So what is it that makes the WD Black P40 worth buying - and indeed, one of the best SSDs for PS5 out on the market right now, not to mention one of the best PS5 external hard drives? Put simply, it's loads of extra storage space for PS5 games and PS4 games. 

Unlike an internal storage option, you won't be able to play PS5 games directly from the P40; you can only store them. However, you're able to both play and store your collection of PS4 games here. As such, it's an ideal choice if you've got a big collection of digital PS4 games that you're looking to carry over to PS5 Pro without the need to redownload the lot from scratch.
