    Returned this. Thought it would run faster being that it is a X-Box exclusive item. I already had a standard storage drive that works just as well.

    This thing doesnt even let you play x/s enhanced games... which is the entire reason i needed an external hard drive, in the description it says it works with xbox series x/s, how bout mention how it only works with the system it doesnt actually let you play the game! Wow $70 down the drain, and the one made for the xbox series x/s is $219! A ridiculous price!

    This product defeats the purpose of actually having extra storage. Even after downloading a game to the external storage, Xbox won’t let you play the game off it, you have to transfer the game to your Xbox’s internal storage to play the game. Frustrating.

    Good to play old games but if you try to play next-gen games you have to have storage on your console and transfer it to your console takes like two hours to switch out games but you can play Xbox one,360,and original Xbox games no problem

    This drive is absolutely garbage. The case is definitely a usb 3.1 speed but the drive inside is once again a 5400rpm 2.5 not a solid state drive or nvme nand drive etc. They could have at least used a 7200rpm drive for better read/write speeds installs larger than 25GB will take close to an hour its laughable that they actually recommend this for use with a xbox series console right on the box. Just avoid any external microsoft/xbox branded external storage that isn't a solid state. Oh and if the drive sits idle for too long the reader blades start clicking mad crazy and becomes unresponsive for several minutes until you attempt to run a file stored on the drive. The green led light and case will also experience their own set of problems from the idling.

    The Best Buy employee told me it increase the memory space in my xbox but what it actually does is saves games in it if you want to play a game in it you have re-download it to play it

    Dont waste your time. I ordered 1 a few days ago and when it arrived, the box looked as though it’d been squeezed and the hard drive wouldn’t sync with my Series X. Sent it back for a refund and ordered another. The second one arrived and the actual Seagate box had a hole bigger than a quarter in it. And when i plugged it in, the hard drive sputtered for a few seconds and died. Ridiculous

    You have to redownload your games to your console after you store it and it takes forever to do.
