"Where is the RGB lighting? I can only see G
In that case R and B would be wasted on you!
This is too small for my use, I have a non lighting 14TB and its near full and cost 170.
Looking at history 8TB range from 100 - 130ish:

So in comparison not as great £/TB.
However it does look cool and its cheapest for this model. If size and £/TB is not an issue then decent buy

So I'd say yes.
I have a white 2.5" western digital 4tb command stripped on the top of my Series S beside the fan grill that I got from the repeated sales on these drives. I don't know why but I think it just looks really neat and keeps the footprint small. That's completely irrelevant, just mentioning it in case someone else wants to do the same, the problem is the transfer speeds from HDD.
It's actually not really much faster at all for me to swap out a game from HDD than it is to just download it again from MS servers. I should've done the math on transfer speeds before I pulled the trigger, but HDD transfers max out at around 700 MB/s and fluctuate a bit between 500-700. Downloading is about 500 for me from MS.
What makes it pointless a lot of the time is that if it's a game on the HDD it's probably one you haven't played for a while, so could well need an update. So you have to transfer it back from HDD to find out it needs an update, then download and apply the update from MS servers anyway, when it could well have been faster just to download the latest version from the get go.
If you're rural or on a slower connection I can absolutely see the benefit, other than that it's worth figuring out if it will really help.
This will be better on a USB SSD, but then you're paying a lot more.
