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.

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.

You can read for info here, people were buying these around Sept 2025 and confirmed SN350QE: https://forums.redflagd
Based on research, these are not Green QLC. They're OEM TLC NAND, flashed with SN350QE generic OEM firmware, since it uses same controller as retail SN350. TBW suggests it's 1200TBW for 2TB (that would be nice). **My own experience. I moved 1.25TB over to the drive and HWInfo said health was still 100%. If it was 100TBW, i would have expected 99-98%
health.

health.
I'm guessing the percentage used counter is tied to something other than the actual data units written but instead the internal health of the NAND. If the drive was initially empty and 1.25TB were written to it then your WAF would be very low and it'd likely only result in a single PE cycle.
