Pros

Using on xbox series s. No problems so far, formatted and worked with xbox one. Xbox one x will ask you to format it also. As a psa, always back up your hard disk.

Since the station is battery powered, power consumption is a factor, which this fills admirably. Noticeable improvement on load speed.

Cons

Quality

I was impressed with the transfer speed when i loaded 350 gb of data to it

So i am quite happy with this purchase

Cant guarantee this will be the right number so you may need to verify this with the manufacturer but thats what windows report... Read More

My advice to get the full speed use the cable that comes with the drive and do not use an extender

Price

Really like this unit because it is reasonably fast moving large files and the price is getting down in the flash drive range

Good cost effective drive with no virus issues

Shipping

This is roughly half as fast as the 420mbs quoted on the box

Packaging/appearance

Theres nothing in the packaging showing the serial

Competitiveness

Its a little more expensive than some of the other noname devices but this one is the real deal

I bought this 960g as an upgrade to its little brother the 240g model that i bought a few years back

So i bought pny’s elite 480gb usb 3

Ships in exfat format can be changed to whatever you might prefer
