Q: Will this work with xbox series x
A: Nope, i just tried and no go, i have to return mine and buy the 16TB version. This is from the xbox website: Note When connecting external drives via USB 3.0, do not connect any single drive larger than 16 TB, and no more than three external drives total at the same time. External storage larger than that will not work.

Massive storage, but only 1-Year Warranty
Seagate Expansion 20TB External USB Hard Drive arrived in retail box, 1-Year Warranty. The power adapter included several changeable international power plug types. MicroUSB 3.0 cable plug. Fairly quiet, but does make a chugging sound. Runs hot 55C in the enclosure. Drive inside is a Seagate BarraCuda ST20000DM001-3Y3103, Made in Thailand. Actual capacity 18.19 TB free space (20,000,586,850,304 bytes). Fast speeds, Sequential 246 MB/s, 239 MB/s R/W, 7200 rpm. About the same performance as an IronWolf Pro. Ran a full surface scan, 30+ hours. No issues, works fine. Good enough for simple NAS storage.

Great Price for a Large Capacity Drive
It's a great value, especially if you can catch it on sale. Performance is good for a hard drive. It does run rather hot, over 50C, and makes disconcertingly loud clicking and clunking noises, especially when it starts up. I'm assuming this is normal for this drive model and that nothing is wrong with it until proven otherwise.
