Necessity for any Xbox One owners

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2015

Capacity: 2TBStyle: Xbox OnePattern Name: SingleVerified Purchase

Anyone who owns an Xbox One can attest to the irritation of having to install every game you want to play on the hard drive that comes with very limited space. This is the perfect answer to keep adding games to your collection without having to either sweat it out over which games live or die on your hard drive or play russian roulette with your currently installed games to make room for a new one. With 2 TB of space added on, I can comfortable install all my games with plenty of room to spare. This page, and other reviewers, said that after you plugged in the external drive that the Xbox One detected it and put instructions on the screen to follow so you could use it. I did not get this prompting and had to suss out how to manually set up the drive:

1. Press Menu (start) and select “Settings”
2. Select “Manage Storage”
3. Select the storage device and select “Format for Games and Apps”

After the formatting is done, you can go to the Games and Apps area and (hopefully) notice a lovely 2 TB increase to your space. You can use the “Manage Game” function to move games to and fro the local and external drives. When installing, you can select the external as your primary installation destination.

My BIG SAVE!!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2018

Capacity: 2TBStyle: Xbox OnePattern Name: SingleVerified Purchase

For a while I was getting worried about having to buy a new console for more storage. I looked around and found the WD 2TB My Passport X for Xbox One Portable External Hard Drive. The reviews were great, I ordered and kept my fingers crossed. I’m very pleased to say, that this was a very great buy on Amazon and worth every penny. The set-up was so easy, just followed the instructions my Xbox One gave me and POOOOF…..mo…mo…storage! Update, I recently sold my Xbox but kept the hard drive to use on my PC, works perfectly! 🙂

Excellent drive. Worth the money. For traditional hard drives. I believe WD (Western Digital) makes a nice drive.

Very nice drive and durable. I bought this for my Xbox one to add more storage to it. I have approximately 150 games installed with about 830 GB left on it. And all the games I have on it are Xbox 1 games. The size of the games do vary. I have roughly 20 to 30 at least that are 40 GB+. I have a separate external hard drive my Xbox 360 backwards compatible games. So that way when I go over to my friends house and plug my external into their system. I know which games are where. I do this for the fact of it being easier. 2. I don’t have to worry about transferring games from internal Xbox 1 drive to my external. I just grab and go. 3 reason it saves the life on my internal hard drive. And won’t have to worry about it where out soon. It’s easier to replace an external drive versus an internal. Since you can’t change it your self.

P.S. I know I have a lot games. And yes I do have a life. A lot of these games I got since it’s been Xbox 1 has been out. And most of them I got for free through Xbox live games with gold. So instead of uninstalling and reinstalling games all the time. I figured it would be easier to just buy a big external drive and install all the games. So that way if one my friends that are online want to play that game. I can join them.

works great on my ps4

2 months in, works great on my ps4. I would recommend turning off your ps4 if you have to move the ps4 or the external hdd as it does disconnect very easily. Minus half a star for that but I’ll err on the side of generosity and say 5 stars.

Game storage is Critical, WD is Reliable.

What more can I say than having enough space for all your games is exactly what you buy this for. The best part is that you don’t have to spend time or bandwidth re-downloading games with this portable drive because you didn’t have enough space. I haven’t used it for this but you can take the drive with all your games to play them on someone else’s machine without downloading them there also. With games becoming more and more space intensive, the internal storage is grossly inadequate and the need for portable increases. I own 2 of these as I have almost 7 Terabytes of game data on the XBOX One alone. I have trusted WD to store my valuable for more than 15 years.

I bought this for my PS4 pro and what a neat little piece of tech. Once I plugged it in to my PS4 it prompted to format it for extended storage and the process literally took less then 10 seconds. I now have 3TB of total storage for my PS4 pro. Great product that was delivered in 2 days from the time I purchased it.

Buying this for a external drive for PS4 or a media drive you need to READ THIS ! Thank me later 😎

Great drive works for ps4 straight out the box no formatting needed if you want to use as a external drive for extra hdd for your ps4 just plug into your ps4 and select format as extended storage but you can’t use it as a media drive after that it’s stuck as a ps4 drive no worries if that’s what you wanted but I wanted a media drive guaranteed to be read by the ps4 had a lot of bad experiences with cheap Chinese drives that wouldn’t even format to ex fat so much waste of money not this drive though if you wanted this as media drive for videos music etc. your computer won’t read the hdd straight away you need to rename the drive and give it a letter then the computer will recognise this as a hdd then you can drag and drop till your hearts content so glad this works just gotta know which videos types the ps4 can play and it’s happy days watching red dwarf in HD on my 62” LG tv through my ps4 could just connect it to my tv both work without a glitch will buy another next month and set it up as a external drive for my ps4 could 5 star this enough past experiences tainting my opinion slightly but very good drive fast transfer rates and does what it says on the tin nice

Does it’s job

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 11, 2019

Capacity: 2TBStyle: PS4Pattern Name: SingleVerified Purchase

Does what you’d expect it to. After having a bad experience with Samsung and Seagate hard drives in the past WD has never let me down and I chose to go for this one. Initially I did have some issues. Plugged it into the PS4 only to be told not compatible and must be USB 3.0 only which had me feeling I was ripped off! Turns out the PS4 has two different types of USB ports. Plugged it into the correct slot and once formatted (in about 30secs) was ready to use. Easy to set up. 2Tb more than enough and at that price it’s cheaper than others. Only reason I have given it 4 stars is because the Transfer rate is a bit slow and a very bright LED light is a bit unpleasant at night.

No Matter the Explanation It’s Shady!

When installing this item we come to find that 185 gigs is missing!!!!! … holy crap that’s a lot!!!! and while it’s not illegal to screw people out of like 3-4 phones worth of memory, it should be.

You charge people a crap ton of money to then screw them out of the memory they paid for.

If you advertise 2TB it should be 2TB not 1.84, that’s crap and I won’t buy again and neither should you.

Doesn’t seem right that this is continuously allowed to happen to consumers and no one will stand up and put a stop to it.

Bought this for my PS4 and after the required PS4 formatting, works like a dream. Completely silent and compact. It saves automatically now and you probably never have to unplug it once plugged in. Really happy with the purchase

My firat external hardrive, the 2TB option i purchased. I have had it a day i must say for the PS4 it took a minute to set up and works well with the ps4 and is very straight forward to use.

If youre querying getting one i recommend this massively it is tiny, easy to use and now i hav 2 TB of memory instead of 400gb my ps4 has.

Although just so you aware before using it leave abit of space on your ps4 harddrive as saved game data and some updates will save there.
