A: No it is not an SSD drive. But, it is not sad either.
Q: Is this compatible with an xbox one thanks
A: Yes it is. That was the whole reason I purchased mine. 500gb xbox was full and had to delete games every time an update or new game came out. Easy to use just plug it in and follow the onscreen instructions.
Q: Is the drive 5400 or 7000 rpm? What is the cache? 64/128?
A: Most USB power portable HDD are only 5400 RPM and usually come with 16MB Cache which would include this model.
A: Nope!
Q: Will this work with the PlayStation 4
A: Yes. You will need to format it upon plugging it in, but it will work. Much needed too in today's landscape of 100GB game downloads.
A: No it is 100% mechanical HDD
Q: Can I use this to store Xbox games on?
A: Yes you can use it for Xbox games but you will have to plug in the drive to the Xbox and have the Xbox format the drive the drive will no longer be usable for anything else except Xbox until you format it again erasing everything on it. for instance when you upgrade to a new system and no longer need it on the Xbox or just decide to connected to a computer.
