Great Expansion Drive For Xbox X
This Western Digital_Black D30 is a great addition to your Xbox storage. The drive itself is very small, it kind of looks like a little container box. It is so small it will fit in the palm of your hand. It can feel a little bit bulky due to its width but overall is relatively small. Now don’t be fooled by its size because this thing performs like a champ. This is a 1TB gaming SSD drive with NVMe technology rated up to 900MB/s designed for Xbox including the X/S . It connects via USB-C and the other end that goes to the console is USB-A. This a simple plug and play solution but it was required for the drive to be formatted by the console to be used for gaming. I can honestly say I did not notice any difference in the loading time compared to the internal drive. I played Cyberpunk and Overwatch without a hinch. Overwatch took about 4 seconds until I saw the first logo. The quick resume with the Cyberpunk was almost instantly from this drive. Once you plugin to the Xbox you can set it up to be the default installation drive. I did get an error with the Latest Call of Duty Black Ops “This game cannot be played from external drive”. I was not able to play this game from this drive. There are also few games that will display a warning banner stating the “newer games need faster storage” when you try to install them directly from the store. Most were series X/S games. Maybe that’s why I wasn't able to play the COD my version is X/S. i also noticed when I transferred the COD 130GB to the drive it took approx 30 min when initially said about 7 min and half. When I transferred it back to the console it took about 8 min. Overall this is a great expansion storage for your Xbox and the loading time I will say is on par with the internal drive. It is very portable, fast and with the 1TB capacity you can install a decent library of games. In the box you get the drive, USB-C cable, stand, manuals and a month free of Xbox game pass code.

Solid HDD for Series X
This WD NVME SSD is an excellent companion to the Series X. Super small footprint and plenty of storage for your media and games. Inside the package you get the Hard Drive, USB A to C cord, Stand and the usual paperwork. This HDD is small! I placed it next to my PC mouse for reference. Setting up was a breeze. HDD "clips" securely to the stand and just plug in the USB-C to the SSD and USB A to the Series X/S. The console immediately recognized the storage device for me and prompted me to format it for use. Performance is great. I freed up my internal storage of all my Game Pass games by moving it straight to the WD Black. Though, when I moved CoD to the HDD, I couldn't play it. It would tell me Game can't be played so I ended up moving it back to internal storage. Seems like newer Series X/S games must be played off the internal drive though can xfer to the WD if you need to free up space for later use. Every other game I DLed from Game Pass played perfectly without a hitch. Loading times seems exactly the same as it was being played from the internal drive itself. If you need extra storage space for your downloaded games, this WD Black is awesome. Highly would recommend for your digital library. Transfer times are FAST depending on the size of your files.

Portable and easy to set up
Out of the box - well made and solid. I was impressed with the size and how portability of the drive and not to mention that it is a 1TB SSD. I have the XBOX version - the set up was easy however when in use there was some lag but I would not say it would be a deal breaker. The price for an external 1TB SSD from WD is reasonable and this drive looks really cool. Overall, its a cool set up and look for a gaming station. Portable and well made. The speed can be better for an SSD and if you are not concerned with look you can go with something thinner and faster. This is the reason for 4 stars.
