They're identical.

EasyStore is a Best Buy exclusive name meant only to provide the one difference you need to price match: identical skus.

They've done this with a lot of their products since the late 90s, in order to lock people out of price match situations.

Yes and no. You can use it as a back up drive for Series S and X games but you cannot play them from this drive- it is too slow. But . . . You can install backwards compatible games for the One, 360, etc. and play those directly from the drive. The one benefit is not having to download a Series S/X game again. You can move them back and forth much quicker than most people can download them. Hope that helps you.

How much is this drive normally? I was looking at these drives at BestBuy a couple weeks ago and the list price seems inflated.

From what I've read, Easystore and Elements are essentially the same thing, Easystore is an Bestbuy only line.

I have this drive and it's great. I use it as a media drive for my TV. I don't bother with Netflix or Hulu or any crap like that. I download the tv shows and movies I want to watch and put it on this drive. Transfer speeds between an mvme drive and this are about 75 Mbps using a USB c connection.

Since I know that these are not shckable, I would go for the Costo deal this month for a Seagate 5tb for $90.. I cant say that those are shuckable either these days, so I guess it is just a mater of price and Costco has pretty good return warranty policies. I base this price on a thread started about this months costco flyer here a SD.

Dont have a costco membership? I bet you know someone who does. I read somewhere that if you are "gifted" a Costco GC, you can go in and purchase your self, no membership required... If I only knew that a month ago I could have saved my membership. It was my first and ony trip in to a Costco in at least a decade.. I think I will buy about 20 $5 GC and let my membership go when it renews next November. Just use one of the $5 GC and pay the rest OOP (12 trips for $60 ($5 x 12 = $60 ) the same cost of a yearly membership). That should cover me for years..
