Is this new WD Portable harddrive compatible with the Xbox one and Ps4 as a external hard drive, or am I better just going with the other WD externals

This drive only has a thubderbolt connection, so no it will not work with PS4 or Xbox One. You need a USB drive for either.

This will only work with Apple Mac with thunderbolt input. This will not connect to any USB based devices

This drive only has a thunderbolt port, so if the game systems have that port then it's a go. This drive does not have a USB port

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

The answer that I got from Toshiba staff is "This drive is formatted in the NTFS format and must be reformatted to the FAT32 format to use it with an Xbox 360. Once reformatted it will work fine." Hope this helps!

Should work fine I have the 4GB slim and I added this drive. So far I haven't needed to install any games cause most of mine are older. But I have been installing the free xbox live gold games with no issues. So a game with install should not have a problem with this drive.

Rocco, I wish that I knew the answer. I have the same question, as I'm interested in purchasing two, of the WD World Edition 2TB, to daisychain them through the USB. Maybe, somebody will know soon?

Some games are reverse compatible with a hard drive. Not all original Xbox games are. If the hdd works then yes you should be able to but I would buy it at a game stop location to be on the safe side that way if it does not you can still return it fairly easily.

This HDD does work well with the PS4. Those who have had problems are those who don't have 1.70 software, or later, running on their PS4. Just make sure that you also format the USB drive to FAT32. I recommend you have 1.70 software or later already running on your PS4, then switching out HDDs. Also make sure the software you use to reinitialize is around 900MB. There is another with the same name that is around 300MB, this would be the wrong one and lead to errors.

If it's SATA to SATA yes. You need to do a Google search to find out what the specs are on your ps4. Here's a starting point http://www.idganswers.com/question/10898/can-i-add-an-external-hard-drive-to-a-ps4

Plug it into the Xbox. Then the Xbox will format the drive. After this you should be able to use the drive. Will give you step by step prompts.

B. Meerdink, neither of the two information you brought are backed by the links you posted.I've been searching the internet for the same info D. Wong wants, I'm about sure there is no document on WD's website that will state which is the internal drive interface of "My Passport Essential" products. This is something only reviewers who have opened their "My Passport Essential" drives can tell us. Do you happen to own one of those? Have you opened it up?? Has anyone out there?

Short answer: No. Long answer: Don't expect this drive to work at all. Couldn't even install and play the first game I tried on it and that was a 360 game. Original Xbox games require a specific partition to be in place on the drive that this drive lacks. I'd go for an official Microsoft drive.
