Couldn't find anything online when I searched, but it's a 5400rpm drive so definitely the "black" here is pure marketing. As are performances, I assume it has a bit of cache as I could reach the claimed speeds on a drive benchmark test, but in normal use speeds are just on par with any external 5400rpm disk. **Q: Is this smr or cmr?** A: It's a device managed SMR drive inside **Q: Is there any physical difference between the pc and xbox versions? is it faster and more reliable than the wd my book?** A: The 12TB Game Drive is faster than most external drives. Using it on a USB3.0 port I get 200 to 250MB/s. If you only get 80MB/s something is wrong, or you have it in a USB2 port. Most other external drives only achieve about 100MB/s. **Q: can this be used with a pc/laptop or is this made for just xbox?** A: I've not used it with a PC, but the data sheet says it's compatible with Windows 8.1 and 10, so I don't see why not. It's not the cheapest or fastest portable drive available, but for an Xbox owner, the (limited availability) 2 month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate voucher made it a good offer. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD_Black D10 8TB Game Drive for Xbox, External HDD, Transfer speeds up to 250 MB/s, 7200RPM, Active Cooling to Store Your Massive Collection, 1 Month Xbox Game Pass, Black - Anker USB C to USB C Cable, Type C 60W Fast Charging Cable (6FT, 2Pack) for iPhone 16 Series, iPad Mini 6 and More (USB 2.0, Black) - Acer USB Hub 4 Ports, Multiple USB 3.0 Hub, USB A Splitter for Laptop with USB C Power Port, USB Extender for A Port Laptop, Windows, Linux, Acer PC and More (2ft) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/154476619-d10-8tb-game-drive-for-xbox-external-hdd-transfer-speeds](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/154476619-d10-8tb-game-drive-for-xbox-external-hdd-transfer-speeds) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-04*
