    I bought this specifically for my Xbox One. Just plug it into the side and follow the directions onscreen. I moved most of games, already installed on my Xbox, over to the external hard drive, and they play flawlessly (no lagging).

    Purchased this for additional game holding capacity for my Playstation 4. Glad that opt to go with this product. Only down fall is you do need a power supply to use it. But that's a given since there is more TB. And also got it at a reduced flash sale price.

    My old My Book was on its last legs, so I had to get myself a new one for my Backups ASAP. As Luck would have it, this was on sale and I scooped one up. The Setup was a breeze and things are back to normal once again. Thanks, Best Buy! :-)

    I did a system backup using the WD software on a Win10 machine and it ran smoothly, but when I did a restore on another Win10 machine I could not find most of the Word docs. The desktop and photos showed up fine. When I moved files folder by folder it seemed to work fine. This device will not work with Win7 as it is not recognized when you plug it in.
