Connectivity is accomplished with a USB Micro-B to USB-A, something I wish the industry would abandon entirely in favor of USB-C.

So much so that I had to double check that it’s actually a HDD inside and not an SSD. Measuring just 3.46″ x 4.65″ x 0.5″, it’s downright tiny. The 5400 RPM HDD is encased in what appears to be aircraft grade aluminum, with heat-dissipating ridges along the top.

One of the things I like about the P10, especially since it’s a spinning platter hard drive, is the armored case. The WD_Black 1TB P50 certainly does the trick, but at $188 at the time of writing versus 5TB of storage for $109, you can see that obvious price to performance intersection once again. An hour of capture at 4K and 144fps took up 56GB. I have a thumbdrive, but frankly it’s getting largely insufficient as file sizes grow. What I’ve tried to build is my attempts to balance that price to performance, but it still lacks portability. By way of comparison, the largest M.2 drive available is the Sabrent Rocket Q 8TB clocking in at an eye-watering $1,299. Looking at the price to performance ratio, there are obvious breakpoints – there’s a reason why larger drives are called “cheap and deep”.

It’d be unfair to make any kind of comparison without going over the numbers, including price, of the drives involved in the setup I mentioned above.Ĭrucial MX500 2TB x 2 SATA SSD – $179 x 2 Without further ado, let’s get a closer look at the WD_Black P10. We got our hands on the gaming-focused hard drive, benchmarked it, and put it through its paces. Enter the WD_Black P10 – an armored ultra-quiet 5400 rpm coming in at sizes up to 5TB that could be perfect for holding onto your precious memories, or transporting massive raw video files from here to there. There are drives like the 1TB WD_Black P50 that are high speed, but the faster you go, the less space you’ll likely have, and sometimes you need that extra legroom. It’s a lot, but there’s one more drive I need – something portable. I use a tiered system for my setup, with a NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 drive for my high speed workloads like video editing and gaming, an SSD for high-speed storage where blistering speed isn’t required but mid-tier speed is required, a fat spinning platter hard drive for large files that I access infrequently or aren’t speed-sensitive, and a frankly huge backup drive for “cold storage”.
