Western Digital has launched its Gaming Drive Accelerated for Xbox One, an external SSD that is very easy to install without opening the console
The new SSD for Xbox One comes from Wetern Digital with its WD Gaming Accelerated, and it's external. We have it available in capacities of 500 GB and 1 TB, both are compatible with the Xbox One S and its vitaminized version, Xbox One X. The solution that Microsoft offers for its consoles is better than the old alternative of a HDD, this is an SSD, much faster, protected by a case and easily plugs into the USB 3.0 port. The 1TB model can supposedly hold up to 25 games, based on the average download size of an Xbox title. Loading and boot times will be significantly improved.
Read speed is 400MB / s in Western Digital internal testing, omitting write time. Either way, they are somewhat slower than most Sata III SSDs on the market. The price for the 500GB drive is $ 120 and the 1TB drive is $ 220. The 500GB and 1TB capacities of WD Gaming Drive Accelerated for Xbox One are sold out via the WD Online Store, currently only available in the US. Plus, it's pocket-sized for easy portability and a 3-year warranty. The prices are somewhat expensive, we can find cheaper alternatives on the market.
