WD My Passport X External 2.5-Inch HDD for Xbox One and PC Gamers

WD, a Western Digital company, introduced the My Passport X portable HDD for gamers.

When connected to Xbox One or a PC, the sleek 2TB My Passport X drive provides needed storage capacity for gamers to store up to 50 extra game titles ⁽¹⁾, eliminating the need to delete previously purchased games from their Xbox One or PC HDDs and removing those ‘storage full’ warning messages while allowing players to get back to their games. In addition to added storage, gamers can use My Passport X to take saved games to use on friends’ systems ⁽²⁾ without having to download.

“Game file sizes are expanding to 36GB per game and upwards, and are projected to continue growing,” said Tony Tate, VP and GM, content solutions unit, WD. “Console gamers are able to store on average only 10 games on the 365GB out of 500GB that is available on the onboard HDD. The My Passport X portable drive delivers a fast and easy way to expand capacity and enables an expanded library of games on the go.“

The power of the USB 3.0 lets users access and save files on the My Passport X portable HDD in fast speed without a separate power supply. This portable drive’s stylish and compact design is built for durability and shock tolerance, as well as long-term reliability. In addition, the drive offers gamers no-sweat set-up – they just plug it in, follow the on-screen instructions and enjoy expanded storage for backing up, protecting and storing games and content in just minutes.

My Passport Ultra X portable drive is available in the WD store and at select retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy, and distributors in the United States only. My Passport X 2TB drive has a MSRP of $139.99 and will offer a 1-year limited warranty.
