    Primarily to use as backup storage. Included apps are great value in themselves. Be careful with older systems though - may have to partition it.

    I have this drive as storage for my Xbox One and it’s provided all the extra game storage I could have hoped for. No issues at all.

    It’s easy to plug the usb in and use this. The only downside is the program preloaded on the drive to use it - I’m not a beginner and it was useless to me - but you can reformat in seconds and move ahead.
