I bought this to use with my Xbox One. I had issues with it at first, and after calling in to Western Digital's customer service line, I was advised that the one I had was defective, and I needed to exchange it.
After going back to Best Buy and making the exchange, I brought the new one home and started hooking it up. Needless to say I was wary and very skeptical. I needn't have been. I made two connections (power cord into the outlet and USB cable into the back of my Xbox One) and fired it up.
The Xbox One immediately recognized that I had an external hard drive hooked up and asked me if I wanted to format it. I said yes. Then it asked me if I wanted to make all future installations onto the external hard drive (I said yes to that, too). It also asked me to name it (I just kept it named external for identification purposes). And that was it. Super, super easy.
I transferred a few games over to see how it worked, and it was super fast and incredibly easy to do. If the external hard drive was making any noise, I didn't hear it. And I didn't notice any longer load times when I played games from this hard drive as opposed to playing from the Xbox One internal hard drive.
The bottom line: it's quiet, fast, and easy to use. I highly recommend it for expanding your memory on the Xbox One.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It works for playing games on your Xbox One. Not sure about other systems though.
