I was tired of my Xbox One X being a space heater while gaming. This is my temporary solution without opening the system and installing an SSD inside. Performance is an improvement over the 5400rpm internal. Recommend waiting for a price drop on the 2TB SSD. Brought this with my rewards certificates. The only knock is the short dongle or connecting cable. As others have mentioned, may need an extension. Games definitely load faster and heat is minimal. Have also noticed the need to disconnect the drive and reconnect before system start up.

Works great only issue is the card is short so you definitely wanna get a USB 3.0 cable extension so it doesn't get super hot in the back of your xbox.

I was running low on space but also wanted a slight performance boost. This little thing provided both of those. Loading times were noticeably shorter and of course the extra space was great.

Works great. It is plug and play. No lag at all. Transferring games from internal hard drive to this drive does take some time

Really like that this made load times faster for games. As others have stated, the connecting cable is stupid short. I bought an extension cable but couldn't get it to work.
I bought this on sale and had some best buy reward money. Not sure this would be worth paying full price.

Great for loading games faster and with Next Xbox using Solid State Drives it’s a good investment for the future.

WD tends to always provide quality and this 1tb ssd is there in a compact size. The only issue is that the built in cable is subpar so it doesn't set next to the console very well.

Bought this for the one x. If you have the series X steer clear from this as the new box does not recognize the external ssd and prompts you to download new games to the internal ssd or to buy the internal ssd expansion. Wish I would have known that it wasn’t going to be compatible with the series x before buying. Overpriced!

Great SSD, I ran out of memory on my Xbox. (CoD takes up way too much space) I needed something to hold more games, this works well. Load time seems faster than the internal drive, but there's no easy way to tell for sure. Overall, I am happy I chose this drive.
