At Gamescom in Cologne, Germany Western Digital Corp. (WDC) announced a new portfolio of external storage solutions for PC and console gamers, its new WD_Black products. The new portfolio includes five new HDDs and SSDs purpose-built for expanding PC and console game capacity. Among the portfolio of new drives is the first-to-industry SuperSpeed USB (20Gb/s), USB 3.2 gen 2×2 port in a game drive. WD will showcase its new WD_Black portfolio at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany at Entertainment Area – Hall 10.1 | Stand E-051 and B2B Area/TRADEVISITOR PLACE – Hall 2.2 D-042.
Games are getting more complicated, come in higher resolution, and unfortunately need more capacity to store and use. While adding capacity to a PC is somewhat easier, upgrading the capacity of a console is more difficult and costly. Gamers sometimes have to delete or move games they play less in order to make room for current games or games with never ending DLC. WD is filling this need with its new WD_Black portfolio.
The company is building off of its WD_Black SN750 NVMe SSD for its new portfolio. The new solutions come with Wester Digital quality and reliability while being built and designed for gaming storage challenges. For the SSD solutions, gamers can see boosted loading screen speeds. WD has teamed up with Microsoft, giving some of the new solutions up to three months of membership of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
