I got the 1tb version from vipoutlet a while back when they were $32/pc.
If you shuck it and put it into an NVMe port it's slower than using the box. And you can't use the box for other NVMe ssds.

Community Reviews

This WD Black D30 2TB is best understood as a fast external Xbox storage drive that can also be shucked for NVMe use. It delivers strong USB performance, with reports around 867 to 921 MB per second over USB C and even higher speeds in faster enclosures or direct PCIe use. It works well for non Series Xbox games, cold storage, and secondary capacity, but the internal drive appears to be a WD SN350QE style part with QLC or low end behavior, including a steep drop after cache fills. That makes it less appealing for PC shucking or heavy write workloads, especially since some orders also hit checkout and pricing issues.

Common Questions (4)

  • It can reach around 867MB/s read and 921MB/s write over USB-C in Blackmagic, and some TB4 setups report about 2000MB/s read/write when the drive is empty. Direct PCIe/NVMe connection has also shown about 1800MB/s write, but sustained writes can fall sharply once cache is exhausted.

    pixelbenderThirstyCruzMagentaPlant7587MagentaPlant7587

  • The 2TB unit has been identified as a WDC SN350QE 2TB, and teardown reports point to a 2242 SanDisk drive with SN350/SN550 controller overlap. That makes it more of an OEM TLC/QLC-style internal SSD than a standard retail SN550.

    jlim0930MagentaPlant7587ThirstyCruz

  • It can work in a PC NVMe slot, but it is not a standout shuck candidate: reported sustained writes drop to about 150MB/s after the SLC cache fills, and some users say it is slower than a standard WD SN550. If you want a better PC drive, a separate NVMe purchase may be the safer choice.

    MagentaPlant7587glover.chris83noobcake

  • Yes. It is described as suitable for non-Series Xbox games and cold storage, and it is much faster than a SATA SSD for that role. It is best treated as secondary storage rather than an OS drive.

Based on the latest posts; the drive might be SN350QE.

WD Blue SN550E is a really good deal today. It would be a low end drive.

WD Green SN350QE is NOT a deal at any amount of money. It's a 100TBW drive which is lower than basement; I wouldn't recommend anyone use this drive, certainly not for shucking. If your Xbox need some storage, buy this as SSD prices are insane. If you are shucking this for a PC, don't do it, pay double for a decent drive instead.

Good deal. I bought the 1TB variant for $49.99 and it got sold out. This is great for non Series games, and cold storage in my opinion.
Same. I got two. The white one I paid $50, and for the black one, I paid $40. Both been good, but my WD Black P30 (or whatever) with 5TB died after very little use. No warranty left. Won't likely be buying another WD HDD despite the claim they're good and shit.

Can this be used just like another Drive without Xbox?
Yes. I believe you can even shuck it, and there's supposedly an NVMe drive inside it.

WTF?

Slower?
What is this shit with WD drives?

I'm getting really sour taste with their shenanigans. No SATA port on their WD Black P10 that failed, and now this?
