The specifications of the Seagate Game Drive for Xbox 2TB
As the product name already suggests, you get a hard drive with 2 terabytes of storage space. If that is not enough, you can also choose a version with 4 terabytes. The drive, which communicates internally via SATA, comes in a 2,5-inch form factor and offers the following features:
- 2 or 4 TB storage
- Up to 5 Gbps speed
- Power supply via USB

The game console immediately takes care of setting up the Game Drive. Great: A USB 3.0 cable is already included. We found the length of 46 cm to be sufficient.
Everyday use of the Seagate Game Drive for Xbox 2TB
We didn't notice any drop in speed when playing games compared to the hard drive built into the Xbox One. This is probably due to the fast connection via USB 3.0. The device worked as described immediately and without problems. Also worth mentioning is the fact that you can install games that are on the Seagate GameDrive located on another Xbox.
The drive is also compatible with the Xbox One S, but not the very first Xbox. We also found the design to be great, which goes really well with Microsoft's game console. It should be noted, however, that formatting will waste some storage space. Of the advertised 2 terabytes, we still had 1,7 terabytes available for the games. But that's still more than enough.
