The 4TB WD HDD actually rode the SSDвЂ™s tail just slightly, showing it wasnвЂ™t as quick in load times as the SSD by a number of seconds (varies by game), but quite noticeably faster than Xbox OneвЂ™s internal drive. Loading games from the external SSD is so much faster than the internal drive. Loading games from Xbox OneвЂ™s normal internal drive can be a bit slow. Normally, we have a 500GB SanDisk SSD on the Xbox for performance purposes, so we expected this one not to come close. We then through the drive on an Xbox One to see how well it fares there. This highly depends on various things such as the type of media you are moving around (file size, quantity of files, etc), the source drive and your computerвЂ™s USB 3.0 bus quality.

We have experienced read speeds of up to 120+ MBps and write speeds of up to 100+ MBps while using the drive. Pretty simple, as it doesnвЂ™t require any wall power or any additional cables. There is a micro-USB 3.0 type B M/M connector to your typical USB 3.0 type A cable that connects it to your computer with. It features an all-plastic enclosure with small little rubber feet on the bottom to keep it from sliding around. YouвЂ™d never ask yourself again if you have enough space to take something mobile to share it with something else. The drive itself is pretty small as youвЂ™d expect, allowing you to easily slide it into your pocket like your favorite smartphone. Originally, we thought the 2TB Ultra was a good aspect for such a use, but 4TB of space gives you plenty enough room for all of your favorite games, youвЂ™re not so favorite games and the ability to pretty much download whatever the heck youвЂ™d like to beyond that, including all of those free monthly games Xbox Live Gold members can get their hands on. Small drives and lots of space leads to a lot of gameplay. We recently brought the latest Ultra drives into the spotlight when we ran a quick story about the best options for external drives and Xbox One.

Cross Compatible USB 3.Another entry in the worldвЂ™s vast selection of large capacity drives, we finally got our hands on Western DigitalвЂ™s 4TB My Passport Ultra USB 3.0 hard drive.
