PRO-T5 Series 4TB USB 3.0 External Gaming Hard Drive for PS5 Game Console (White) - 2 Year Warranty

Bottom line: The Avoluxion PRO-T5 Series 4TB USB 3.0 External Gaming Hard Drive: 4TB capacity offloads dozens of PS4 and archived PS5 titles off the console SSD; main trade-off: PS5 games cannot be downloaded to or played from the drive, only stored.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 4TB capacity offloads dozens of PS4 and archived PS5 titles off the console SSD
  • ✓ 7200RPM enterprise-grade HDD rated for 24/7 operation, not a shucked laptop drive
  • ✓ PS4 games run directly from the drive, no copy step needed
  • ✓ Moving a PS5 game back to internal SSD takes roughly 3-5 minutes vs a full re-download
  • ✓ Backed by a 2 year warranty from Avoluxion

Cons

  • ✗ PS5 games cannot be downloaded to or played from the drive, only stored
  • ✗ Internal drive is refurbished, not new, despite the new enclosure
  • ✗ USB 3.0 mechanical HDD is far slower than the PS5 internal SSD
  • ✗ Spinning platter design is more fragile than SSD storage if bumped mid-transfer
