Q: QuestionWill this work on xbox one?

Asked 8 years ago by mrwhite.

• A:Answer Yes, they work great! Go online at Best Buy, spend a few dollars more ($115.99) and get the WD 4TB. Only buy the best, Western Digital. They make the best hard drives! I have these on XBOX ONE, XBOX ONE S, computers, TV's, DirecTV Genie and Genie Mini's. Plug it into your XBOX ONE, choose format for games. Tell it to store games there and all of your new games will be installed there.

  I would recommend:

  •

Q: QuestionI'm assuming this portable drive can be used simply as a storage drive without using the accompanying backup software. Am I correct?

Asked 6 years ago by Ed.

• A:Answer That is what I used mine for. All of my photos from 1937 to the present are stored in folders on my new WD Passport. That way I am able to take the Passport with me when I leave home for any length of time and know that they all are safe. Also can take it with me if I want to show some to friends or relatives. I really love it.

Q: QuestionCan you use 1 on both Xbox one an PlayStation 4 or is it one for Xbox an one for PlayStation

Asked 7 years ago by Gamer.

• A:Answer Your better off getting one for each. Some of the support files needed to run the games need to be accessible from the same directory. If you try a splitter for the USB, just not sure if it might have similar file names for each game and that could cause an error when accessing the games of two systems intermixed in one drive location.

Asked 7 years ago by Zorbo1982.

• A:Answer I don't think PS3 supports external saves, in fact I think they got rid of cloud saving. I could be wrong. My advice. Buy a PS4 now or stick it out 15 months for PS5. But don't throw the PS3 away. I've still keep mine still use it.
