    So far so good. It’s only been a couple weeks but this has been working well with my Xbox one. I connected it to the back of the console using the wire that the storage device comes with. This has solved my storage issues so I don’t have to delete games to make space. Everything I download goes right onto this drive. I’ve had no errors or issues with loading games from it. I’ve only used the drive for this purpose. I do no modding on my Xbox.

    I needed to get a new portable drive as my previous one wouldn’t hold a cable anymore. This one fit the bill for price, capacity, and portability.

    I got the WD Passport 5TB external primarily for backups, replacing a previous drive that failed after 6 years. it's found double duty for file transfers as well. It's not as fast as a SSD, but faster than a USB stick. Works well, doesn't need a separate power supply, very convenient.

    I bought this for a Christmas gift for a friend. I use 5 WD External Hard Drives. I knew this was what would help the friend with work. I was right. She loves it, is able to store all her images separate from her desktop PC. I will be buying another for her and another for me because our work loads are expanding. This is the best way to keep documents and records private and safe.

    Plug and Play, 5 TB storage at the right price. Good for backing up data and transferring data. Not sure how to beat this deal.
