Til gamere, der regelmæssigt skal slette gamle spil for at skabe plads til nye i deres konsoller med begrænset kapacitet, har Western Digital nu annonceret fem modeller under "WD Black" familien for eksterne gaming harddiske. De nye Black D10 enheder spænder i kapacitet fra et 500 GB P50 Game Drive SSD til et 12TB D10 Game Drive til Xbox One, der kan lagre op til 300 spil.

Moderne AAA-titler ender ofte med at tage 100+ GB lagringsplads på vores gaming rigs, både som pc og konsolspillere skal overveje inden indkøb, hvis lagerpladsen er begrænset.

Mens spillekonsoller har en begrænset lagerkapacitet, som ofte begrænses til 500 GB eller 1 TB, kan løsninger som WD Black D10 Game Drive være et kig værd.

Fra deres pressemeddelelse skriver Western Digital selv:

“Our newly announced WD Black line-up is comprised of the following models (in ascending order of starting storage capacity)”

- WD Black P50 Game Drive SSD (500GB $180, 1TB $250, 2TB $500) - This aluminum drive comes with a 20 Gbps Superspeed USB over Type-C (only drive in the line-up with this connector, rest have Micro-B) for transfer speeds of up to 1,980MB/s.
