What bitrate? But the answer is almost certainly yes, if you're talking about game streaming or game recording. Basically any WD Red Pro has a sustained write speed of around 160 MB/s (faster for some of the larger models)

 

Even if you were to crank up the bitrate to 1080p Blu-Ray levels, you're looking at under 50 Mbps (about 6.25 MB/s) - let's double it for 4K UHD Blu-Ray bitrate at about 100 Mbps - and you're still only doing about 12.5 MB/s.

 

Basically, recording video that isn't Cinema Grade isn't going to make the WD Red Pro even break a sweat.
