Will it work with a PS5 or Xbox?

It connects over USB-C, so it works as external storage on consoles that accept USB drives. Games played directly from an external drive depend on the console's own rules, so check that before relying on it for play.

Does it come with cables?

Yes. The box includes a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to USB-A cable, a travel pouch and a user guide.

Why is the usable capacity less than 1TB?

The drive is sold on decimal capacity, where 1TB equals one trillion bytes. Once the file system and formatting overhead are counted, the space your computer shows is lower, which is normal for all drives.

Kootion does not publish a speed figure. Real transfer speed depends on the host device, the port and the cable used, so expect it to vary between machines.

Is it good for gaming?

It is a reasonable choice for storing a game library and moving large installs between machines. Load times from an external SSD are slower than from an internal drive, so keep frequently played games on internal storage.

Our take on the External Portable Solid-State Drive 1TB

The Kootion Portable SSD is a 1TB USB-C drive in an aluminum alloy body wrapped in a silicone case. It ships with both USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables plus a travel pouch, so it connects to phones, laptops and older USB-A ports without an adapter. It is aimed at people who want fast external storage for game libraries, large video files or backups. Against big-name rivals it leans on the bundled cables and pouch rather than on a headline speed rating, and Kootion is a lesser-known brand, so warranty support is the main trade-off.
