Why You STILL Don't Need Expensive Expandable Storage | Xbox Series X/S (A Year Later)

After a year of using a normal HDD for expandable storage, have my opinions on the topic changed? No, the super fast storage cards are even more expensive now...

$400?!? Insane prices...do what you want with your money but wow! I haven't had any regrets with the decision I made last year.

[@JackMcSomeone]

Try living in Australia. The 2TB card is $700 here. It's around $50 less than a Series X at retail price

[@Azrael-Legna]

I think it's ridiculous that the digital exclusive console has LESS storage than the disc one. The S should be the one with more storage, not the X.

Where did you get an 5tb hard-drive seagate hhd drive for your Xbox most I found was 4 tb and that's 119$? I wanna go the hdd route and have more memory with less cost. But im having trouble ifni want seagate or WD black Hdd. ???

[@SaviorNate]

the best thing to do is keep all of the series x/s games stored on the internal drive while the xbox one games are on the external. then you can run any one of them whenever you want, plus you can plug the external drive into an xbox one to play those games as well

[@marcusdy1974]

So basically just Install optimize games internally and all others on a external? And save hundreds of dollars. X/S on internal others on say a Seagate or other brand.

I only have 12 x games rest are one games so I should just get a external hard drive for my xone and 360 and xbox games ?

[@solidsnake6405]

I use a 1tb sandisk extreme v2 ssd along with a 4tb hdd. I keep all my 360 and xb1 games on the hdd,and use the sandisk ssd to store x/s games that I'm not playing atm but want to quickly transfer back to the internal ssd later. This has worked great for the past 6months,but more and more I'm outgrowing this process as more and more games are requiring to be on the internal ssd,and honestly it's flat out bad for the internal ssd to keep writing to it so much. What is frustrating is that there are so many games that do not need to be on the internal ssd from a technical aspect, yet force you to play them from there just for the sake of carrying the X/S logo.take gta san andreas definitive edition and a whole slew of gamepass indie games as examples off the top of my head. Microsoft really needs to Crack down on this with developers before it becomes a serious problem for the Series Consoles. All the Devs want to market their games as being "Next Gen" without actually adding ANY Next Gen features that warrant being on the internal ssd.

[@tdmdchannel2339]

It's crazy $400. I'm not rich by any mean but there was a time I paid $400 for a 128GB SSD for my PC to boot faster. Hopefully, the price will go down around $200-250 for the fast 2TB expansion storage.

I bought the 1TB expansion used on Mercari for $150. I have no regrets so far. Most games I play are X/S enhanced so the SSD didn’t make sense to me. I love how you can just jump back into games with the quick resume. I’ll play COD online and when everyone is offline I can easily jump back to the pause menu that I left another game without reloading the whole game again. It truly unlocks the the gen gaming experience for me.

I am actually surprised your other video doesn't have more views, it was a really helpful video on a topic that not many KZbinrs really talk about. I when I first got my series s, I did not realize that next gen games could not be played from an external drive and had to use internal storage and I already had a 1 terabyte drive. But after seeing this video, I was really happy I knew I would not have to spend literally the price of a college class on an external drive for 1 tb of storage.

Only thing I regret about buying the Series S is the lack of storage and how expensive it is to add more external storage. You’re better off just saving that $220 and buying the 1tb Series X…..that’s if you’re lucky enough to get it for the retail price $499

[@TheAntManMan]

That’s my regret but I couldn’t find a series X to save my life

[@mrxram2866]

I am going to buy a Series S. For almost the same price, $520, I will have about 1.283 TB available than having 802 GB from Series X at $500, that is 481 GB more for $20. Not only that, Series S games size is about 20 to 60 percent smaller than on Series X, even if Microsoft states that Series S games size is about 30% smaller. Unless you prefer the 4K resolution and want to have digital games stored in a CD that serve as a license key to access the game on the internal or external drive of the console once the system save them (which is where you play the game from), you may consider a Series X. But hey, don't buy the memory right away, wait until next year just in case it will drop the price or Microsoft allow another manufacturer produce their Velocity Bulls!it Architecture memory cards (which is already in the market), it is just that Microsoft is blocking those SSD's with a code.

[@mrxram2866]

@Yung Grandma That is the problem when developers get a new toy with higher resources, the use all they can to stand out in the market with visuals, texture rendering, and adding many props and 1000 monkeys jumping and running all over the screen instead of focusing on performance.

I hope the next generation of consoles will finally give us a decent hard drive out of the gate(like 5tb). I have a 4tb, slow mechanical hdd from my Xbox 1 days, the 1tb internal drive.

​@kalebuck3282 it's not cutting edge, same with still using the drift prone mechanical stick modules. PS made it so you could just add a simple gen 4 ssd, no specialized items required, and can be done easily. It is literally a dumb money move because of how many cease orders 3rd parties got for it. IT IS THE SAME WITH CONTROLLERS, CONTROLLER CHEATING WAS NOT AS MUCH OF AN ISSUE AS THEY SAY IT WAS. It was to stop people from buying any controllers with hall effect that weren't paying licensing with part of their profits.

[@topflight6024]

So pretty much if you don't play the X/S version games you're good to buy any Seagate hard drive but if you do play the X/S version games you're pretty much forced into buying the most expensive drive am I hearing correctly?

You should make this video again. With the current state of the market, and external SSD's being at all-time low prices including the "special" Xbox series x memory module it would make it even more interesting to the masses. I think your opinions are on point.

I remember paying 1000$ for a 1 gig drive many many years ago for our server. I bit the bullet and ordered the 2 terabyte storage. Its not here yet, either is my x box series S yet. I would have purchased the X version but just was not available for the 599 it was around 800$ and I refuse to let people rip me off. The thing I worried about with a external drive was not the time it takes but I know that digital drives have a set number or rights and then they will not right to the drive anymore and its important to have fill them up so I plan on using the external storage for my games and let the operating system use the internal drive. Hopefully the console will last many years that way. I am not rich either but I am old (64) and I have worked all my life and still do so if I want something within reason I buy it.

Yeah, it's a complete rip off and Microsoft and Seagate should be embarassed. Microsoft should be embarassed also by only including 1tb in the first place but I presume they had the expansion already figured out. There is no reason why we couldn't have just used any ssd.

I picked up a 1 TB and have no regrets. Super fast transfer speeds and very convenient. Nevertheless, since Nvme drives are lowering in price, these solutions should become cheaper too. It's too bad that the USB ports are literally usb 3.0 instead of 3.2, because usb Nvme drives cannot remotely run at specified transfer rates.

At least ports in back are 3.2 gen 1. You probably meant Type C 3.2 gen 2 but that wouldn't allow you to take full advantage of NVMe speed either because that is limited to 10 Gbps (1250 MB/s). To take full advantage of NVMe gen 3 drives you'd need to use at least Thunderbolt 4.

So many people complain about the storage but who will honestly say they don't blow 400 or possibly $800 before the end of the month each month That's a easy save you could easily say $50 every two weeks and have the money in no time because here's some PlayStation and Xbox will do exactly as they've done before and eliminate the PlayStation 4 being CrossGen and all that other stuff like they did with the Xbox x and then people will complain because then it's going to be large updates to reach that 8K and major 4K images that the game is supposed to give that major push so don't you save yourself a headache honestly and go ahead and buy it I went 2tb Because we all know that once these games are canceled out as being cross-gene and next gen to be able to be made for both consoles that price is going to go up and either you're going to be deleting games that are steady getting really great updates or you going to be able to leave them there

If you have anything less than a series S or X you need a new xbox. If you have the series S you need a fast ssd to play X/S optimized games off of being majority games now are optimized. If you love your old games probably dead at this point or single player you'll be fine to save a buck getting the much slower hdd drive. Speeds 10x slower you can see the price difference. Ebay has hdds with consoles like 4tb for no additional price.

I waited till prime day forced brick and mortar stores to drop the price to $230..so yeah it is worth it

[@jasonli5737]

hoping these get a price drop... its absolutely insane for the prices as im editing this I NEED TO KNOW WHERE THAT 95 DOLLAR SEAGATE STORAGE CARD NOW!!

Excellent video excellent drive

[@rudyculous]

Can you just leave that 5tb external hard drive plugged in to the console without damaging it?

[@grimmreaperpx4790]

I leave mine on and it works just fine.

[@mat_max]

Do games not optimized for the series x and s benefit from putting them in an external ssd or are the load time the same as in a hdd?

[@christianhq45]

What was the first game you were playing

[@CastisV]

Hades, it's a great game, on Game Pass too.

[@Dieseltruck73]

Can you trade the games with the x/s logo back in forth or can they not be put at all on the hard drive??
