Pros: It reads on the computer just fine?
Cons: It doesn't work when connected to the XBOX - ever?
Overall Review: I don't get how this is useful if it can be detected by anything BUT the XBOX...
Pros: Small, silent & fast(for a USB powered HD). Great HD for your XB1 system.
Cons:
It does not bother me much, but the USB cable is really short. It may be a problem for some people.
The small LED light the keeps flashing in stanby, while the XB1 is turned off.
Overall Review: I recommend it at this price!
Pros:
-Connects and formats easily with Xbox One.
-Compact form factor.
-Sturdy case build and connection ports.
-Fairly quiet. I didn't hear it while sleeping and downloading games to the Xbox One.
Cons:
-The light stays blinking constantly, even when Xbox is turned off/standby. The light is a very bright blue, so if that will bother you while you're sleeping, you may want to put a sticker over it. (Xbox should consider a firmware update to turn off/on USB ports when powered down, but I understand that the power is constant in order to charge game controllers.)
-Comes with a short USB 3.0 cable, so you have to keep it near to device it is connected with. Maybe consider purchasing a longer cable separately to provide more versatility.
Overall Review:
Update: 3/12/2016. Drive is still going strong, despite always being in standby mode when the X-Box is turned "off" (standby). Unless I unplug the USB cord, the light stays blinking, but I placed a thick sticker of the LED.
I would recommend this to anyone. Although it is marketed as a peripheral for the Xbox One, it can be formatted for any computer system. I purchased for a great Black Friday price in November 2015. It's a decent hard drive, and since it has a WD Black 2TB HDD inside of it, I expect it to be reliable. Time will tell...
Pros: We've had a 2TB My Passport Ultra for about two years now and it's been great. I think this is the same drive. Ours has been plugged in and out of USB ports on several PCs and a laptop. It has stored general data, movies, music and more. Read and Write performance has been consistently good for a portable drive. Very slight vibration occurs when it spins up. It gets a little warm when transferring very large amounts of files but never enough to cause concern. In short, it's well made and reliable and it fits in your pocket.
Cons: none at the price
Overall Review: We have a portable SSD which is faster, but it won't hold nearly as much data as this WD.
Pros: Easy to use, plug and play on both CPU and game system.
Cons: N/A
Pros: small and quiet, runs cool, perfect for xbox one if it lasts
Cons: power light is next to usb cable.. would have been better located on the 'front'.
Overall Review: Shipping box too big with 2 deflated air 'pillows'. Come on, Newegg! This is a physical hard drive and shouldn't be bouncing around in the box. Ran WD diagnostics for a day just to make sure everything was OK before using.
Pros:
Works for everything a typical HDD does, not just games
Has "X" in the name, making it better than everything else
Has a WD Black drive inside, instead of a Blue or Green drive
Cons: Very short, uncommon cable
Overall Review: Unfortunate that they have to market high end drives as "gaming"

Pros: -Works
-Compact, light, portable, runs with one cable (no power cable required)
-Doesn't... not work
Cons: none
Overall Review: I've had this connected to my Linux server (Lubuntu) as an external hot-swappable backup drive for 2.5 years now. Every night the file share drive gets rsynced to this as a backup copy, and very month it gets swapped with an offsite drive and locked in a secure location. It works fine via USB 2.0, doesn't require a power cord, and survives occasional commutes. I might buy another one.
