If you're backing stuff up this is a great drive. If you're using it for something like Plex, this is a great drive.
If you're editing video or using a NAS, I'd avoid it.

I apologize for my ignorance but what do you mean by saying these are smr drives and its okay if you're not doing alot of writing? I understand it could be alot to write so I'll simplify my question: is this a good drive for storing movies to watch off my xbox one x?

That should be fine. SMR drive technology allows for tighter and overlapping tracts, increasing storage density. This comes as a cost of poor write performance, especially if you have to over-write. Its better to think of these drives as for archiving - write occasionally and read many times, rather than a scratch disk where many files are being written over and over.
You're obviously not entering the codes mentioned.
I'm also looking for one for Xbox one

Tempted to pick up another one.
Rats, the coupon expired on Wednesday, good only two days.
But I was able to apply my $10 Staples Rewards in my account to bring it down another $10.
