Don't waste your time/money on this item please!
Not for Optimized Series X/S Games!! Only works for other games. It’s not fast enough to play from, expansion card is best bet.

The only thing I Don’t like about these is the fact that you cannot store and play XBoX series X games on the drive. Just older ones will store and
You’ll be able to play them from external drive location.

This is a waste of money because on any other platform you can get a better hard drive for less and use it for more different things... But this is Xbox so...
I'd rather have a spinning hard drive on a PC than have an NVMe on an Xbox never mind a different SSD.
You could probably buy a PC which might be used in last generation but it's still wholy capable, with the ...

Unreliable, wasted money! Lost important data!
I backed up my items. Everything was fine. Drive sat without any issues. Needed my backup and drive does t register at all. Sp much for a backup. Worse, its 3 years old (tho used only to create a backup. So how is that data protection?)

The best hard drive ive owned ever!
This hard drive may be a little noisy when seeing the games you have in the library or when playing certain games but other than that its not bother some at all, to me at least. Fast as heck to i can get transfer speeds on my xbox series x almost to 2.0 Gbps. Charging ports are great as i use it for the headset and headphones to charge up with and is really a great prod...

Don't buy this! You will lose all of your data!
It won't turn on after less than 2 months of having it. No option listed to return. Tried to contact customer support but they weren't open. Please, whatever you do, don't buy this item. It's not worth the savings in cost to lose all of your data.

Response from Staples :
Hello, We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. Current drive technology dictates that some noise will occur during normal drive operation. The type and volume of noise is dependent on whether the drive is performing a read/write operation or idle with the heads parked. The environment where the drive is functioning may also influence noise. For example, loose drive mounts, fan noise from case ventilation or power supply, and where the enclosure is placed or mounted may produce or enhance the noise heard. It is important to recognize which noises indicate trouble or normal drive operation. Please allow us to make it correct for you. You could raise a On-line support ticket on the given link, the Online support team get back to you in a earliest possible time .

Would highly recommend.
Works great. Easy to set up with Xbox Series X. Does not take up too much space. Do not risk running out of storage for your games.

Super CoooL look, sturdy case, and WOW performance! I'm averaging about 1.8 Gbps data transfer on XBOX Series X... nearly twice as fast as my standard spinny drives on the same platform. Drive can be configured for use on multiple XBOX devices and your console will prompt you to choose configuration on initial setup. Game play direct from this drive is flawlessly smoot...

Speedy with Large Capacity
This is a great addition to the Xbox Series X. Although games enhanced for the console need to be installed to the internal HDD and/or a Seagate Expansion Card, it's nice to have them saved locally.

Nice
It would be nice for a power saving function or if turned off when the Xbox turned off.

12TB at a Value price!!!
Worth the price!!! My previous WD External HDD had died after four years of hardcore gaming and gaming storage… It was time for an upgrade with more and more games coming as digital downloads to consoles.

Good drive, very fast for an HDD.
Plenty of storage for all my Xbox One and Xbox 360 games while still loading fairly fast. I also use it to keep Series X/S games I'm not currently playing where it can be transferred to the SSD much faster than it could be downloaded.
