How big are those friggin' games? To fill 8TB with 200 games (yeah, I know it says 200+), they'd have to be 40GB each.

8TB for $100 is sweet. $20 less than 6 months ago. Hub drive is handy if you need extra ports.

Ive got one, use the front ports for charging cable and swapping portable drives.

They can be used on a Mac. They're especially useful on M1 Mac minis which don't have a lot of USB ports, except that the hub is very underpowered so best used for kbd/mouse and other input devices rather than chaining drives.

This is one of those shingled hard drives. I've heard mixed reports about their reliability.

They don't RAID well. Okay for a single drive, tho.

Not atypical for Xbox One games. Most of the AAA titles are 30GB or more; some clock in at 50 to 60, all things told. Then you've got the DLC and add ons.
