It’s absolutely disgusting Xbox thinks it’s okay to charge basically the same price as the console 2tb is barely any space these days games are huge I got like 6 Xbox series x games installed and the entire console is full

After several videos about this Expansion Card and why you shouldn't buy it, only regarding the price, finally a real and good explanation why you should!
Imo, a combination of a 1TB Expansion Card and an USB SSD harddisk is the best option.

Thank you. Actually helpful and straight forward really appreciate it

[keystonekid]

Fantastic and straight to the point. I'll subscribe to help u out my guy..we need more people like u

[turnpiketumbler]

Interesting video. So, could I play the likes of Battlefield 1+5, COD and RDR2 straight from the Samsung SSD card?

I know these videos are old now but after waiting a year to be able to get a ps5 and still not being able too I need to upgrade. I did not consider the series s a good contender. I was hugely mistaken. I have been watching as many of you xbox series s videos I can find. And will be ordering one very soon.
I hope to be to find some new ish series s videos

Honestly, I'm perfectly happy with my external HDD. Yeah, it may be the slowest option, but it does the job when I want to transfer games. It is still a lot faster than downloading them again and with ISP data caps still a thing in this day and age, it works flawlessly.

[mooble]

something to keep in mind if you are getting an external drive and intend to swap games to and from your internal storage, do not get an external SSD. they degrade much faster than hard drives if you are repeatedly deleting many files from them at once then redownloading them. i'd personally just get an external HDD no matter what, but if you really want an external SSD, only get it if you're not planning on repeatedly swapping games.

Since the Series S is my first XBox, i thought that "Storage Expansion" Port is for legacy Storage things. ^^ not for modern SSD expansion. ^^

A lot of the public is forgetting load times. External SSD CANNOT RUN OPTIMIZED X/S TITLES. It only stores them. you still have to move to internal anytime you wanna play and depending on title will add extra time to your day moving titles back and forth vs the ridiculously expensive yet convenient memory card that runs X/S optimized titles. I’d say do both if you have the money one for old generation. One for new optimized titles.

[batterygib]

On average whats the speed to transfer hames from ssd to internal storage?

[caseybelew]

I got the series x..I bought madden 23..nba 2k23..modern warfare 2..and assassin creed vahalla..I got like 100 gb left. I think ima get the Seagate 2 tb card and I be good..I'm just getting back into gaming etc and I'm so behind lmao

[lumfvmr]

I bought the samsung T7 500Gb 3.2 usb ssd which is a very very fast drive but it still won't reproduce any X/S optimised games at all, it is only capable of saving the huge size new generation games on it, and simply you can copy them on the internal ssd disc to be able to run them.

Got portable 30Tb SSD for android i hope it would work on xbox. Seems like it will

[lego_minifig]

Personally, I’d never buy an external SSD. They are often overpriced in my opinion. Its way more affordable to buy an external 2.5in, M.2, or NVME enclosure and then buying the drive separately. The enclosures run from $10-50 depending on the type of drive. (2.5in being the cheapest and NVME being the most expensive) You can get a 1TB SSD for roughly $100.
