One of the pain of woning an is having a ton of games and getting close to the 500 GB storage limit. There is the option of opening up the console and swapping it out for a larger storage drive, but that takes a lot of time and some skill — plus it voids your warranty. Noit a good thing at all. Today Western Digital announced an external hard drive just for the Xbox one gamer who needs more space!
The My Passport X features USB 3.0 and a whopping 2 TB of storage. The large amount of space should be ample room for a number of titles; paired with the 500 GB of in-console storage, it gives you a total of 2.5 TB. You can also choose to install your favorite games on the My Passport X, so you can bring it to a friend’s house and play titles on their Xbox One without having to reinstall it on their system.
You would expect the drive to work on most computers and consoles, but the drive isn’t compatible with the PlayStation 4 because the file structure in the My Passport X isn’t compatible with Sony’s console.
Considering the amount of money spent on the console plus multiple games, the My Passport X is a relatively inexpensive buy at $139 and save you the pain of far from fun game of install and reinstall.
