    I was really hoping to get this bad boy hooked up to my new Xbox one x, but it came defective. The cords wouldn't plug in correctly. Here's to hoping the replacement works!

  • Lots of Space but Noisy

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this to go with my Xbox One X since I already had a fairly large game library and the enhanced game file sizes are very big. I love having the extra space, but when the console is off (low power state) the external hard drive continues to cycle which is very noisy. I unplug the USB drive when my console is off because of the noise.
