What versions are there? I see one labeled gen 1. Is there a gen 2?
I thought these came with a USB-C cabe. It doesn't specify.
It specifies System Requirements and lists game consoles and Win but not Linux.
Isn't it a storage drive that can be used as any other storage drive for anything?
Does it come with software or security?
The last time this came around, it had the same HDD in it the My Passport has in it.
On Series S/X you can run XBox One games off an external drive but not S/X versions of games. Would be retarded to use this slow drive on an XBox Series S/X.

but it doesn't matter most HDDs don't even max out SATA 2.0 (300MB/s) so USB 3.1 is plenty (rest is marketing). this is the generic version game drive - not the XBox (includes 1-mo of XBU).
it does have a 3-YR wty which may make it more suitable for games.

A side note, this limitation is not on the Xbox Series S/X as there is an external proprietary expansion slot that provides the needed speed.

which honestly I'd rather have almost anything else. Like Mini B. Or obviously C. I think these are all formatted exfat and work in anything. Bunch of marketing.
It's another cable to carry if you use it on the go, but I've never found carrying one additional short cable to be a burden. I usually carry portable hard drives in a small protective case which usually has space/pocket for the small cable, anyway.
