essential for any series console purchase especially for the series s with most games coming at over 100gb. now that prices have come down it makes it less of a financial hit

Works great for storing and playing Xbox games, but cant store very many sinve its 500gb. There has been a noticeable difference in loading times. I had an external hard drive enclosure to turn it into an external drive.

BIG NEED TO KNOWS:
- 1TB = ~846GB of ACTUAL Storage
-You CANNOT remote install onto Expansion (fix this)
-You cannot remote manage expansion (fix this!)
So this was really exciting purchase for me. I wanted so many GamePass Games and Valhalla, but I had no space. This allowed me to download and play the Series X|S versions without a problem. You probably already know this but, you cant actually do that with a regular ol External HardDrive, even if it’s USB3!
I was SUPER skeptical about the write/read speeds, and I was right to be. It’s not as flash fast as the advertise and claim. Downloads are obviously dependent on your internet speed, but INSTALLS... well it’s nothing out of this world. and just as fast (maybe SLIGHTLY faster) than an External USB3 Harddrive. Whatre you paying for here? The privilege of installing next gen games. Truly. I will say the boot up/load times are much faster than any other external storage, so I suppose you’re also paying for that.
The biggest bummer with this purchase was finding out you can’t remote install/manage that storage. Nobody talks about it easier. I read at least a dozen PROFESSIONAL articles about this item before purchasing and they all had the same old data to provide, which makes me wonder if they even tested/bought the product or they all just plagiarized from one another. Because no on touched on the small details like the ACTUAL storage or the setbacks from Xbox mobile app/Console companion (listed at start of review). If I had the ability to manage the expansion remotely, this would be a five star item.
Lastly, I dont know that this is really a good VALUE (money vs perks), and I think I’ll wait before even considering another one of these (I’m actually waiting for more 3rd party expansions, which Microsoft promised).
BUT if you’d like to take advantage of these perks, that the product offers, and you’re not too sure about dropping ~240$ on it (with tax) then I would recommend checking out QuadPay. That’s how I got this. I paid 60$ every two weeks, using quad pay, and it made the hit to my wallet, A LOT more bearable.

My brother was struggling to play games that were compatible with his Xbox s because he didn’t have enough room on the Xbox and this card helped him out so much! Now he can download and play many games that he couldn’t before.

Really can’t get around having one of these cards if you get the 500 GB, digital-only Xbox series S. If you want to only play 1-3 games at a time and constantly be deleting them to make room, more power to you. It’s overpriced. I needed it. I bought it. It works as expected. The end.

When you have an Xbox series S you need more storage than the 500 that it comes with. This will give you the ability to have many more games than without.

Bought this to expand my kid’s Xbox Series S… while a bit pricey, it definitely does the trick. Fast read/write, and teice the size of the Series S internal drive. At the end of the day, its a must have for the Series S… and probably eventually for my Series X as well.

Picked this up at a dicounted price, super simple install plug and play. Definitely recommend if your in need of more syorage for your xbox series X or S.

Definitely a plus to have installed on your Xbox. With the file size of games getting larger, having an easy plug in that doubles your memory is a necessity. If you’re on the fence, just get it.

I didn’t realize how much a single game on a XBox really takes until my son had to delete and download his games over and over. This additional memory has really helped so much.

Does exactly what I need it to do without fail adds storage so I’m not having to delete everything from internal completely and just move it or download it to there
