Very useful and a affordable price compared to the main competitor.

A must have for anyone with an Xbox series S or X. Grab one for more storage for your games.

Pluged it into my xbox and formatted the drive. Nothing melted or exploded so im good now knowing i can fill this drive with games. Thank you western digital for being awesome.

It’s very affordable and it’s great to store my games on and not move any of my games back and forth very recommend for the newer Xbox series s/x

Works amazing and really brought my Xbox to another level

The device works flawless, only issue I have is the the game pass code is blurry and in able to use

If you are running low on space on your Xbox this expansion card is your solution.

Perfect exactly what i needed great value and easy to install just plug an use.

Very simple to use the only thing if the price was a little lowered will be mero accessible

Got them on sale. Occasionally have to disconnect it from the Xbox for it to be recognized. Guessing it’s a firmware issue. It’s able to store Starfield and play fine

I ordered my hard drive on December 3rd and received it roughly a week later. My Xbox has already gave me a warning saying the hard drive I bought was bad quality and recommended I either get a new one or stop using it entirely. I haven’t even had it for a month. I assume the product is good I just got a dud/mess up, I’d be happy to rate 5 stars but, I spent money and got a bad package so like yea…

Simply put, it works great. The expansion card is plug and play, meaning all I needed to do was take it out of the package and plug it into the back of the Xbox. The Xbox immediately recognizes it and adds the storage to the system. I didn’t have to do any setup, such as formatting the card, etc. When my current storage was full and I needed to download another game, the Xbox informed me that the new game will be installed on the expansion card (see picture). This expansion card is different from other storage devices; it’s designed to perform exactly like the internal Solid-State Drive (SSD) that came with the Xbox. And while it is possible to plug in a hard drive via a 3.1 USB connection and add additional storage space, you’re not able to play the latest Next-Gen games directly off the external hard drive. They would first need to be copied to the internal SSD before the system can play them. It is not the case with this WD_Xbox expansion card. Since it acts just like the internal storage, games can be stored and played on the Xbox from the expansion card itself. A few other things worth mentioning, Western Digital includes a 5 year warranty on this drive. Black series SSDs are made for performance and speed. And their failure rate is historically lower than other drives. You are paying a premium for this SSD, but the convenience it provides is worth the money to me. The fact that my Xbox Series S came with only 364GB of usable storage, it’s nice having the extra storage space this card provides.

This is a much needed upgrade to an amazing next-gen console. I'm so glad they are starting to make other options for these units as they are a proprietary design for the Xbox One Series X. I also am a fan of Western Digital. This drive came well packaged with a quick start card and as a bonus came with a Game Pass Ultimate trial code. The unit is quite small in size. I took a photo of it in my hand for reference. There is not much to installing this. Open the package and insert the unit in to the back of your console. I put mine in with the console completely off. Im not sure its hot swappable but I imagine it is because its 2023 after all. I would defer to the vendor for that information though. Install was simple and my Xbox recognized it without issue. I went to the storage settings within the settings and formatted the unit for use in my Xbox only. After I formatted the card, I went ahead and transferred one of my games to it and I was pretty shocked to see the 5+Gbps speed of which I also took a photo. This unit is extremely fast. I did not notice any slower speeds with loading the game I moved to the new card so I was quite impressed. This is an excellent upgrade for the Xbox One Series X as it doubles your storage without slowing down your system. I would highly recommend this as an additional storage solution.

In the great console wars that have been raging for decades, I take no sides and consider my loyalties up for grabs with every console cycle. I tend to own gaming systems from at least 2 of the big 3 (Sony, Microsoft, and I still consider Nintendo a viable gaming platform albeit in a distant third) anyway, as well as a gaming laptop. Each console has their pros and cons and I consider how the Xbox handles its storage to be the superior method. It's plug and play design is simple to understand and convenient. Physically, it has a small profile and doesn't stick out too much. I don't think it will hinder any position you sit your Xbox in. Obviously, the size makes it very portable or easy to store should you own multiple expansion cards. Once properly installed and formatted, it read 919.9GB of storage. Write speeds and/or downloading games and apps didn't seem any slower than downloading to the internal storage. Or at least it wasn't noticeable to my eye. Neither was loading from the card. And just cause I'm paranoid, I checked the card after a few hours of continuous play, and it wasn't warm to the touch. I think this is a simple and convenient storage solution.

I grabbed the WD C50 1TB Expansion Card for my Xbox Series X because I was constantly deleting games to make space, and honestly, it’s been a solid pickup. Plug it into the back of the console and it works instantly. No formatting headaches, no messing with settings. It feels just like using the internal storage. Games load fast, Quick Resume works perfectly, and I haven’t noticed any performance difference at all. The extra 1TB definitely helps, especially with how huge games are now. That said, it still fills up quicker than you’d think once you install a few big titles. Also, it’s not cheap compared to regular external drives, so the price is the only thing that stings a little. Fast, simple, and reliable. If you want more space without sacrificing performance, it’s a great option. Just be ready to pay a bit for the convenience.
