So while I was playing Gears of War Ultimate Edition, The Evil Within or Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition, I seriously could not tell the difference. While using this external drive on my XBox One, I noticed no slowdowns whatsoever and it seemed like the same speed as the internal hard drive. It’s also great that the drive supports USB 3.0 which the XBox One is compatible with and this means fast access in both write and read times. When this is done, the XBox One basically recognises this drive as part of its storage which means you can store all sorts of console goodness on the hard drive. Once there, the My Passport X will be available and then you select the drive to format as an XBox One compatible device. In terms of installation, once the drive is connected to your XBox One, you need to access your Storage Devices through System Setting. However where this product shines is through its installation which only takes a few minutes to setup on your XBox One console. According to Western Digital, the My Passport X allows gamers to store up to 50 XBox One games on this hard drive or 250 games on the 360. But once again, we believe that this is a console drive.Īlthough the unit is compatible with the XBox 360, we only tested this device on the XBox One which is probably the only console anyone really needs these days.

The only downside to the hard drive is that if you’re using it on the XBox and want to use it on a PC, you will need to reformat the drive so the PC can read it.

If you don’t use it as a console drive, it does make a great PC drive as well but it’s really an XBox One drive.

Apart from the drive itself, it also comes with a USB cable and a quick installation guide which describes how to get the My Passport X connected to your console. One thing that you may notice about the My Passport X is its design that screams gamer and more importantly, it’s quite small. Plus, no separate power supply is necessary.

Anywhere, Anytime: Take your gaming titles wherever you want.The drive also retails for around $199AUD (August 2015). It’s definitely a great time to be a gamer and with so many accessories available for both the PC and the XBox One, my editor sent me Western Digital’s new My Passport X Gaming Storage hard drive to review that easily allows you to expand your console or PC’s capacity thanks to its 2TB hard drive and USB 3.0 technology. If someone told me that the XBox One would exist back then, I would have probably laughed in their faces but it’s quite amazing at how things have changed and virtual reality is just around the corner… wow! I’ve been a gamer since the 80’s and over the last three decades, the gaming landscape has changed considerably.
