Western Digital WD_BLACK 1TB D30 Game Drive SSD for Xbox, External

Significantly increased the speed of my Xbox one original console. We're talking 8 minute load times down to 2 minutes. Great deal great product looks cool too on its little stand. I wish they made a 10 terabyte in the same style because I would definitely buy one. With the increasing size of games and the add ons, it would be worth it to have that much available disk space and be portable on top of all of that.

This item is faster than any HDD storage devices on the market. It's faster than the internal HDD on an xbox One as well. To use it for games/apps it has to be reformatted, which is easy to do using an xbox. As it comes configured for media (music and video recording). To set it up for games storage you just find the device in Settings >> System >>Storage Devices and press the menu button for more options. Reformat for Games/Apps. The only downside of this item is you will not be able to play Series X/S games from this device. Thats a limitation of external storage in general when used with Series hardware. They will have to be transferred back and forth to the internal SSD. However the transfer speeds from ssd to ssd is crazy fast, something like 3GB/sec. So its considerably faster than downloading games. You CAN play xbox one games straight from this device as well, and many games have different versions available so you can always download the xbox one version instead of the series x/s version to this device, and it would let you play it without transfer to the internal ssd.
