Works great with my Xbox Series S! Would recommend if you have a series S with low internal storage.

Does what’s advertised. Plug n play. No issues so far

This is a must have. Super small sized so it doesn’t take up extra space or stick out of your console. Basically it’s plug and play. Very easy to use

Purchased this Seagate storage expansion card as extra needed for the Xbox series X/S due to needing more storage for games. Extremely easy installation and use as well as able to take games on drive to other locations when traveling. The only two thing are is that it’s quite pricey and I only wish it could have been at least 2TB’s or larger

Good amount of storage. I personally play a lot of games that take up a lot of storage, so having the additional ssd helps a lot. No issues at all with downloads and everything runs smoothly.

Same speed as the internal ssd and easy to use way to expensive though .

Absolutely amazing. It helped a lot when I only had 500 GB of storage and was only able to have 2 games now I can have up to 10 and its very compact and you can barely notice it's there

I love this memory card that works seemlessly with our xbox series S to function in conjunction with the system memory. Playing downloaded games off of the expanded memory is refreshing.

A must have accessory for your Xbox Series X/S! With game files getting bigger these days it helps to double your game system storage capacity. When playing games, there is no noticeable difference in performance, quality, and speed when it’s off the expandable storage. If you have a current gen Xbox, I highly recommend this product!

The unit has worked perfectly for me. I'm a daily gamer and streamer and this has granted the ability to save more game titles to my system. Easy to install as it just slides right into the port located on the back of my XBOX Series X.

With less than a full TB of storage included in the stock Xbox series X, the default memory will fill up quick. This is the perfect solution of extended memory for the Xbox series X. This special memory card is tuned to the specifications of the default Xbox memory in the console to take advantage of next gen feautures like super fast loading. Highly recommend.

I'm writing this because of all the reviews I see complaining about the drive not showing up on their computer initially, saying "It doesn't work right out of the box!" I often wonder if some of these people never even read the documentation before giving up. The included documentation for the drives is horrible, with only a Quick Start page that shows how to plug it in, but there is great info on Seagate's site that helps if you go look at it. There's also something else I found out that might be helpful, and I'll address that here. Once I've had it in use for a while I'll update this review for a more in-depth account of how well it works. I'll list my comments by issue: 1) Drive not getting recognized. After seeing so many "it doesn't show up" comments, I was concerned when mine didn't show up on my iMac either. I followed the instructions on plugging it in (in sequence, which may or may not make a difference, but you gotta do it correctly just in case), and the first thing you have to do is decide which US Standard plug to slide onto the universal plug adapter; there are two that are almost identical, two-prong plugs; one has holes in the prongs and the other doesn't. Docs say nothing about which to use, so I went with the one with holes. The unit powered up and sounded like it was initializing, but it wouldn't get recognized by my Late 2017 iMac. Unplugging and restarting did nothing. I went to the online documentation and did the recommended check to see if Show Hard Drives was checked in Finder/Preferences/Show-Hard Drives. It was (which I already knew because my others show there, but just in case I needed to recycle the command...). That did no good. After a bit of thought, I decided I'd try the other plug, and that did the trick. USE THE PLUG WITH NO HOLES IN IT if using it in the US! Once that was solved, it showed up and all looked good. 2) Using Time Machine on Mac. The info in the product description says the drive is ready to use with Time Machine, preformatted. The problem is, if you have Catalina or later, there is a new formatting called APFS that replaces xFat, and you will have to reformat to use with Time Machine. This is a simple process using Disc Utility, and it reformats quickly. Once I had that issue solved, I got Carbon Copy Cloner (trial version) and set up the tasks of copying my main hard drive (348.3 GB) and my 8 TB external drive to the new Seagate drive and let it go. The main drive was backed up in just over 47 minutes. Yeah, it's a tad noisy, but nothing that can't go on while working on the computer by any means unless you're maybe recording a YouTube video at the computer or something. The external drive, which had 6.58 TB of stuff on it took a little longer... 12 1/2 hours to be exact. Slow? I don't know, it's the first time I've copied a hard drive with that much stuff on it, but I set the task and left it alone and it was done in the morning. The image included here shows Carbon Copy's review page for the performed tasks. CAVEAT: you may need to use a program that allows the computer to work without shutting down after a period of inactivity. I use an app called "Amphetamine", which forces the computer to stay on in various circumstances that you can set. I set mine to remain on "as long as the specified app is working" and chose Carbon Copy Cloner. Not sure you have to do this, but Amphetamine is a great app and I didn't want to take the chance of having to start over, so I used it, and it worked great. The noise some complaint about could be from other drives (I have the 12 TB version for desktop) or it may be a personal preference, but a drive in a plastic case like this with lots of air holes in it will make some noise, however, I didn't find this "noisy" at all IMHO. So far, I'm impressed with Carbon Copy as well, but like the drive, I'm in my infancy with using it, so time will tell. I also have a 1 TB external I use for Time Machine, so instead of using this one for that, I will most likely also set up the drive to copy that drive so I have a backup of my Time Machine just in case. You can set Carbon Copy to copy whenever it detects a change in a drive, so once the initial copying is done, the lengthy copies are done, and it's only copying when things change. If you have issues with one of these drives not being recognized by your computer straight out of the box, FIRST make sure you have the correct US plug installed. THEN, make sure to reformat to APFS if you're running Catalina or later if you plan to use it for your Time Machine backups. At that point, so far in my experience, it's a great drive. I'm giving four stars only because of having to hunt down good documentation for the actual necessity for reformatting for the OSs, and for having NO information about the right plug to use. NO idea why the one with holes won't work, but it would be nice if they gave a heads-up on that. Once it's been working for a while, I'll readdress this review.

Really glad I got this before prices skyrocketed. This was much needed with the new games coming out this year.

With games these days taking so much space and getting latger and larger with every update, getting one of these is essential. It’s fast and works without any issues. If it fits into your budget I recommend getting one.

Worked better than expected! Clear gameplay even off the drive. Once it formatted didn’t lose much storage at all. All in all would highly recommend!

Easy install. Works quickly and as it should. A little pricey.

This is great if you want to expand your storage on your next gen xbox. I have an xbox series s and this is perfect since the series s only has 350gb of storage. It seems expensive but if you get it on sale then thats your best bet

As much as I hate how much this thing cost it is worth it especially if you have the series s it doesn’t come with much memory so this thing will definitely help and it transfers and runs games off of it beautifully and fast like the storage on the console since it’s from Microsoft bite the bullet and get it if you need more space!

I love this I now have to much storage on my Xbox like I never run out of space and it’s just a simple plug in and format and you are good and it’s attached to the console so it’s out of the way to

This device is the best external storage (SSD) you can purchase for your Xbox ! Very easy to use and very reliable , Thank you for the employee support it was very helpful.
