If you have the new series X or S then you know that 1TB of storage isn't a lot when you consider the size of some games today. But this can be a great cost effective work around if you have a lot of previous gen games downloaded. So to play the new Series S or X games you need the $219 SSD from Microsoft. This is a great cost saving storage option that is way cheaper than the SSD and still allows you to play games. This will allow you to play all your Xbox One Games from the drive. So games like Warzone, Modern Warfare, Fortnite and such will work just fine when moved over to this, and that frees up room on your built in storage for your next gen games to be played. A good cost cutting alternative and highly recommended.

Packaged nicely - very secure. My Xbox is in a desk slot, rather than on top of furniture. For this reason, I couldn’t plug the rather short included cable into the USB port in the back. I plugged it into the side and set the drive on top, which is fine. At least the cable doesn’t show. The console recognized the drive immediately and started the setup. Formatting (recommended by Western Digital) was super fast. It gave me the options to use the new drive by default (as the primary), which I declined. Once plugged in, the entire setup process took about 30 seconds. Super fast and seamless, as it should be. The available space showed immediately. Nice.

Bought as a present and was told it was easy to hook up and just what was needed for extra storage space
