Return this wrong thing it was a great idea but ordered wrong thing

FOR ANYONE WHO READS THIS. If you're looking for a Hard Drive to store AND play XBOX Series X games directly from the hard drive, then this drive won't work for that. It will store all of your Xbox 360, Xbox One & Xbox Series X games. However, if you want to play directly from the hard drive, you will be only be able to play any Xbox 360 or Xbox One games that aren't Series X Enhanced/Games. The Series X Games or Series X Enhanced games have to be transferred to the Internal NVME SSD Drive in the Xbox Series X or a Seagate NVME Storage Expansion SSD Card that's plugged into the Series X. No matter what... you need NVME SSD Storage to play Xbox Series X games. The real benefit of this drive is the 8TB of space (at a reasonable price) to store extra games. If you have a lot of Xbox One, 360, Digital Games (like I do) & you would also like some extra storage space for Series X games, then this drive will work well for you. Transferring Series X games to and from the Drive to NVME Storage is also very quick so it's a breeze to transfer games back and forth. I personally bought a 1TB Seagate NVME SSD Card and this 8TB Hard Drive for my Series X. So I have 2TB of NVME Storage & 8TB of regular storage and even with 2TB, My NVME storage is completely full, so the 8TB really comes in handy to store extra games. Now, I have over 300 games allocated on my storage, so I know not everyone will need that much storage, but if you have a lot of games or intend to have a lot of games, this drive could definitely save you some money on storage rather than buying the more Expensive Seagate 2TB NVME SSD Card which is 400 dollars or something ridiculous. PROS (Why you should buy it) 1. You have or intend to have a lot of games (Xbox 360, Xbox One, Digital, Xbox Series X) You can play any of the 360/One/Digital games off of the hard drive except Series X / Series X Enhanced games. 2. Transferring is quick and easy. Since it plays Xbox One, 360 & digital games off the drive. The only game files you ever need to transfer are Series X games which have a real quick transfer time. 3. You're just buying the console & you don't want to fork over the $$$ for a Seagate NVME SSD Card just yet, BUT you still want extra storage space for games. If you don't care about the transferring of Series X games back and forth and you just want a bunch of extra storage, You can't go wrong here. 4. You could buy a Seagate 1 TB NVME SSD Card and this Seagate 8TB 3.2 Gen Hard Drive and still spend a ton less money than buying the 2TB Seagate NVME Card. And you'd have 10TB of storage (2TB NVME & 8TB Regular). That's what I decided to do and I'm pretty happy with that decision. CONS (Why you shouldn't buy) 1. You're expecting to store and play Series X games off this Hard Drive. It will not play Series X games off the drive, you need NVME storage for that. 2. It comes with a AC power adapter, so it always needs to be plugged into an outlet AND the Xbox itself (through USB). This may be an annoyance or even a deal breaker for some. I know a friend who just bought two 4TB External USB Drives instead of this Hard Drive because he hated that it had to be plugged into the wall. 3. It's louder than External USB drives. You will hear the Hard Drive processing & moving data, it is noticeably louder than smaller External USB Drives. If you think you would be annoyed by sounds coming from the drive, probably not gonna be for you. An external 4TB drive might be a better bet, they are quieter. That's all I got.

I got this to download games from gamepass on my Xbox series X but only old games download. Not new games that are specifically for Xbox series X or s.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Does not play Series X|S games even though it does not say anywhere it doesn’t.

My external hard drive just quit working today. .

I wish BestBuy would not post inaccurate 1-star reviews from users who do not understand the technology, buy the device, and blame the device. Nexgen systems (xbox x, xbox s, ps5) optimized games have to run from an SSD. They need the read speeds that are in the 1000s… not 100s like a HDD. This large HDD can store the next gen game, but then you have to copy it to the console internal SSD to play, which takes some time. You can leave it there as long as you want, then copy it back to this HDD to make space for a new nexgen game to play from the console SSD. You can store all the Xbox One games on this you want and theyll play from this.

The pricing was perfect since I could get a external drive with a quarter of the space for about half the price. Bought it for my partner since he was complaining about not having enough space for his games on his Xbox, now we don't have to worry if it's going to happen any time soon.

It’s great! I love it! Easy to use and very easy to buy online as well.

So far so good this product is doing what it needs to for my xbox and i couldnt bee more happy. If anything ends up going wrong ill come back and tell you about it.

This is a good product , works as expected and I'm able to store a lot of my games on it . Now the issue is that sometimes it likes to not connect to my xbox, Act like it's not plugged in and I have to go over and disconnect/reconnect it . This isn't something that happens often , so for the most part it's a great product that I love

I got it to store data for my computer, I have ark survival evolved and it's dev kit so that's a ton of memory needed so I got this.

It was exactly what I needed was able to expand my driver has all the extra space I needed for games!

Wow, I can't believe Xbox came up with this design many customers will definitely have connected to there New Gender console I wait to purchase when more available stock comes in.

Does this hard drive work with the X/S gen consoles for loading games onto and playing the games on ?
