DO NOT BUY FOR SERIES X

Nothing against Western Digital, the product itself looks very cool and is a good price for a 1TB SSD. This is a blow to Microsoft because it's lame with the x-series operating systems. This prevents me from using this device to play games as it is "not formatted". They want you to pay $220 for the same amount of storage on their licensed Seagate expansion card, so shame on them. I hope that in the future it will be solved and it will be possible to use it. Unfortunately this seems to work for…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • So so

Easy to set up and works well with PS5

Works as advertised. I still think it's a bit pricey, but it's lightweight, easy to use, and works seamlessly with PS5 if you don't mind spending a few extra bucks.

Pros
  • Special Offer
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance

Best External NVME for Console

Read speed is perfect for consoles as they only have USB 3.1 ports so it limits the data they can transfer to around 900-1000MB per second are, so D30s 900 MB / With. Read speed is ideal for consoles

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Works as intended (PS5)

So if anyone has any qualms about pulling the trigger on this item, don't do it, it definitely works! I had a few PS4 games taking up space on my PS5, I needed some space so moving them around was a breeze. Works again or works for me. hope you have the same experience.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Great storage for computer and accessories

Price…. You would think that a solid state drive would be cheaper these days. However, it is amazing and supports all my games. Now only time will tell how long it will last. Definitely worth more than the Xbox Sea Gate

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Bad set
