The white & black colourway makes the Black D30 a perfect visual companion piece to the standard Xbox One S or Xbox Series S, and the slightly smaller footprint granted by the slimmer, more compact NVMe SSD that it contains allows for a compact form factor that takes up very little space. Similar to the WD Black P10 Game Drive that we reviewed back in June, the Black D30 sports the same industrial-meets-military-black-ops design that helps it to stand out from competing drives on the market, but this Xbox-branded variant has a bit more going for it visually it’s actually kind of cute. Consequently, NVMe storage doesn’t enter the Xbox conversation quite as often, but that hasn’t stopped some of Seagate’s competitors from trying. Meanwhile, over in Xbox-land, where internal memory upgrades have been completely off the table from the beginning, but the vast majority of Xbox games can run off of standard drives (at least for now), plug-and-play expansion options abound, from your average USB 3.0 external HDD to Microsoft’s much faster (not to mention pricier and proprietary) Seagate Storage Expansion Card. According to Sony, only certain specifications of this expensive high speed memory format are fast enough to match the console’s lightning-fast internal drive, hence the limited public rollout of the feature. This is especially the case for both the disc and disc-less editions of the PlayStation 5, for which Sony recently opened up limited support for internal NVMe SSD drives to PS5 owners participating in the most recent OS beta. These days, it seems that whenever one brings up storage options for next-gen consoles (i.e., PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S), it’s all about NVMe.
