Don't buy the WRONG Xbox Storage in 2023! 

Honestly im glad they made a 1tb ver but its still not much with the size of games now

It's actually criminal when you get home and realize you can only install 3-4 big games "Big games" some would only be able to download 2 games.

I thought it should have been like 1.256 tb for the series s to start, and maybe 2.256 tb for the series x. The SSD storage could have been increased without too much of a loss of cost on microsoft's end

right? i recently purchased an XSS bc it was cheaper and I can only keep 1-2 games at a time. 150 for 1tb storage is wild.

@@JAMES_IS_COOL1227stop only playing crap live service games like Warzone that take up hundreds of GB and you’ll see that there are tons of other smaller amazing games that you can have installed at the same time

I appreciate that! Trying to make a rad gaming environment where playing video games is the focus

@@julienmelnick so basically the storage device that i have its 1Tb and only will allow old gen games to ge downloaded on it and wont allow new gen games to be downloaded on it, i want to buy a new one but dont want to waste my money if it wont work which one should i buy.

It’s worth it. I bit on the holiday bundle and it’s so much better than my OG Xbox one. Yes, I have my PC… but it’s so nice to just kick something on and get straight to playing.

Only thing u lose is storage really, any game the series X can run so can the series S

The Series X is WAY more powerful, man. Trust me, I know. Especially, if you have a LG-C1 OLED with 2.1 ports and 1GB internet. SMH. I HATE leaving my flat. LoL.

@@xonnathagreat7644 I can imagine, but with my experience with the series S, it's great especially after I got Game pass

@@xonnathagreat7644 the only difference is FPS, and for most games the S keeps up with the X. So I mean is it really all that much powerful? I mean I’m sure it is but doesn’t seem like the extra money

I have an external one as well but my xbox says that it can only store like the xbox one games on it and that the series s games have to be stored on the internal storage

@@kvngodum4239 from what I’ve seen you can store the series s/x games on the external and just transfer it to the internal when you want to play, but they could have changed it since then

@@deletusthyfetus637 you can only store it

@@mehtalcypress but can you play from it or you need to transfer for the internal ssd?

@@BoliveiraNTPW you have to transfer it to the internal ssd

you got a steal on that expansion card!!

@@CurryMonster24 yeah!😂 I was lucky! I was already going to buy an external, but at that price, I couldn't resist! But it wouldn't be an issue for me to move games from the internal to the external drive tbh

1TB Seagate Expansion for 90€!? Never, ever.

@@Fruchtpfote dude, I'm telling you... I think the store made a mistake on the price. They ran out of stock in 2 days, and it's a big company here, at least 50 stores in the country.

@@tweaksilva7253 you will never find that kind of sale in asian country mate. pity me :'

I’ll just summit up for you basically if you have the series S like I do and you have an external hard drive for it if it’s not optimized for the Xbox series S or X you can play on the external hard drive but if it is, optimize for the Xbox series, S and X it has to be on your Xbox itself

Dude get em a series s

There are some very large games that *have* been updated for the X|S, yet still can be run off an external drive. Two examples are State of Decay 2 and Halo: MCC, and there are many more. Halo: MCC is 106 GB, so I don't want to be running that big a game off a hard drive when I could be running it off of an SSD that's about 4x faster! A typical inexpensive external HDD (5400 RPM) isn't just slower for sustained transfer speeds, it's even slower still when you consider seek times. Yuck! So while the external hard drive might be only 3x slower for a sustained transfer (such as transferring games), it might be 5x (or even worse) to actually *load* a game off of an external drive due to those seek times. I can live with an external HDD being 3x slower than a decent SSD for storing games, as I can set it to transfer games when I go to sleep, or whatever. But 5x slower for playing a game, especially a large game, is tough when I don't always have a lot of time to play.

Why did you get an external ssd when you can’t play games off it that requires the internal ssd? And the transfer speeds armt much faster then a hdd

@@wardraven8755 I play a lot of games that can be loaded off an external SSD (Halo: MCC, State of Decay 2, and many more). I typically install once and leave it there, so the speeds to transfer back and forth aren't especially important to me. I find typical loading times significantly better on a good USB SSD significantly better than an external HDD.

They were cheaper

@@TheChristianGamer Fr?

@@brayluvsuyt2552 yea the demand for them went up because people wanted them for there consoles and on top of that there was a shortage of them due to Covid and parts to manufacture hdd and ssd aren’t as plentiful since companies are trying to phase them out it is said that by the year 2028 there will no longer be any hdd your best bet is to buy off of Facebook market place or try to find used like new ones on Amazon

@@brayluvsuyt2552 now for 80-100$ you are only able to buy a 1tb hdd but I know a company that takes used hdd and refurbishes them called Avolusion 16tb for around 100$ or 3tb for 50-60$

So glad to help man!

Suks to be you, glad you can afford it tho

Not rich but work 2 jobs, money is good but I do get exhausted.....

can i put captured on the seagate one just ordered one wanna make sure i can use it for captures

I will, thank you

Ps5 has about 600gb usable space. But they have an extra nvme slot so can expand really easy and cheaper than the xbox.

How does that ssd work

@@rubennn1 both work great, no issues. The external is closer to 50-60 now. Plug into back of xbox.

@@zachkirby4490 I’ve bought the ssd don’t like externals cus you have to download the games

no problem

No problem

can i put xbox captured/clips onto it that’s what i’m looking into right now

welcome

Yeah that's my thought too. It does'nt make sense to me to buy a series S because I will need more storage at some point and so at the end I will pay almost the same price. So it's a better idea to buy a series X directly I think.

Done!

Personally, I see the Series S + the seagate card as a payment plan that doesn't need a credit check. Handy. My TV doesn't need the extra bells and whistles of an X, and my tiny room does not need more gameboxes fighting it out on my shelves. But with GamePass I know I'll download more than I would if I was strictly buying. So... Get the Series S this month, and then save up and pick up the Seagate once I have 100% certainty that I use the system enough to warrant it. Win win in my opinion. :)

What? Cable companies are capping your downloads? I'm glad I got WOW internet for now. All this price gouging makes me wanna like in the wilderness.

World’s best wife 🙏

Do you still have to transfer the games from SSD to internal to play the xs games

@@isaiahdiaz312 no that’s only with the external hard drive i think

​@@_Tenka unless the games didnt have the X|S icon on it but if it have, he need to transfer it to internal.

yea it is pricey

For me The 360 gigs usable playable space that comes with the system is nowhere near enough. For you having a external hard drive you cannot play x/s games and if it's an older version external hard drive then the transfer speeds are probably ridiculously low. You need to upgrade Mine is a 5tb Seagate with 2gb a second transfer speed. Super fast actually as fast as current technology will allow. 😅 Super inconvenient though having to transfer games back and forth. So if you have a lot of x/s games (newer games made for the Xbox series s or X ) than you absolutely need the expandable SSD slot card aswell I got the Seagate but the WD models ant that bad and cheaper but they don't have pro shopping capability (I'll explain in a sec) currently I'm running the 1tb Seagate card but will be upgrading to the 2tb maybe 🤔 the new hard drive actually released a lot of pressure on storage gta5 is over 100gb alone and is not a x/s optimize game So it's playable from the external hard drive. Now pro shopping tip if you have Amazon prime membership you can buy the Seagate drives any of them The card slot or external on a buy now pay later 0 interest rate a payment option available to Amazon prime members. Payment option that's available on a ridiculously amount of different items btw I got my Xbox series s using this method you pay like $20-$50 a month for a few months depending on home much it was. And again zero interest no credit checks no application it is just a simple payment option available to prime members that a lot of people don't even know about. I also got my hisense U8 82in massive smart tv this way black Friday was like 4k on sale for 60% off plus the buy now pay later option straight sweetness 🎉🎉

Don't count on me for this answer. I believe any 3.1 usb hard drive or ssd will work. As long as it is 3.1 usb. Id check it out, but im pretty sure that is the correct answer

Is it an external hard drive? Does any usb external one work with the series s

I would just run external storge tbh
