Works great and easy to use! Small and convenient.

Works great and easy to use!

This is an excellent drive, I use it as additional storage on my Xbox Series X - you can't play the new gen games from it, but archiving games on here and moving them to the main storage when I want to play them is a significantly faster than downloading them. Great speed and fairly decent value. Xbox detects it right away and is a speedy transfer.

Great for Archiving Games on Xbox Series X

Question

I ordered a 1GB and a 2GB version to use with a Mac Mini Pro 2023. The drives are fine, they're fast, the only problem I have is that even when they're ejected by my OS they continue to remain hot simply because they're  plugged into the USB port. Even if I connect them to their ports and eject them in my OS, they proceed to warm up significantly. I'm sure the level of heat isn't a major problem, but I've opted to physically disconnect and reconnect them.

Get hot, even if ejected.

Great for storing games, can't play series X games from it but can play older games from it. Quick transfer between this and internal

Gre6for Xbox series X

Didn't work pnp for my mac, but got it working just fine.  I expect it to last a decade or more.  Maybe I'll update this review in 2033.

No complaints

Great looking drive and easy to use with my PS5. The lights aren't overdone or distractingly bright but I would like to have the option to turn them off while using it at times. All in all definitely recommend it.

Works great with the PS5

Works as it should with some bling. The "in use" lights are a nice touch.
