I currently use it on my ps4 and works awesome.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This would certainly work well for storing gaming data (or any other kind) from a Windows computer. It would also work for extra storage attached to an Xbox One. The question is whether it'll work for both simultaneously (moving it back and forth between the machines). I don't have an Xbox One myself, so don't know first-hand. But based on a quick search it looks like the answer might depend on what you want to store on it from your Xbox, just pictures, videos, etc, or also games and game save data. If the latter, the Xbox will want to "format" the drive for its own use, which would wipe out any other data you already had on there. I wouldn't try just letting the Xbox do its formatting first, then sticking data from your Windows comp onto the disk (if Windows could even read it after formatting—Xbox might not use NTFS) because your Xbox could end up deleting the Windows data at some point in the future; I'd try to use separate partitions (two "drives" within one disk). Unfortunately, based on the answers to this question (https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/2r5og9/), it looks like the Xbox One wouldn't support that setup, or at least not well/safely. You might need two different physical disks for your two uses: PC and Xbox.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use it for my Xbox One X. It has not let me down at all, and I love the value and speed it brings. So yes, it works for Xbox One. If you’re trying to do both, PC gaming storage and Xbox One storage, you cannot do that. The Xbox One will format it to a way that a PC will not be able to read the drive, and it will need to use the whole drive in order to function. You have to use it for PC or for your Xbox. Hope this helps.
