Hello.
I see Xbox hard drives that seem identical to a model that are for pc. One is formatted for Xbox but is cheaper.
Can I just buy the Xbox version and format it for PC?
 
Solution
Yeah normal usb drive the thing is it's pretty slow with low cache,doesn't matter for consoles much and if you just need it to store your files it's going to be ok for windows as well.

In general yes but just to be sure show which drive you are talking about.

Thanks Terry.
It is a "Avolusion HDDGear 6TB (6000GB) USB 3.0 External Gaming Hard Drive, Xbox One X Pre-Formatted" as listed at Amazon. I always thought one could format about any drive to NTFS if needed. Thanks again for your help.:)
