WD®, a Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC)  company, and world leader in storage solutions, today introduced the My Passport®  X portable hard drive for gamers. When connected to Xbox One™ or a PC, the  sleek 2 TB My Passport X drive provides much-needed storage capacity for gamers  to store up to 50 extra game titles¹,  eliminating the need to delete previously purchased games from their Xbox One or  PC hard drives 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’ systems² without  having to download. 

  “Game file sizes are expanding to 36 GB  per game and upwards, and are projected to continue growing,” said Tony Tate,  vice president and general manager of WD’s Content Solutions unit. “Console  gamers are able to store on average only 10 games on the 365 GB out of 500 GB  that is available on the onboard hard drive. 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 hard drive in blazing-fast speed  without a separate power supply. The My Passport X portable drive’s stylish and  compact design is also built for durability and shock tolerance, as well as  long-term reliability for peace of mind. In addition, the drive offers gamers  no-sweat set-up – they just plug it in, follow the easy on-screen instructions and  enjoy expanded storage for backing up, protecting and storing games and content  in just minutes.
