Rank #6 in Best 4TB External Hard Drive 2026: 9 Ranked, Specs Compared
WD_BLACK P10 4TB Game Drive, Camo
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The WD_BLACK P10 Game Drive is a portable 2.5-inch external hard drive listed at 4TB and £140.99, which places it sixth in this guide — comfortably above the £89.91 desktop drive at the bottom and well below the £169.94 model at the top. Western Digital sells it as a games drive: a metal-topped 249 g unit that will play and store Xbox One and PS4 titles and archive current-generation games on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Rating sits at 4.2.
The listing disagrees with itself in more than one place. The capacity field and the product name both say 4TB; the first bullet on the same page says "Up to 6TB capacity that can hold up to 150 games". Advertised speed is 130 MB/s in the bullets and in the Read Speed field, while a separate Media Speed field reads 120 megabytes per second. The interface appears as USB 3.2 Gen 1 with a 5 Gigabits Per Second transfer rate, and as USB 2.0/3.0 in another field. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing — the specs, the price and the quoted speeds — and not from any testing we carried out ourselves.
