Not good for Xbox One X
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this external HD to help free up space on my Xbox One X, and it works great for that. The problem occurs when trying to play games from the external drive. I had to reinstall Call of Duty WWII back onto the internal Xbox One X hard drive, just so that I can play it without it glitching out and shutting down on me.

Great deal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product and it was $129. I connected this hard drive through usb to my Netgear router and I’m using it as a shared drive in my home network. Not bad deal for what I’m using it for.

Good priced 8TB external
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for ~$160 this drive was priced well. Checking it via badbocks command under Linux takes a few days but I always do that before using any disk. No bad blocks found. Formatting and using as usual.

Better than the MyBook on Xbox One X
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to use the MyBook 8TB on my Xbox One X, but there was always a spin-up time after the Xbox booted. With this, as soon as my gamer profile is ready so are the games on the EasyStore.

So far, so good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I always get nervous putting so many eggs (TB) in one basket, in case the drive fails, but I haven't had any problems yet. I've had portable ones fail more often than these desktop models.
