Great purchase
Great little memory. Not expensive at all for a 2Tb memory and it has a cool design.

Competent HDD with a nice design
The Western Digital P10 2TB is a great supplement to your Xbox (or PC really). Billed as a high performance gaming accessory, it really is a fast external HDD with a USB 3.0 5gbps interface (or USB 3.2 Gen 1 - thank you USB consortium). This means it’s portable, fast, and large. Couple with the trial of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, it’s easy to see how these two products go hand in hand. When you first open the P10, you’ll notice that it’s about the size you’d expect width wise, but it’s very compact when it comes to height. The lid is made of what appears to be aluminum, which helps dissipate heat (I suspect), while the bottom is made of plastic with nice rubber feet which helps dissipate vibration (I suspect). The casing has a small LED light and USB 3 Micro Type B port on back. Other than that, it’s a pretty simple affair. WD Black is imprinted on the lid in a very edgey tech font, but overall it’s pretty non-description and easy on the eyes. When I plugged the drive into my Xbox, it was immediately recognized and I was given the choice to use for media or games. I chose games and activated the free trial of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which grants access to an almost Netflix like selection of games. I chose a bunch of titles I was interested in and downloaded them. I was able to sustain 300mpbs downloads and sustain writes. While I suspect the drive can sustain higher writes (that’s only about 40MB/s), it kept up without any issues and only was mildly warm to the touch. The 2TB capacity is a good pairing with Game Pass Ultimate. Essentially you can download a huge library of games that are ready to play at any given moment. To get your money out of Game Pass, you really need an external drive, because the internal 500GB or 1TB just won’t cut it alone. It’s nice that it comes with a trial, as I believe most people looking at the 2TB expansion are probably interested in this service. Playing games off the drive on the Xbox was excellent. I loaded up Doom and a few other games which played excellent and had no stuttering. In fact I noticed very little difference from the internal drive, which was impressive. The P10 isn’t a magical gaming tool that will help you frag those you see. What it is, is a competent drive with good performance, on a good USB 3.0 implementation in a compact and thoughtful design. It blends in well with the Xbox while being distinctly its own style, and it performs just like you’d expect a high performance external drive to perform. Overall I highly recommend this drive to expand your storage needs!

Useful, but dates codes
Bought 2 of these to go with my kids' new xbox consoles. Both are supposed to come including 1 month access to Game Pass Ultimate. Both did, but the codes are expired. I just purchased these at the beginning of November. Codes expired in June. Wild.
