    WD_BLACK 2TB D30 ?


    Hi,

    I'm wanting to buy some extra storage for my series x and wondered if anyone has experience of the WD_BLACK 2TB D30 ? It seems fairly cheap compared to other similar storage size products.

    Thanks

    :)

    I would still consider an external SSD, perhaps 1TB. Then you can move the games you aren't playing to this drive, and move them back if you want to play them again. Much faster than redownloading them.

    I have Crucial MX500 2TB SSD inside a drive enclosure connected to my Series X.

    Unfortunately the WD_BLACK D30 can't be used to play Series X games directly from the drive. Despite this drive being an SSD, it only connects via USB and is thus too slow for Series X optimised games. You can only archive them. You can only play Xbox One games directly from such a drive.

    If you've got loads of Xbox One games or BC Xbox 360/Original Xbox games it might be worth purchasing one. These games will load a lot faster on such a drive.

    The only way to play Series X games on additional storage is either the Expansion card by Seagate or the WD's own Expansion card called the WD_BLACK C50

    Thanks for the replay, I'm only interested in buying my games digitally so your answer to my question was spot on. I think as the D30 is not suited to my needs I am probably going to go down the alternative route of getting super fast fibre and have a download, play, delete & repeat mentality. Thanks.

    Okay please read the whole paragraph before reply, this issue is very funky and specific.

    Glad my experience matches what you’re having too. I also have the same setup on 2 Xbox One X system and 2 seperate HDTV setup. 1- 8TB Seagate PSU, 1-5TB HDD WD_BLACK USB power, 1- 2TB SSD WD_BLACK USB power. One set is hooked up on 75” 8K LG and the
    other is 65” 4K XBR. I’ll keep on eye for your update. Post notification is on.
