When gaming companies increasing their prices and charging microtransactions, I find it more reasons go to this options nowadays. Thank you for this video

Great video, thanks a million and please bring us more of these drivers with AAA games! ✌🏼🤓🎮

Great video as usual. The most informative videos always come from you. I believe Amazon now has it available.

Just the fact that this has Tekken 8 on it is worth the drive!

Just watched this video and came across your channel a couple of days back! Fantastic breakdowns and reviews. Appreciate you taking the time and legwork to troubleshoot and test all the game drives you come across and giving us your honest thoughts! Do you have any good sites you'd recommend for adding new roms (be it SNES, PS1/ /2/3, Wii, and Switch titles)? This drive looks amazing!

Thank you for the helpful. The Arcade side of things, as well everything I been looking for I saw in this video list, just ordered one. I started doing things myself. Was shocked that my laptop can handled up till Wii lol. Everything I'm looking for is Wii down, So I'm very hyped for this.

might order one on my birthday! this looks incredible for a game especially with gamecube and wii on it! thank you for doing this review :)

Thanks a lot for the review! I hope you can answer a few questions. I’m thinking these usually don’t require a PC, but since this does that eliminates the problem of bad controllers, I hope. How do you save games? Is there an overall save state system or any gimmicks like rewind? How would someone who has no idea what they are doing (me) get into this? Search for “emulation tutorials”? I don’t even know where to begin. Any help is appreciated! Cool video.

Thanks a bunch! It's giving me something to look forward to!

Used your link. Hope it help's your videos are great!!

What are the file structures like on these drives? Are the individual roms accessible to be moved to another drive (like if i wanted to move some to a usb drive to be used on my shield)? Still kind of new to some of this and just trying to figure out what to expect. Thanks for the great videos, really enjoying them!!

Thank you for reviewing this. It looks awesome. Can you share which 3 programs you used to scan for drive for viruses / malwares?

Id love a video dedicated to how to use cheats/cheat codes/save wizard on these emulators!I know you can,but no clue how

would watch it if it was 4hrs video :D GG brother!

My drive came in yesterday. When I initially scanned it, the result came up with 57 infection files and a ton of files on the drive. My virus scanner said it cleaned and took care of the problem. When I got home from work, I decided on scaning it again and see if those files popped up, and I was happy seeing that there was no threats the second time and noticed that the total items on the drives dropped down immensely. Just checked everything out, all the programs and roms play amazing.

hi, Got one ordered from Aliexpress, how long for you to receive the item to you , I'm looking forward , to play retro games on this , thanks for your recommendation

Can you do a tutorial video on how you scan drives like this for malware?

I've been trying to find the most inclusive drive without too many duplicates for many months now. Have you tried any of those 12TB drives, such as the Kinhank or the Super Console X versions?

Why separate the library into 3 different front ends (Retrobat, Launchbox, and Playnite)? Why not just keep everything in one front end? Is it just to give options to the user or is there a benefit for certain emulators that run better on certain front ends?

Wow. I saw this 3TB some where else and I was going to ask you if you were going to review it a week ago but forgot to...Great build at an affordable price. Buy now!!! Totally awesome review!

Thanks so much!

This was a great review of this unit. I ended up ordering this drive off aliexpress. Not sure if i got a bad unit but my game pc running Win 11 doesn't recognize the drive in any of the usb ports but it does spin and vibrate as if it is working. Tried 2 other pcs and the same thing. Opened up the enclosure to reseat the drive, still not recognized. Guess ill have to start a return and get a replacement unit. Am i overlooking something simple?

Thanks for this review. I would like to understand why the drive has all the different frontends on it? What's the point of that? The different frontends also apparently have slight differences in the games based on the frontends - so, can you copy a rom missing from one to another, or are they in the collection and frontend they work best in?

Thanks for the review. Just ordered me one.

no bro, you dont need to insatall other software, maybe you can have some issues with controllers, sometimes your controller is not working and you need just to setting up the controller...or maybe if some games won't play it's because you probably have some firewall or antivirus setting that annoying the emulators!!!!!....but its plug and play about 90 per cent!!!!!

what's up bro You could make a video with a product like this, but it only contains the PlayStation consoles that is, ps one, ps2, ps3, ps4 and ps5. greetings.

I didn't have that issue myself here but have with other drives. A lot of this stuff with emulation though are false positives because of the type of software used with emulation. Not saying this to have anybody drop their guard. You should always scan everything you connect to your network but I've found a lot of the emulation stuff to not actually be as concerning as it initially seems during a scan.

Do you need a computer to run the ps4 games? Or is it plug and play?

I don't own a Windows PC will this work on my Linux more specific Pop OS?

Can I use a series x controller with this,and which virus program do u recommend

Do they make one of these things that run C-64 games? Amiga? These have the games I played most often.

This meets my needs for retro to ps4 m at 59.99$ All those games for that price is absurd.
