It works great for my Xbox series x/s, I’m able to download more games than expected

Honestly amazing product, decent amount of storage and the led strip is a cool little future that makes it stick out.

Good drive. Does what I need it to at decent speeds. LIke the light, was able to configure settings to be sure turns off every time the system shuts down. Fast enough to store X Box One X games. If want faster loading, get ssd, more space bigger drive. But got on good sale and no problems since, full of data. Would Recommend for those on a budget with Gamepass and want to talk fuller advantage of it.

Definitely needed to upgrade my console storage. Easy to use

Perfect external hard drive for my son's Xbox & works very well. Easy to use & seamless when storing something on there. Gives him more than enough extra storage & the prices was right, considering that the SD Card, which was not compatible with his older Xbox anyway, despite us being told it was, was an extra $120.

We bought this for my son to go with his new setup. I wish we would have purchased this years ago, he can now have over double the amount of games installed on his system than before. Will be buying more of these for our other setups.

Fast works , slim and quiet . Plenty of space. Great purchase

Excellent storage size for price. Works great no complaints

Great! If you’re a heavy gamer with a growing library, this hard drive is an excellent value. It offers solid performance, easy setup, and reliable storage for Xbox One and backward-compatible titles on Series X|S

I bought this product for my son to tore more memory. The storage great as it will save a lot of his games. It is easy to set up. It does take up much space on his gaming desk. The downside is you can't play the games on the storage, they have to be transferred to the console and remove games from the console to make room for the desired app/game.

Using it for my series S. Works as intended, but don't expect use this for any new seriess/x games. Format was pretty easy and now I have more storage for non s/x games on my xbox. One feature I like is the green light, adds more color to my gaming setup.

Hard drive is amazing and works smoothly for games. I’ve had no issues with the set up. Highly recommend for video game users.

Believe it or not, I didn't actually purchase this drive for the Xbox. That said, anyone that understands how the new Series X|S works, you will understand that (at the time of this review) Microsoft has not authorized any external drives to actually RUN games, but you can STORE them on these drives. I'd recommend you get the 1TB SSD model though, not the 4TB HDD that I'm running. Seagate is one of the only vendors authorized to make the Expansion Card for the Series X|S -- so if RUNNING games from additional storage is what you are after, make sure you get that drive. Storage here is fine. :) For me, I wanted to drive to connect to my M1 Mac Mini. As much as I'd love to add 4TB of NVMe, that's entirely cost-prohibitive - roughly $650+ if I took that path. Besides, I'm using this as storage primarily. So yes, this drive works just find on PC or Mac (or Linux). You may need to format to use it how you like. The drive is extremely quiet, and ironically I'm replacing a 10TB Backup Plus/Game Drive hub from Seagate. Out of the box, the old drive was clickity-clackity and sounded faulty. Controls for drives like this are limited on a Mac, so it would fire up and grind and ding and I just had had enough. I was hesitant to go with another Seagate, but I already had a 2.5" form factor running as a Time Machine Backup in the same 4TB capacity. It's been incredibly quiet by comparison, and this new drive is no different. Even after moving 1.7TB of data the unit stayed cool (barely warm even). The limits of the drive are the mechanical side, not the USB 3 side. While I'd like to push the throughput higher, Blackmagic gave it a 120MB/s write and 108MB/s read speed on every test I threw at it. Since this is mostly my music library and OneDrive/Dropbox local storage, it's not the end of the world. I can always move files to the internal SSD or my external SanDisk Extreme SSD if speed is necessary, such as movie editing. The biggest downside is that the Seagate Drive Toolkit tells me there is a Driver available, but it requires me to lower the security of the M1 Mac to authorize it on macOS 12.x Monterey. I temporarily did this thinking it would install or update the driver and then I could flip it back, but that didn't change anything. It really only appeared to tweak the on/off status of the Green LED bar on the front and the white status LED on the back. As soon as I put my Mac back into the enhanced security mode, it flagged the driver extension and I lost those options. I'm okay with that but it is annoying. Can't speak to longevity, but as I mentioned I own several of the prior generations of this same 4TB drive (STDR400901 from Dec 2016 and STEA4000407 from Nov 2018). The older one runs almost non-stop during the day for my Time Machine backup, while the other is the White Xbox Game Drive and stored and ran most of my XB1X games for years. Both drives have been rock solid, so I assume this one will be too. The only drive that wasn't was the bulkier 3.5" Backup Plus model, which sounds like an old dot-matrix printer most of the day. Should you get it? YES... as long as you are only needing it for storage. You will not run games or bandwidth intensive transfers and be happy. Get the SSD model if you want that.

It’s easy to setup, no hassle and will give you the extra storage you need. I really like the green light it emits when it’s on so that’s pretty cool. Overall a good purchase.

2 TB of storage allows you to hold a lot of games on the external HD. Works like a charm, easy to use. Be aware, this drive does not allow you to play X/S series games directly from it, you would need to transfer the file to the xbox hard drive. Does, however, work for XboxOne and 360 games, which is mostly what I use it for.

This thing is great, a lot cheaper than the alternative especially for someone who’s not a big gamer and just wants some extra space.

After getting the Xbox series S. I needed much more space to download all the games i wanted to play. This thing is a life saver! Makes transferring games over as easy as can be. Although take note that it's not an SSD so it'll take just a bit for load time. Bit overall great product

An excellent product, I would recommend this storage hard drive for anyone who what’s to expand his Xbox storage

This is a cost effective way to increase storage on your Xbox. I was looking for something affordable as opposed to the extra storage cards that are over $200, and so far, this is working out great. My son is able to manage his storage appropriately and access any games that are stored on the external drive. Highly recommend if you want to spend under $200 for additional storage.

Great solution to space issues, easy to use just plug and play and compatible with new XBOX series X. A much cheaper option than the flash drive for the same result!
