QuestionWill it work with an Apple MacBook Pro that is five years old and can It achieve the same fast speed?
Asked 4 years ago by Mac.
- Answer Hi, please be informed that the speed of an externally connected storage device is mainly dependent on the interface used to connect the external storage device. The optimal transfer speeds of this external SSD Drive can be achieved when it is connected via a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface. If your old MacBook Pro has older USB 2.0/ USB 3.0 interface USB ports, then it will achieve maximum transfer speeds supported by your MacBook's USB Ports within the maximum transfer speeds supported by this SSD Drive. In order to know more about the USB Ports of your MacBook Pro, it would be best to contact Apple Customer Support.

QuestionWill this work with the new Xbox Series X gaming console? Thanks
Asked 4 years ago by ThatGuy.
- Answer This works great with Series X|S. I am using it for playing non-optimized games from. Extremely fast load times. Speeds close to the internal drive and Seagate Expansion Card. 950+Gb usable is great. Can hold about 8-10 games (around 100 Gb size) (more if smaller size). Still can not use it for Series X|S optimized games but for back-compat Xbox One/360/OG games provides a great gaming experience. Paired with a 4 TB Seagate Game Drive or NAS for storage and you have enough storage for everything. Definitely worth the purchase for Series X|S, but next-gen gaming
