Xbox Expansion - "offer the best possible speeds for the new console on an external drive" -
This is a fantastic addition to the consoles, which should have been higher from the get-go. Seagate has made the leap and offered us gamers the opportunity to keep multiple games on hand, instead of picking and choosing which one to delete to make space for the next. Excellent addition.

SSD Drive
I've got an external hard drive for my Xbox, but what I've noticed is the games launch and run slowly on it - with an SSD drive it'll be like the games are installed on my Xbox, but I have an extra 1TB of space for all my games, what a pleasure! Hope to win this guys, awesome products! Cheers.
