Good drive, lots of speed

Works as advertised. Plug and Play (well, plug in and download games THEN play). Reduces download times from internal drives and gives you an extra 500GB of storage in the age of digital downloads and GamePass. Best of all, it's solid-state so you don't have to worry about damaging moving parts, and the cable is built-in so you don't lose it when you're out gaming. It's a bit silly that some retailers charge more for this version of the drive than the standard non-Xbox-branded version. They are

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Weight

Not just for gaming

Seems to be a pretty decent portable SSD. Built-in cable is loved or hated - both views are valid. It turns out that the size of the drive is basically the same width and length as the Raspberry Pi's case. I like to experiment a lot with pis and extra storage space is great for that. I attached the velcro directly to the top of the case and it only added 3/4 inch of storage space. A new Raspberry Pi 4 with upgraded USB ports should be able to take advantage of the speeds this drive has to…

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Bad instructions

This is way better than I expected

Great stuff. Not only will this give you extra storage space, but any game installed on your hard drive will load faster, have less time between loading screens and be less taxing on your console! It's a bit pricey but worth every penny. My Xbox One kept turning on the fans, overheating and crashing when playing Fallout or Elder Scrolls with mods. But now when I boot it from the SSD, my console is silent, the game runs smoother and I haven't had a crash during gameplay yet! The investment is…

Pros
  • Goes with many
Cons
  • updates

Games keep getting bigger, but your storage space keeps shrinking.

I recently downloaded a new version which is one of the most popular games at the moment. The game, after all that was said and done, weighed in at over 120GB. A few days later I wanted to play it but I had to download an 8GB update just to keep playing and bring this game up to 128GB. After all that, I had to uninstall about 6 games, all of which I really liked, to install this behemoth. With the Xbone coming with a 500GB hard drive, this new SSD is a must have. Not only is your storage space…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Impressive download speed.

This is my first review of the WD 500GB Xbox One Game Drive and I will update when I use it. Packing: This WD 500GB Accelerated Game Drive for Xbox One was packed well. , a cardboard box with a very informative imprint everything I needed to know was easy to find inside the box in such a neat and organized design. The packaging was an eye-catcher, especially because it was designed with the XBOX theme in mind and every detail was printed on the box of this SSD, it was very easy to open…

Pros
  • Beautifully packaged
Cons
  • Compatibility

Reliable little drive: External SSDs

Gets the job done and quickly sets up for Xbox. I use this for games I play frequently for faster load times. PUBG loads almost instantly in games and actually feels smoother. I just wish the cable was a little longer, it can barely sit on the Xbox.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Quality

Very fast!: External SSDs

I ordered this external WD 500GB SSD game drive for my son who is an avid gamer. His favorite platform is PS4. Although this disc is labeled for Xbox One, it will also work on PS4. Or you can just use it to backup your computer files. This is a very small SSD that easily fits in the palm of your hand. This external drive is solid enough that I think it will take a few drops that will happen eventually. An SSD is not as prone to shock as older spinning drives. The outer casing is durable. Feels…

  • Best

Not just for gaming, gamers will appreciate the speed too!

This disc is very light but the construction is solid and strong. It comes with a USB cable that plugs into a special slot underneath the drive. A very handy fix for missing cords, but I'd take care of that as I don't see how to replace it. Not only is it compatible with Xbox, but it can be used with almost anything as external storage. Both PC and Mac. What is really impressive is the speed! I don't know what's behind it, but it's noticeably faster than any of my other drives. 500GB is a good…

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
