    Great backup drive, i lost my last one in an elrical storm so i do not blame the device, it lasted over ten years. Was always taught to 'make backups of your backups'

    I am so glad I purchased this external drive. It has been great having the extra storage and I don't have to pay for the cloud.

    It's a little slow but that's okay for the amount of storage.

    I purchased this external hard drive because I only wanted to backup my desktop before purchasing a new OS. Well 1 month to the day after the Best Buy warranty ran out this thing crashed. Maybe I should have purchased the extended warranty and it would have have lasted 1 day after that warranty ran out. I will go to my local Best Buy day after tomorrow but I highly doubt I will get a refund, but we shall see. Maybe we can start manufacturing stuff like this in the U.S.?

    Best external hard drive for Xbox One

    Posted .

    After performing a long agonizing search for a suitable external hard drive for my Xbox One I found this. The Buffalo has the largest cache at 1 Gb as verified thru tech support on Buffalo's website. It has a fast 7200 RPM for gaming which makes it ideal and was the easiest setup of any external drive I have ever had. I like it so much I purchased two more for my sons for their Xbox One.
