(Pocket-lint) – Western Digital has expanded its range of WD_Black gaming units with new external models ideal for PS5, Xbox Series X / S and PC games. There is also a new internal SSD card that works with PC and potentially PS5.
The WD_Black D30 Game Drive comes in two variants: one standard and one for Xbox consoles specifically, with a one-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership included.
The D30 comes in three storage sizes: 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB. It has its own stand, connects via USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 1), and offers speeds of up to 900MB / s.
However, it’s worth noting that you can’t run PS5 or Xbox Series X / S games directly from an external drive, even if it’s SSD. The internal drives of both consoles have additional magic for complete compatibility.
Prices start at £ 129.99.

The WD_Black SN750 SE NVMe SSD card replaces the older SN750 (not the added “SE”) and also comes in three sizes: 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB. It has read speeds of up to 3,600 MB / s.
It will now work with desktop gaming PCs, but it’s probably best to wait when Sony finally unlocks the ability to add another internal SSD card to the PS5. The feature was planned before launch, but has yet to be implemented.
As far as we know, this card meets the correct specs, but until the feature is active we can’t say for sure.
Still, it’s a great option when it happens, costing just £ 56.99.
The D30 is available now, while the SN750 SE is available for pre-order.
