Perfect External Hard Drive For Xbox
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Xbox One X 1 TB quickly was filled up and needed to put on some external hard drive space to continue expanding the gaming library. I purchased x2 of these instead of going with the MyBook because of size and not needing a seperate outlet to power. These fit perfectly on top of the One X and are silent! Worked perfectly!

Fast drive with large capacity
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice looking hard drive, it runs super fast with the USB 3.0 and I have had absolutely zero problems with it. I use it to store my steam games, and it's fast enough to play games off of it with no problems. It has some nice rubber footings on the bottom to keep it from sliding around, which was a surprisingly nice feature.

Linux Compatibility
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great plug-n-play on Linux(Ubunutu). Currently running 16.04 LTS, and the OS has no problem recognizing and mounting this portable HD. I haven't tried running any scripts to auto-backup my folders. But for simple storage, and manual backing up files/folders, the ability to drag/drop various files and folders works flawlessly. Highly recommend.

Reliable drive with good transfer speed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No power supply needed. Just connect the usb 3 cable and your drive is recognized and ready to go. Transfer speeds average 90-100 mb/sec. I like the small size and have had good luck with a 1 tb passport I have been using for years. Fast enough to record directly to with Protools. Makes it easy to transport my sessions.

excellent new portable hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Western Digital has been my preferred portable hard drive so I may be biased. This new version is similar to the new style for the stand up hard drives- sharp edges. In any case the product is solid; 4 GB and plug and play without a hitch. I am pleased with the product, as well as the price ($114). It feels sturdy, works well, and looks fine.

Works Perfectly and Granted MUCH Needed Space!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this external hard-drive for my gaming system (PS4), and it works perfectly. The store representative told me that it may take a while to format to the system, but it only took about a minute or so, and while there is large portion of the space forfeited in the formatting process, you are still left with well over 3 - 3.5 TB of extra space. No issues whatsoever as of current; downloads straight to the device work with no delays detectable. I would definitely recommend for the price.
