The WD Black D10 Game Drive adds 12 TB of external storage to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles. It ships ready to use with an AC adapter and a USB Type-A to Micro-B cable. The 7200 RPM mechanism delivers sustained transfer rates up to 250 MB/s for quick game loads.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface and active cooling

The drive connects through a single USB 3.2 Gen 1 Micro-B port and requires the included power supply for operation. Active cooling technology helps maintain thermal conditions during extended sessions. No bus-powered option is available.

Two 7.5 W USB-A charging ports on board

Two downstream USB Type-A ports supply up to 7.5 W each to charge controllers, headsets or other accessories while the drive is powered. The 3.5-inch form factor measures 4.92 x 1.73 x 7.68 inches and weighs 2.16 lbs. Buyers needing a portable bus-powered drive or a smaller desktop footprint should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What does the 250 MB/s speed mean when I'm actually playing games from the drive?

The 250 MB/s rated speed lets you load large Xbox titles quickly and keeps texture streaming smooth during gameplay, supported by the 7200 RPM mechanism and active cooling that maintains performance during long sessions.

How does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface affect real-world transfer rates?

USB 3.2 Gen 1 caps the connection at 5 Gbps, so the drive's 250 MB/s sequential capability runs at full potential without bottleneck, while the Micro-B port handles data and the two USB-A ports provide 7.5W charging each.

Will the 3.5-inch form factor and 4.92 x 1.73 x 7.68 inch dimensions fit on my desk or shelf?

The desktop-class 3.5-inch enclosure measures 4.92 inches wide, 1.73 inches tall and 7.68 inches deep, weighing 2.16 lbs, so it needs a stable flat surface and room for the included AC adapter and cable routing.
