It may seem overpriced, but given it just slots right in and runs fast enough to have Series X version of games able to play from it (which is only available on internal storage) then it’s worth every penny.
Game sizes grow each year so having this has made my life easier.
If you have a series X/S and struggle for space, then this is the card for you.

I’m using this drive to store various large files that are then portable between various systems. I’ve so far written just over 7 TB to it. The drive performs well and I’ve found it relatively quiet (when flat rather than upright in the provided cradle when there is then some vibration noise) in operation. I personally like the ridges and WD_Black / Xbox markings as it looks a bit more interesting than the usual ‘black box’ kind of external drive.

Bought for series x. I inserted it and was recognised but when i moved a game across from the internal drive and tried to play it. It said error and drive too weak. I noticed the speed of transfer was just over 3gb per second which must be too slow. I tried reinserting it and still the same. I then tried powering off the xbox from the mains for a minute and when i tried it again it worked and the transfer speed had gone up to over 5gb per second. I also pushed it in harder. Its working fine now but ive knocked a star off for the initial problems. Has anyone else experianced this?

Was able to buy this on sale for $128, which is an “ok” price for the added storage amount -much better than before when only Seagate was selling them. Super simple install…truly plug-n-play. Provides some sorely needed storage space for new games and allowed me to move all my older games from external storage to internal for faster loading, etc. The product seems fairly rugged and so far has performed well, but I’ve only had it for about a month, so time will tell.

I recently purchased the WD_Black 1TB C50 Storage Expansion Card for my Xbox Series X, and I must say it has been a game-changer in terms of storage convenience. The ease of use is one of its standout features. All I had to do was plug it into the dedicated expansion slot on my Xbox Series X, and it was instantly recognized and ready to use. No complicated setup or lengthy installations — it was truly a plug-and-play experience.

What really impressed me, though, is that this storage expansion card matches the speed of the internal SSD in my Xbox Series X. I was worried that an external drive might compromise load times and game performance, but with the C50, I noticed no difference at all. Games load just as quickly as they do from the internal storage, and I can seamlessly switch between titles without missing a beat.

The 1TB capacity is a significant boost to my storage capacity, allowing me to maintain a vast library of games without constantly juggling which ones to keep installed. This has improved my gaming experience, especially in a world where game file sizes keep growing.

Overall, the WD_Black 1TB C50 Storage Expansion Card has made expanding my Xbox Series X’s storage a breeze. Its ease of use and matching internal SSD speed make it a no-brainer for anyone looking to enhance their gaming experience without sacrificing performance. It’s been a great addition to my setup, and I highly recommend it to fellow Xbox gamers.

-Facile utilis.
-Rapide taux de transferts entre le ssd interne de la xbox series vers celui-ci.
-920 go de disponible en tout.

J’espre seulement qu’il y aura aucun problme avec le temps.
part a il fait son taf.

s plugar no xbox, e o desempenho igual ao do SSD interno. Recomendo para quem no gosta de jogar na nuvem e quer manter os jogos instalados, o preo poderia melhorar com o tempo pois um acessrio um pouco caro.

WD is the way I went to extend my wife’s Xbox S capacity. The other option was Seagate.
Never choose Seagate!
Seagate drives I have had in the past have: swollen (onboard battery issue), stopped for no good reason, never started for no good reason, and are just a big pile of shite.
I would never use Seagate again, even to the point of using an external drive to store the games on and swapping between drives when my wife wanted to play something else, until WD joined the Xbox expansion party.
The WD expansion is nice and light, well made, plugs into the back and is ready to go.
You get a little cover for the connection end, if you ever decide to remove the storage stick and take it with you, and it appears to be reasonably sturdy.
All in all, it’s good value for money.

Who: Average Joe (my name’s not Joe… Or is it)

What: 5tb 2.5 inch WD Black up to 130mbs

Where: My home, garden and space… I wish

When: Monday 28th August 23:44

Why: To back up old games from GOG and Retail copies for archives

Is it worth it… Yes, if you want a simple back up drive for that sole reason alone, transfer or copy to a faster drive. You are no way going to get SSD, NVME or even top of the line Micro SD card speeds, dream on.

It’s a simple cheap drive packed in a nice looking enclosure; reminds of a shipping container that got sat on.

In truth, you would be better of buying a 2.5 inch enclosure and buying a secondhand or new drive off eBay.

Works for me and my needs.

P.S I say you could play older titles off of it… But newer ones will struggle.
