Review Text: Fast, Solid Expansion for Series X/S. Right out of the box, the drive is ready to use. I'm connecting to a Xbox Series X console, and once plugged in using the included USB cable, the Xbox recognized the drive and asks if you want to use it for game data, or media data (like pictures, songs, etc.) I'm using mine for game data, so after one click of the button, the drive was ready to use. The drive has a very minimal footprint, super small compared to standard non-NVME external drives of the same storage capacity. The speed of the drive is outstanding, I was able to move/copy/save game data of multiple GBs from my internal drive to the WD drive and back again at blazing fast transfer speeds. One thing you need to understand, is that you cannot play Series X games directly from this drive. The Series X will only "Play" games from its internal drive or from the official Xbox expansion drives that use the same architecture. A drive like this is perfect for storing your apps or older games. You can also play your older games directly from this drive, and in some cases I find the performance is actually better. I was playing Mortal Kombat XL and NASCAR Heat 5 directly from this drive, and I found the load up and wait times were shorter compared to playing directly from the internal drive. I also found that running apps directly from this drive seem to do the same, shorter load times, so bonus!!!
