    Purchased this external hard drive to expand storage capabilities on an Xbox One. Plugged the drive in to Xbox USB 3.0 port, followed the prompt to format the drive to store game data, and was ready to go. It was easy to move existing game data from the internal drive.

    This is my 2nd external desktop hard drive from Western Digital and its great so far. My first one has been used for 3 years so far and it's still in good condition from what I can tell. I trust that this new drive would hold up just as well.

    For the price point, you can't beat this hard drive. Using it for additional storage space and like that it's fully compatible with my Macbook Pro. This is my third hard drive like this and will plan to get another if, and when, I need it.
