It looks cool, has good quality materials, and is simple to use. I didn’t test it to check maximum data transfer speed, but I copied data from my iMac to this SSD drive then from it to my PC. And in both cases, the drive could deal with the maximum data transfer speed of the disks in my iMac (~300-350 MB/s) and PC (~400-450 MB/s). So, I believe it can work at the maximum speed of 900 MB/s, but there was no case to check data transfer speed between high-speed disks (this drive and another one).

Reasonable, fast, easy to use, and seems durable. I left it formatted in exFat, as it comes, and pass it around between my Mac and Windows systems because moving a terabyte of pictures on the network is a total pain. This drive rides to the rescue!

Amazing product: Installation on XBOX series X took seconds. The console immediately recognized the drive. Games load very quickly and it is hard to feel a difference compared to games installed in the internal memory. Great value for money. The product arrived in Israel within a few days in proper packaging. The purchase process and updates about the shipping status are quick and clear. Excellent service !

It’ll still operate on NEXT GEN like other SSD for Xbox One. But can’t access quick resume and other features like other SSD’s for XBox one. SAYS IT IN #4 OF “DISCLOSURES” READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE COMPLAINING FOLKS!!!

why has there not been a cable developed that can take the place of the xbox expansion card to plug this drive into the series X’S. I have a hard time believing that the only way to make that expansion port work is to use an over priced expansion card from Seagate. i understand using SSD is quicker than convantional HDD but this is an SSD drive meaning it should have the same speed as the expansion card. develope a cable that can be used to connect SSD drives like this to the xbox series X’S.
