I have been researching NAS devices for a while and stumbled across this. since it is the latest from seagate i figured why not give it a try! i have had this a little over 2-3 months and i have ultimately put it in place and haven't touched it since. it has been very reliable and has met my expectations. i have been able to use the built-in app (S-Drive) to access my files from anywhere. i also use a VPN to my house to stream movies. i actually have a decent internet connection at home and after a little bit of buffering, movies stream without issue. the main thing i use this for is to also backup my MacBook Pro. i connect to my VPN from work and just let it do its thing. that way i've always got the most up to date backup.
the next thing would be the iOS picture backup with the seagate app. its a little flakey on the iOS app, but it eventually gets the job done, and my pictures as well as my wife are both backed up.
I then backup specific files on the seagate drive, from its built in backup feature, to a PC running carbonite which then backs up those files to the cloud.
overall great device. very reliable, and does what it needs to do.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Could I use this to expand my storage on my Xbox One?

Sadly no. This is a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device. it attaches directly to your network via an ethernet cable. you will need to purchase a external HDD with USB 3.0 support for the best experience on Xbox One. I purchased a seagate 1 TeraByte backup plus slim and works great!
good luck
