Purchase a Samsung SSD 500GB 850 EVO from ebay on the cheap to use with my xbox. Worth it, games load so much faster! Battlefield 1 with it's big maps would take a good minute or two to load, now I'm the first one in the map!

    I think you can use any USB 3.0 drive and that should work fine. This is complete waste of money.

        Jay, 02 Nov 2016Pssssh... I bought xbox seagate prior gen model 2TB for 50!... moreThis is different then a normal hard drive a SSD makes game load
        times lower. If you look you can see a SSD cutting game load times sometimes by 50% so even if its only half a terabyte its worth it if you want faster load times on your games and extra storage as well.

          JCNouel, 02 Nov 2016I don't want to be negative about the product, I'm just cur... morei dont own an xbox so i'm not sure..but you can't maybe transfer your games to any hard disk?? i'm just shooting in the dark here

            Anonymous, 02 Nov 2016Dont trust Seagate/WDD with either their HDD/SDD..... They ... morei have owned/ used hard disks from most fo these brands..the failure rate of all of them are about the same..tests may have different values..but in real life, i have gotten the maximum value for money with WD...i have a total of 9tb running on WD..and 1tb on samsung, and the drive that sometimes fails to load is the samsung one...on ssds...i use a corsair ssd..so not much to talk on that..but most high capacity hdd inside prebuilt pcs come from seagate or toshiba interchangeably depending on OEM..that said..lenovo is bad..

              AnonD-504401, 02 Nov 2016"Unlike the PS4, the Xbox One does not come with a user rep... morehe obviously meant that sony supports the user replacing the hard disk themselves...afaik xbox should not be opened by us without losing warranty

                  Dont trust Seagate/WDD with either their HDD/SDD..... They now are purposely making low quality high chance of fail drives to make customer buy and buy and buy, better go for Hitachi/Toshiba drives that have better Quality build and longer life. Kingston/Samsung/Sandisk/etc. are okay too.

                      "Unlike the PS4, the Xbox One does not come with a user replaceable internal drive"

                      What on earth? I own the old Xbox One as well as the new Xbox One S and you can replace the internal Hard Drive on both fairly easily.....

                                I don't want to be negative about the product, I'm just curious. Why would I buy this external storage "Designed for Xbox One" instead of any other compatible SSD?
