ITEM" superlative="Best value for PS4" description="
An external drive means you don’t have to worry about managing the storage space on your PS4 (you can play games without lag directly from the portable hard drive). The 2TB version of the Seagate Game Drive is about $30 less at $80. But you might as well spend the extra dough and get 4TB for this portable external hard drive.
Note that Seagate makes an SSD Game Drive For Xbox but not PS4. The storage drive costs around $160 for 1TB.

You can use any SSD with your PlayStation PS4/PS5 or Xbox One, Xbox One Series X or Series S to store PS4 and Xbox One games and other content and pick up a nice speed bump when loading games compared with a standard external hard drive like the WD Black P10 above. Note that with the Xbox Series X, you can only archive Xbox Series X and S games to this drive, you can’t store full games on it (the Seagate Storage Expansion Card is required for that). The PS5 has the same restriction — you can only store full PS4 games on external drives.
On its surface, then, the WD Black D30 game drive isn’t all that special. It has up to a 900MBps transfer rate, which is basically what a console’s USB 3.1 connection caps out at. But it’s the design that sets it apart. It’s thicker and more rugged-looking than your typical SSD or flash drive and includes a detachable stand with rubber feet to keep it from moving around wherever you place it. This is an NVMe SSD (Non-Volatile Memory Express) that provides efficient performance and interoperability. It essentially looks like a mini hard drive, which is kind of cool.
The standard version works with PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and One X and S consoles, as well as PCs. The Xbox version shown in the image simply includes an Xbox logo and a month of Game Pass Ultimate, a $15 value, for $20 more. Alas, only new subscribers can use the included code, so if you already have a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you’re paying the extra $20 for the logo.
The 1TB version starts at $125 while the 2TB version starts at $180.
<div content="LIST ITEM" superlative="Best ultrafast gaming SSD for PCs and consoles" description="
The WD Black P40 is a new-for-2022 ultrafast SSD that’s more geared toward PCs — and really future Windows PCs with USB 3.2 Gen2x2 since few machines currently have this dual-lane architecture. But it can also be used with consoles and Macs. It’s capable of speeds up to 2,000MB/s.
Rated for surviving drops of up to 2 meters, the drive is durable and has an RGB lighting element that can be customized with a Windows PC. The drive starts at $120 for 500GB but the 1TB at $150 is clearly the better value (2TB jumps to $250).
You do pay a bit of a premium over the WD Black D30 (see above), which comes with a stand and is more geared to game consoles. But this drive is more future proof and you may wish you got it as more devices are equipped with USB 3.2 Gen2x2.

SanDisk makes the Extreme Portable SSD (see above) that delivers speeds up to 1,050MB per second transfer rates. But if you’re a photographer or videographer looking for an even faster SSD drive for your PC or Mac, the Extreme Pro Portable SSD is the way to go for extra storage space. The latest version is capable of delivering up to 2,000MBps (2GBps) read/write speeds if you pair it with the right equipment: In order to get the maximum speed, you need a host system that supports USB Gen 3.2 Gen 2×2 speeds.
Compatible with Macs and Windows PCs, it’s technically ruggedized with an IP55 rating, meaning this can withstand a sustained spray of water. It’s also shock-resistant and has a forged aluminum chassis that acts as a heatsink. It has a USB-C interface and includes both USB-C to USB-C and USC-A to USB-C cable. The 1TB version is around $170 while the 2TB model starts at $219

This drive is about as future-proof — and backward-compatible — as they come. You pay a bit of a premium over the standard WD drive, but this newer model offers a USB-C connection, meaning it has the latest and greatest USB cable connectivity for Macs and PCs. No USB-C on your system? No problem: Western Digital also tosses in a USB-A to USB-C adapter, so this storage device will work with pretty much any computer straight out of the box.

After Seagate acquired LaCie several years ago, LaCie became the company’s premium brand and this external HDD 5TB model can be found on a lot of video editors’ desks (including plenty at CNET). This rugged hard disk drive uses a USB-C interface, is compatible with Mac and Windows PCs and is water- and shock-resistant. A 4TB Thunderbolt with USB-C version is available for Thunderbolt-equipped Macs for about $250.
<div content="LIST ITEM" superlative="Value 4TB SSD" description="
Crucial’s X6 external SSD is considered entry-level because it’s just not as fast as higher-end models, which can offer read/write speeds that are twice or even four times as fast (the Crucial X8 is the step-up model). Even so, the X6 is about 4x faster than a drive that isn’t solid-state, with transfer speeds of up 540MBps for the 1TB and 2TB versions and up to 800MBps for the new 4TB version, which has one of the lowest prices for a 4TB SSD at around $340.
Comparatively, the 4TB SanDisk Extreme SSD, which has a transfer speed rating of up to 1,050MBps, costs $700. So you’re basically looking at a $360 savings if you’re willing to take a bit of a speed hit (again, at least the 4GB version of the Crucial X6 has been bumped up to 800MBps from 540MBps).
