Western Digital WD Black P50 1TB Game SSD REVIEW | MacSources

A specialized hard drive for gaming exceeds expectations.

Storage is everything these days — even when you play games. Gaming systems come with a certain amount of hard drive space allotted to them, but since more and more games are going to digital download options, they take up that space rather quickly.
