Putting an SSD in my Xbox One X in 2024

[@Gundamortal]

These video just save me hours 🕰 of research.😭 thank you so much.

[@Yoshi_Boii]

Happy to help!

[@jasonpn]

Thanks I wasn’t sure it was worth it but this was helpful

I installed my ssd a few years ago, but the menu lag and inability to play any DVD or Blu-ray just had me ???? All day. I bought a series x but still own my Xbox. Any reason why the menu lags soooo much

[@Yoshi_Boii]

I haven't heard of that! sorry! not sure what to tell you

[@postnick]

Wait.. the One X comes with a mechanical drive still even in 2020 when it came out???

[@lateron2041]

Xbox One X was released in 2017, it's Xbox Series X was released in 2020 and it does come with M.2 SSD

[@postnick]

@@lateron2041 Yea the naming conventions was like Wii U levels of bad. I have an Xbox One S, I put a SSD in it, it was better but not so much better that I kept it in place.

[@Yoshi_Boii]

what do you mean "Kept it in place"?

[@CarterDarter]

Did you notice the initial slowdown or slow responsive in menu's was reduced? That's what drives me the most nuts, I want my OS snappy always

[@Yoshi_Boii]

menus seem to be about the same.

My Xbox one s hard drive has broke recently. And I was wondering can I replace with an ssd and it work without any cloners or computers just replace an go. I have seen hard drives with software installed on a usb that would give my Xbox life again. Was just wondering if I would upgrade to a ssd in a similarly easy manner. Thanks for any help

[@Yoshi_Boii]

would would need to make an offline installer and put it on a flash drive. should be able to boot up and install o ff of that

[@jonathan_beattie]

Im needing some more information about what you did for cloneing and expanding the drive. Also what software you used ect. Im attempting a 2tb swap in my one x and have had continued failures.

[@Yoshi_Boii]

you would clone the drive I you intend on keeping the storage the same size. if you're gonna do it bigger, then you'll have to flash the drive and install a boot up on a USB drive and do an offline restore from the usb. there are tons of step-by-step videos on KZbin and lots of tutorials on the internet that I found useful.

3:50 - 4:04 Shaka run? *I know it's edamame but it's sounds like Shaka Run*

[@Yoshi_Boii]

maybe? not actually sure hahaha

Bonjour pour le remplacement du disque dur interne de ma xbox One X j'ai procédé simplement à la mise à jour hors ligne par clé USB je n'ai pas fait de clonage, y a-t-il une différence sur les deux modes de remplacement je parle au niveau des performances et de la rapidité

[@Yoshi_Boii]

Le démarrage est devenu 2 fois plus rapide, le chargement des jeux Xbox One est environ 4 fois plus rapide.

[@jeromebrot7370]

@@Yoshi_Boii merci pour ta réponse mais vous m'avez pas répondu à ma question

[@autoaudiomonster]

Was there an issue with the xbox recognizing a larger drive after running them in the cloner?

[@Yoshi_Boii]

no, but I only had access to 1 TB instead of 2. Cloner will clone everything, including the size, even if the new drive is bigger.

[@Game__Boy]

Curious why you aren't upgrading to Series X? I'm also still using One X, I went with a 2TB external SSD though. Mainly like to use it for back-compat 360 and a handful of other more modern games. Things are starting to change though, it seems like increasingly even when it seem neccesary devs are just not releasing XB1 versions like the upcoming Sand Land & Visions of Mana which are on PS4, PS5, and XB Series. They're also on PC though so I might as well just get them there.

[@Yoshi_Boii]

an $80 ssd upgrade is cheaper than a $500 new Series.... and as of February 2024, there's only something like 25-30 games exclusive to next gen, so it's not quite worth it for me yet.

[@imaginitivity7853]

​@@Yoshi_BoiiYou may also be able to play some of those titles through cloud gaming on the Game Pass. This aspect I rarely see discussed when talking about the need for the latest hardware. But I find cloud gaming totally fine on my Xbox One S. Load time is usually pretty quick. Looks and plays great and no messing about optimising storage or removing stuff to make space

[@SP95]

the last videos talking about the SSD upgrade showed that there was barely no difference between external SSD and internal SSD so I wonder what happened but this is all good news

[@Yoshi_Boii]

My last video? or this video? There are definitly some exceptions, but generally boot up is twice and fast and loading games is 3x faster. not nearly as fast as the velocity drive on the series X and S, but still much faster than the stock HDDs.

[@Alnero80]

@@Yoshi_Boiiwhich one internal drive do you recommend in 2024/25?

[@Yoshi_Boii]

@ Samsung is always a solid choice. I just go off of Amazon reviews. What drives have the most reviews? Id prefer to go with a 4 1/2 star rated hard drive with 10,000 reviews over a five star rated hard drive with 50 reviews.

[@Alnero80]

@@Yoshi_Boii I ordered the Samsung evo 870 from Amazon

[@Bmagj2]

Thanks l. But, It'd be nice ti see exacrly how you ckoned the identicslly sized ssd without a "cloner".

[@Yoshi_Boii]

I don't know if or how to do that without the cloning device.
