Revainrating 2 out of 5

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT TO USE IT AS AN EXTERNAL SSD FOR YOUR XBOX. All around very deceptive. First, the hard drive won't work at the advertised transfer rate because it uses USB 3.2, not 3.0 like the Xbox One supports, so you're already limited. They don't mention it in any of their misleading descriptions. But the biggest problem is that I bought it and it broke after just a few weeks. To make matters worse, it happened yesterday, the day after my returns window closed. So now I'm stuck with this POS that deleted/corrupted the games I installed on it and there's nothing I can do about it. Even when I used it, it sucked as it often went into a mode that I can only describe as "fuck off, I don't want to be it now". PER. NO. BECAUSE. I thought it was hibernation but there is no way to turn it off. Even if you actively play with it, the area you are in is already loaded into memory and the system does not actively access the disk, it just shuts down. SAVE ENERGY?! It's an SSD. How much electricity do you need?! This is bullshit and I sincerely hope the creators will see that. I AM VERY VERY UNHAPPY I PAID FOR THIS MISS SSD. As for the stars, I find it odd that Revain only asks about the fingerprint reader, weight, and portability. yes it is portable But so is the brick. This makes this POS no more functional than a brick. MAKE. NO. TO BUY. THE!

Pros
  • INCREDIBLY FASTER STORAGE: Up to 1050MB/s read / 1000MB/s write. Transfers files almost 9.5X faster than hard drives
Cons
  • Got corrupted
