Bought the Seagate external hard drive as the Series S after setup has a measly 364gb of available storage. It's simple plug in and format and ready to use within minutes. Now you must remember that newer Series X/S games and those that received upgrades cannot be played off the external drive. There are a few exceptions to this though. I have alot of older Xbox One games so I store those and the newer games I don't play regularly on the external. It matches the Series S perfectly and comes with a nice high quality braided cable that is 18 inches in length. Transfer and download times are decent. It can't match the internal SSD or the expansion card but it's not supposed to. If the expansion card was not $200 for only 1tb I may have bought that instead but having 2tb gives me plenty of room to have the majority of my games downloaded.

I bought this because I was getting extremely low on hard drive space on my console. It was extremely easy to install, plug and play, after a quick format I moved my games from my internal hard drive to this external one and it was foolproof everything went very smooth but just to be safe and to make sure no data got corrupted or artifacts were loss I went ahead and formatted it once again and done a fresh install of all my games. Once I updated everything I started to play a few games and everything loaded so much faster with this compared to the internal hard drive gameplay also seemed to be more responsive as there were no glitches at all like I have had a problem with before. I have the Xbox One S instead of the X like I want but I can't complain because it was given to me for free. If you are looking for extra space and more speed I highly recommend this product for you, I'm not sure if it will make a difference on an X model but it surely did for me on my S model. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

Works great with the Xbox One, no issues, haven't had to uninstall a single game.
