Love it so far, will buy a 2TB when price drops.
Bought this for my Xbox Series X to store Xbox One games on. Pretty fast drive and small enough to hide, can't even see it sitting behind my console.

This drive is serving my purpose well. Needed to replace an HDD for back up of certain files. The old drive suffered a failure and this is working great. Too bad I could not register it, the site threw me off each time I tried. Hope it doesn't quit.
