WD_Black 1TB C50 Storage Expansion Card, Officially Licensed for Xbox – Quick Resume, Plug & Play, NVMe SSD Expansion for Xbox Series X|S Gaming Consoles - WDBMPH0010BNC-WCSN

The WD_Black 1TB C50 Storage Expansion Card has been working flawlessly for me. Setup was quick and painless—plug it in and it’s immediately ready to use. Performance has been excellent, with fast load times and smooth gameplay that feels no different from internal storage. The 1TB capacity is a great size, giving plenty of room for larger games without constantly juggling installs. For the performance and convenience it offers, the price point feels reasonable, especially compared to other expansion options.

This was a gift to my son who has both an Xbox Series S and Series X. They installed this in their Series X and after answering a single on-screen question, it was ready to go. Gone are the days of loading games off an external hard drive, or swapping out multiple drives to remember which drive had which game. It all fits on this expansion card and they are super happy now. The cost is a bit higher than a typical NVME style external SSD, but the quick resume and plug-and-play nature make it worth the cost. It looks great and is very durable with no cords for the cats to chew on. You can't go wrong with this drive!

As someone who constantly juggles game installs on my Xbox Series X, this WD storage expansion has been a lifesaver. After six months of use, I can confidently say it delivers exactly what it promises – seamless extra storage without compromising performance. - Plug-and-play simplicity – recognized by my Xbox instantly with no setup needed - Identical performance to the internal SSD – games load just as fast - Compact design stays flush with the console (no ugly protrusions) - 1TB capacity lets me keep 10-15 AAA games installed simultaneously - Reliable heat management – never gets hot even during 8-hour gaming sessions Considerations: - The price per GB is steep compared to regular external HDDs (but you're paying for the speed) - Only works with Xbox Series X|S (can't repurpose it as a general-use drive) - White version shows dust more than the black console I primarily use it for: 1) Keeping Call of Duty and other huge games permanently installed 2) Quickly swapping between Game Pass titles without waiting for downloads 3) Storing next-gen optimized games that require SSD speeds If you're tired of uninstalling games to make space, this is the only storage solution that keeps the full Xbox Series X experience intact. While not cheap, it's eliminated my storage anxiety completely.

If you're looking to instantly expand your Xbox Series X|S storage without sacrificing speed or performance, look no further than the WD_Black 2TB C50 Expansion Card. This thing is a total game-changer. Installation was ridiculously simple—plug it into the expansion slot and you're done. No formatting, no extra steps. My Xbox recognized it immediately, and I was able to move and launch games from it in seconds. The performance is identical to the internal SSD. I’ve played demanding titles like Forza Horizon 5 and Starfield directly from the C50 with zero lag or load time issues. It’s basically like giving your console a second internal drive. Also, 2TB is a huge upgrade. I used to juggle space constantly—delete one game to install another. Now, I’ve got dozens of AAA titles installed and still have room left over. Pros: Plug-and-play simplicity Blazing fast performance (just like the internal drive) Compact, sleek design Officially licensed for Xbox – no compatibility worries

Trying to be more diligent about writing reviews to help people. So here what I wanted to know before I bought that I found out after ordering. Very easy to use, sleek black design, almost completely disappears once plugged in right. Easy to carry around with the little case it comes with. Worked for my wife’s Xbox series s flawlessly, expanding the storage to 1T. Now the important stuff. Every ssd and had I’ve bought, have been utterly useless. I wanted to be able to play my games, not just store them to have to constantly move them around. This little stick, easy to connect into the back of the console, has changed the game. It’s entirely x/s compatible. And by that I mean it will run whatever game you put in it. Unlike other devices that cannot run modern series x/s games, this has zero problem running it. Used it to run Diablo 4, call of duty, GTA online, it works for all the big titles the competition can only dream of. You literally just plug it in, and it’s ready to use as if it was just your console. One gamer to another, take the leap. I wouldn’t even stop here, get the 1T version, really max out your fun!!!!!

Just plug it in and you're good to go. It's super simple and easy to use. It runs at the same speed as the internal storage which means it runs all games just fine. When you plug it in the Xbox will ask if you plan to use it on just one device or if you plan to move it between consoles. Not sure what difference it makes but if you plan on moving it around just make sure you select the right option I guess.

Product exactly as described, arrived in 1 day, appears to be Unopened or resealed. Literally plug & play. The speed matches the internal Xbox X drive, & games load pretty quick. Highly recommended

good👍

Prodotto perfettamente compatibile come promesso con la mia Xbox Series X. La memoria viene riconosciuta in autonomia dalla console e, senza fare assolutamente nulla, espande automaticamente lo spazio di memoria interna su cui installare i giochi ottimizzati per Series X/S. Infatti se si utilizza un disco esterno USB, i giochi installati su memoria esterna possono essere eseguiti solo se nella versione "vecchia" (quelli senza il log X|S sopra l'icona, per intenderci). Quindi per eseguire i giochi recenti/ottimizzati si è obbligati a trasferirli su memoria interna. Con questa espansione si espande la memoria interna, quindi tutti i giochi vengono eseguiti immediatamente. Il prezzo base è piuttosto caro, anche se meno della controparte Seagate, ma se preso in offerta come l'ho trovato io è un must have, altrimenti si rischia di avere la memoria interna della console piena con 4 o 5 giochi di ultimissima generazione, che ormai superano anche abbondantemente i 100Gb di memoria richiesta

Améliore grandement la capacité de stockage de la Xbox série s
