Having that performance maintain while increasing the number of games you can keep stored is a great feature, and something all Xbox One users should probably take advantage of. More likeable is the fact that there's no noticeable performance drop when compared to the internal hard drive.īooting a game from the My Passport X was comparable to booting it from the internal option, while installing the game was similarly timed. There's no worrying about external power supplies, no challenges with complex UIs – this thing is simplicity itself to use. Plug it in, follow the prompts and you're on your way. It's definitely nice that the My Passport X matches the Xbox One's stylings, but you will ultimately leave it plugged in and hidden behind the console anyway, so styling probably doesn't matter. The budget conscious will probably want to save their coins and get a cheaper USB 3.0-compatible external hard drive. It may not be the cheapest USB 3.0 hard drive you can get, but there's a lot to like about the My Passport X. Given the extra 2 terabytes will let you store as many as 50 extra games to your console before you need to think about deleting them to free up storage space, that performance dip is hardly a deal-breaker. Booting up that same game from the hard drive was also ever so slightly slower, taking 30 seconds compared to the internal hard drive's 29 seconds.
