QuestionCan I use it on my Xbox one x for games and have pictures-videos from my pc??
Asked 5 years ago by Atw.
- Answer It is a great external Hard Drive, Not a Solid State Hard Drive , (wich for the game to run faster you need a SSHD) but I found out to use it better without the software included with it, just format it for use Windows and Mac, and it is self detect, and there you go; unless you want to install the software for file protection and back-ups etc.....
  I would recommend:
