Great performance for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a temporary storage to move items for a NAS migration, and this worked like a charm. Did its job in short order, now it'll just live next to my new desktop for periodic backups.

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Usb

Better than the MyBook on Xbox One X
