We love the WD_Black D10 series 12TB External Gaming Drive. It makes for a great external solution for both PCs as well as past gaming consoles. I say past because the ones launching next month are going to work best with NVMe SSD solutions when it comes to taking advantage of the proper load times and frame rates. This also makes for a great general external storage solution for everything else, although there are a few more affordable 12TB-14TB solutions on sale recently if you don’t need the boost in speed this has to offer. This is the only thing that would have dropped the score on this one is how expensive it is (but only if we could have dropped it by half a star, which we cannot sadly). Is the drive a little louder than some? Yes, it can be. Is it annoying? Not really, unless you sit it too close to you are you are using it. If it is under a desk or has some distance between you and where it sits, it isn't as noticeable. If you had any experience with the type of drive that is inside, you'd fully understand this and expect it. How much faster is it? This can vary depending on the speed of the drive sending information to it with, as well as the type of files (quantity, size, etc). It varies if you are actively writing to it vs transferring a file. This is the same with any drive. However, usually everyone likes to base everything on the write speed of file transfers, and in that case, the average speed was around 230MB/s. Faster than your typical 5400rpm external drive, but not going to change your life or anything. It's just there if require the extra speed. This also depends on the drive you'd be comparing it to--old or modern, which could make the difference anywhere between 50-100MB/s faster than these other HDD options. It's nice to have a fan already inside since if you abuse your external drives with constant large transfers and monitored their temps. you'd realize many of them like to get quite a bit hot. So having a fan inside already helps prolong the life of the drive. **If you have found our review helpful, please vote it as helpful below so we know.

Not just for Xbox; great external drive for a PC
I purchased the 12 TB model. Not sure why the 8 TB model is rated for more products and the 12 TB model is only listed as being for Xbox. As other buyers indicated, it is detected by Windows (as 10.9 TB) no problem. I got this product to use as a backup drive to a RAID 10 array in a Win10 PC used as a media server. What struck me about this product was that for ~$300 it was very hard to find an alternative that beat its value as a 1) large capacity, 2) great performing, and 3) convenient solution. Buying a single hard drive of 12 TB capacity isn't cheaper than this drive and I would still need some sort of enclosure to stash it in. I could have spent ~$50 less on some 10-14 TB WD My Book drive thing but that would have been roughly 1/2 the write speed of this drive (240 MB/s). And, though I could have cobbled together some secondary RAID array to use as a backup with multiple, cheaper disks, it certainly is far less convenient to maintain that than having a single thing for the backup solution. I wish I had bought one of these when it was priced at $250! UPDATE: I bought a second one of these, this time for my main PC. Modern PC cases have moved away from supporting 5.25" media drives and 3.5" HDDs. So, to open up flexibility for my next PC build, I have been trying to find a way to pull these things out of my build and connect them via USB. I found a nice OWC enclosure a couple weeks back for 4k UHD disk ripping drive. Recently, I kept trying to find some sort of drive enclosure to house HDDs and direct attach them to my PC. After spending hours looking at Orico, OWC, QNAP, etc enclosures, comparing USB speeds v. RAID support ... I remembered this product. Honestly, I couldn't come up with an easier way to get my 3.5" disks out of my PC case, have a great amount of storage, 200+ MB/s write speed, and almost zero hassle. I have no concerns about any noise issues as I doubt it will be louder than my PC fans under load. ... show more

Good storage solution for Xbox Series x for normal non-series x enhanced games
Using this for external storage for an Xbox series x This does not allow you to play Series X enhanced games but it does let you store them for quick access to the internal storage. I am going to add a 16 TB next because I have run out of space these games are just too big these days. I wish the memory cards for the series x would go down because it's ridiculous to pay as much as the console for a 4tb memory card. You should be able to use an external SSD for this PlayStation got it right I hope the new console Microsoft comes out when allows you to utilize externals because those memory cards are ridiculous ... show more

Super Sized Simplicity
I wanted to update and upgrade my local backup hardware and wanted a large-capacity HDD with a good compromise of cost and speed. I like the industrial aesthetic of the WD Black series and was willing to consider a slightly higher cost for the design. I originally looked at the WD Black 8TB model, but decided to purchase the 12TB model intended for Xbox and reformat for desktop use as the most cost-effective approach. When the drive arrived, it initially would not power-up with the included power supply but after some connection troubleshooting it began working. Root cause of that problem is unclear, but the issue has not reoccured and has been working reliably for well over a month. After connecting via USB 3 hub and reformatting for use with macOS, the drive appeared on my desktop and is used primarily used for local long-term storage needs (e.g., photos, media, etc.). Read and write speeds are good for a HDD (it's not a SSD) and have been consistent in my use (initial seeding of ~3TBdata was performed manually and checked for errors). This is a shared local drive and access from other systems has also been very solid. This drive data is also backed-up to separate devices locally as well as remotely and performance has been consistently good. Very happy thus far and highly recommend if you need a large-capacity local device that does not require absolute peak read / write speeds. ... show more

Preliminary testing was solid, "active cooling" is worthless.
The first thing I did after plugging this drive in was run an extended test using the (now deprecated but still available) Western Digital Life Guard Diagnostics, which checks every single sector on the drive. It is very intensive and takes about 15 hours, so point a fan at it while this is going on. Under normal use I have not seen the drive go above 40c, but it will slowly creep up while doing intensive work for extended periods of time. The "active cooling" is worthless because it doesn't start cooling until 60c. That is simply ludicrous. I'd rather it be on all the time. For reference, Western Digital's product spec literature indicates the highest operating temperature to be 35c. In other words, the "active cooling" DOES NOT TURN ON UNTIL THE DRIVE IS 25c OVER IT'S OFFICIAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE! WHAT?! I use the drive on my PC, not a PlayStation or Xbox. Reading other reviews it seems the drive does not shut off with the console, which if this is true is a major design flaw. I use a program to manually power down the drive when not in use. Using CrystalDiskMark my speeds were at the advertised 250 MB/s or higher. It's not a quiet drive in terms of clicking. It clicks. A lot. The warm up sequence when powering it on sounds like something grinding. But I suspect these fast clicky heads contribute to the drives rather impressive read/write speeds. Aside from the clicking, it is remarkably quiet for something that has 8 heavy magnetic platters spinning at 7200 RPM. There is no hum or any other kind of whirring sound as far as my ears can tell. Despite there being a giant pulsating white LED on one corner, it does not appear act as an activity LED. It seems to just pulse and look gamer-ey. There does not appear to be any other activity LED present. Please do not start phasing these out on portable drives - they're useful. ... show more

Great amount of storage, but very noisy.
I bought the 12TB for my Xbox One X as a primary storage for my games. It has ample storage, for all the games I have. I have 135 games roughly on this drive, and still have more available. This might have a been overkill, but I just wanted to be safe. I like that it its made for the Xbox, and not just a normal External Drive. And being a black color, to match my Xbox. And I think it looks tough with the way they designed the case and stand. I have not had a single problem playing, or loading games onto this drive. It is very fast in that department. My only complaint is this drive is pretty noisy when it's being used. I notice it the most when I'm doing an update for games. But that's my only complaint. If you are looking for a tough, fast and closet full of storage, this is the brand and drive to get. In the end, I highly recommend it. ... show more

Absolutely amazing!!!
I was really excited about getting this but still nervous about spending the money. One I got it, I hooked it up and man this thing is fast!!! Within minutes a game was already transferred and I was playing. Quicker loading times it seems like and just an offer all better performance than my old Seagate. The 12TB is awesome and after 140 games written to it I still have 8.8TB left. It also runs at 7200 RPM compared to 5400 RPM with other brands. It matches very well with my Xbox one and I overall am very happy with my purchase! Of yeah and it comes with 3 months of Xbox live ultimate, huge bonus!!! ... show more

Works Great! Very fast in comparison to my Seagate drives, has 10.9TB which is a full Tb under 12 I figured a loss of 250-300 Gb... but otherwise it is a wonderful purchase and honestly want another as it is filling up fasy with these games! With the included 3 months of gamepass can't go wrong!
