Review: One of the best external hard disks available on desertcart - This external hard drive weighs only 230 grams, is composed of a 2.5-inch external hard drive, with high transfer speed that reaches 5 Gbps guaranteed by USB 3.0 which offers a maximum power of 900 mA. The design is elegant and compact since the unit measures only 119x79x15 mm and the coating is in matt black or gray plastic, very resistant to shocks and stresses. Given its small size it is particularly suitable for those who need to use it outside the home. Therefore highly recommended for business trips, as the modern and simple design makes it suitable for various contexts.

The NTFS file system (MS Windows) makes this external drive compatible with Windows 7/8 / 8.1 / 10 operating systems and by reformatting the drive in HFS + you get complete compatibility with Apple Mac systems. You will find in the package in addition to the external drive also a USB 3.0 micro-B cable, quick use guide and warranty card. No power supply and therefore no need to connect to the power outlet to make it work, particularly suitable for use on the go; the user manual can be found pre-installed on the hard disk. It is also recommended for the quick transfer of large quantities of content and for backups, it is an object with an essential line and anything but invasive with a single LED that tells us if the unit is exchanging data with the PC or if it is powered. from the USB. Finally, if your TV has a USB input, you can connect it to view all the folders on the hard disk

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the single come with a usb cable**
A: yes it does, no setting up just plug in and use. it comes up as a drive icon and can be used straight away.

**Q: Can you format it ntfs?**
A: Yeah you can, it comes formatted as exfat however I'd definitely recommend formatting it to NTFS

**Q: usb lead included?**
A: Yes, you will receive the hard drive and a USB 3.0 cable

**Q: Does this work with playstation 5? Is the speed more than 5Gbps?**
A: For PS4 games, yes. For PS5 versions of games, no. You need a PCIE gen 4 M.2 drive that fits the size requirements with a heatsink on and preferably the recommended read/write speed. If all you wanna do is store PS4 games on there though or store ps5 games and don't mind waiting to transfer it over to the internal SSD then this should be a perfectly good and MUCH cheaper option.

*by Y***D on 26 February 2026*

Been using for 3 years now. Easy to format and get set up. I leave it rested on my console and find no heat issues. Portable and conveniently sized. Connects to PS4 and PS5 without issues (however, it will only store and play PS4 games). Currently holds around 12 PS4 games (multiple AAA and AA games), with 230GB left.
